    AUSTIN, Tex. — Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, was asked a question here at a bloggers conference about energy. Ms. Pelosi glanced at her BlackBerry, noting that she had an e-mail message from a friend on that very subject.

    With that, the voice of former Vice President Al Gore came over the public address system, as if reading the e-mail message: “Dear Nancy.” This created a sea of quizzical looks in the audience, then gasps, cheers and a standing ovation as Mr. Gore strode on stage.

    The surprise appearance produced the first electric moment at the conference, the Netroots Nation, an ever-widening group of progressive bloggers whose major interests — the war in Iraq, the environment and technology — mesh well with Mr. Gore’s current pursuits. Indeed, many in the crowd of about 3,000, most of whom are supporting Senator Barack Obama, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, were overheard saying they wished Mr. Gore were running for president.

    As waves of cheers washed over the cavernous convention center, Mr. Gore said to Ms. Pelosi, “We ought to take that act on the road.”

    “We are on the road,” she replied.

    “Well, I feel right at home here, I’ll tell you,” he said.

    Mr. Gore, later answering questions from the audience, said he would not accept a role in the next administration. The best use of his talent and experience, he said, is “to focus on trying to enlarge the political space” within which politicians can address the climate crisis.

      wow! Gore knows how to make an entrance!
      wonder how good he is at getting the hell off the world stage?
      how does a man named Gore get a peace prize?
      and what the hell does a film and lectures about global warming have anything at all to do with peace?
      what a crock it all is! what a false show!
      look… his film has more manipulations of fact than most Michael Moore films and several people have tried to sue him for fraud!
      meanwhile, any insider such as Gore knows that the real solution to reducing vehicular emissions is just way too simple so the people must never find out about it! TUT SHIFF! the genie is out of the bottle and you can join the revolution at http://mywater4gasengine.com

      Yeah, how about he starts with his own house!?!? Once that is fully “green” then he can talk about it.

      Google a tale of two houses. . . pretty funny if you ask me!
