Look Al, I know the campaign generated so much heat it increased global warming. That's all Hillary's fault. She was the stubborn one.
(Pres.-elect Obama): No! You mean to tell me that there's NO "Pie of the Day" on the White House pastry chef's menu?
The Secret Service needs to exchange their SUV's for electric cars before I give you any other forms of advice. (states Gore to Obama)
You want me to do what!... to save the ozone.

Did you really still have your mom sining lullabies to you at the age of 27? And why "Look for the Union Label," your parents were lawyers.
In a lighter moment, former VIce President Al Gore reminisces, telling President -elect Obama about his own special campaign button which had read: "I was there when Silverman blew –New Orleans '92."
"So what about Rod Blagojevich? With that hair of his, I always thought that the fashion police would get to him first."
Al Gore fights global warming one cold stare at a time.
"Hey Al, your glass is bigger, your tie is shinier.. upstage me again and you're toast - white toast at that.."

Barack to Al : what was so hard about winning the election?
"Al, you're a pretty big fella. I need you on my basketball team."
Hey Al, does this flag make me look fat?
Thanks for inventing the internet, it really came in handy during the election.
Didn't you get the memo... Democrats don't wear blue ties.. We're bipartisan.
Don't feel bad Al, I know I made history and I'm going to be President and I'm like the most popular guy in the world right now, but hey man, you've got DiCaprio on speed dial!
It appears that "boring" is, in fact, contageous.

Gore gives Obama his top ten advice on his presidency:
10. Listen to even the inconvenient truths.
9. Don't make any passionate kiss embraces with your wife.
8. Don't let Bill Clinton overshadow you.
7. Don't let Hillary Clinton scare you.
6. Remember that your VP really just wants your job!
5. Stay green, environmentally but not politically
4. Never show your emotions, unless it will cost you an election.
3. Remember we are Harvard grads, so its okay to be called elite!
2. Don't claim you invented internet campaigning donations.
and most of all
1. Make sure your chads don't dangle.
Read my lips, Al...I am not afraid of Hillery.

If I promise to take a real stand on global warming you have to promise to stop cutting and coloring your hair yourself. that half a blonde faux-hawk isn't working for you at all.
We already gave you a green CNN logo Al, what more do you want?
That color and cut really does make you look 10 years younger.
Psst...Al, did you hear I have been talking down to black people?
Al...if I smoke herbal cigarettes, is that considered "going green"?
Hey Gore, Tell me the secrets in the white house i need to know.
"Is it hot in here is it just the earth?" Mr. Gore was very impressed with his open line.
I hear that if you take your vote total from 2000 and compare it to John McCain's, you would have won.
Alright Al, so how did she REALLY get the name Tipper?!?!
"There were no lip-locks on my acceptance night, Al...tacky, you know."

Now, the best way to crack your knuckles is to...
Are you kidding me? You think I need to add a food taster to the White House staff?
This water used to be a glacier in the artic.
In accordance with the Automobile Bailout Package I have imposed the stipulation that all new cars made in the U.S.A. must be painted GREEN!
Who's responsible for these non-recycled notepads?!
"Al, anything you can do, I can do better - and I'll get a Nobel prize, too!"

Obama–You’re devilishly handsome Al...what's your secret?
Gore–Well it’s that new procedure I'm using for my hair-global warming...sooths and conditions.
Al, lets get down to the real matter we're here, about next week,you ready to go to the mud bog and drive our hummers!
Believe me, You are the Lucky One!
Yes, Al... the water is filter!
Did you REALLY invent the Internet?
"Hey Al, give me a few good kissing lessons."

We're not changing our national colors to Green, Al.
Hey Al – what's melting faster? The polar ice caps or Detroit?
“Dude, you are not a solar panel. SPF 45, ok?”
I think a 'Hail Mary' is needed for these bailouts!
Both Al Gore and Barack Obama admit to each other that like Kermit the Frog, it isn't easy being green!
