CNN compared Gore to Jerry Lewis; Miles O'Brien said Gore "may be the Nutty Professor"

SUMMARY: On American Morning and CNN Newsroom, Veronica De La Cruz, Heidi Collins, Miles O'Brien, and Competitive Enterprise Institute senior fellow Chris Horner all compared Al Gore to Jerry Lewis, with De La Cruz stating that "like Jerry Lewis in France and David Hasselhoff in Germany, Al Gore seems to be more popular in Europe than he is here in the United States." During a report on Gore receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, which included a clip of Lewis in The Nutty Professor, O'Brien said, "[President] Bush's approval rating in Europe? About 12 to 15 percent. Al Gore may be the Nutty Professor, but whichever side of the ocean he is on, he is still faring better than the man who beat him seven years ago."
