Don't tell me you were surprised

Al Gore's Oscar win for "An Inconvenient Truth" was a lock last night, if only because he is such a Hollywood darling. And the limousine liberals love to pat themselves on the back for their convenient concern of the environment. The only way Gore's victory would have been in question was if Barack Obama had made a movie about one of his own books.

It was a sad state of affairs, but we can all take solace in the fact that Martin Scorcese finally got what he has so long deserved. I would rather go blind than see Gore's "documentary," but you should all run, not walk, to the nearest theater and see "The Departed."
