Awesome.

I don't know what I would ask him, if I had the chance. Everything I can think of sounds trite.

No man ever answers that question truthfully.

Ask him if he'd like to go jogging with you.

You'll have time to work on the important questions while he's trying to keep up with you.

no real question, but i wanna know, i his head as big in person as it appears on tv

dude seems to have a giant head, let us know

Okay. Let's see.
Dress joke.

Jogging joke.

and Big Head observation.

Eh, I'm beginning to think you think I'm joking.

I'm not.

I'm having lunch with Al tomorrow.

Granted, I will be amongst about a hundred or so gathered to hear him read from his new book, but there is a very good chance I will get to ask a question or two. (I'm very good at raising my hand.)

So.

I first became interested in Al Gore the day I discovered he could sing the words to Bob Dylan's songs. His greatest fault, in my estimation is, he does not organize and run his political campaigns very well. Tell him edgarblythe still thinks he's make a very good president.

Not joking about jogging. The dude needs the encouragement - his jackets are getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Believe you about the reading - the tour's been here already.

I don't think I'd ask him anything about politics - I'd rather go for something that he's less prepared for - crack him, he'll tell you anything.

Ask about the process of developing his global warming show ... who'd he practice it on ... did Tipper get sick of being his audience ... who writes his jokes, or is he really the slick one Cool

(ok not that last bit)

i'm serious, i want an observation on his head

as for a question, i assume that a politician will tell you what you want to hear, so there's no sense ever asking them anything

I'm bringing a fedora. It's a size 9.

Ask him who he'd endorse if he stays out of the race. (Yeah, it's "are you gonna" sideways, but I'm interested.)

Ooo.

Too little time for actual discourse. Still, I'd like there to be a discourse between you two. I'd like to read that.

Have no idea what the engaging question might be to promote that, other than to send his site, whatever, your writings.

But as a guy with one question, I might ask some stoppers about invasions and their nature. Which, of course, would get me cut off.

Ask him why he's starting to look like Brother Justin on Carnivale.

Looks, the whole thing about looks - we cut off various runners for being too nice looking, and others flipping all that.

I don't care re which side, this ephemeral stuff is very stupid.

I agree with the above; ask him about Iraq and Iran.

Or, ask him about the middle east as a whole, and his vision for it; maybe how that vision intersects with his environmental one? An eventual transition away from an oil-dependent society is going to majorly impact that region.
