Al Gore's no-good, very-bad month

Big Al has had a rough month or so-- indirectly through ClimateGate and directly through a series of foot-in-the-mouth snafus:

the temperature in the center of the earth

the timing of the ClimateGate emails (here's amusing/sad video of a reporter's efforts to ask Gore to retract)

his Arctic ice predictions (as good as any other?), dropping a scientist's name who wasn't real happy about it

He and Tiger are taking a big hit-- in terms of reputation and the ol' pocktbook. Here's to hoping Al gets more self-inflicted grief in 2010...cheers!
