The Tipper Of The Iceberg
It seems Al Gore gave an interview to the Guardian over in Britain where he's come out with the harshest criticism yet against President Bush. In it he attacked the right wing extremism Bush has brought in:
Denying that his politics have shifted to the left since he lost the court battle for the 2000 election, Mr Gore says: "If you have a renegade band of rightwing extremists who get hold of power, the whole thing goes to the right."
I mean, it just wouldn't do to promote censorship, right? It wouldn't do to play to the right when you thought it expedient. then play left when that didn't work out.
Not to worry, Al's got a whole new shtick!

Keep in mind that in the 2000 election, AlGore failed to win a majority of votes in his home state of Tennessee. Yep, the folks who knew him best decided to vote for George W Bush.
The more you know about AlGore, the less he seems to have the right stuff. All those wasted years washing dirty laundry for Bill and Hill indelibly marked him out as nothing more than an irrelevant third banana.

Keep in mind, Black Jack, that Al Gore hadn’t lived in Tennessee for EIGHT YEARS, being Vice President of the entire United States, complete with his own Vice Presidential mansion in Washington, DC. So it was the people in DC who knew him best, care to guess what percentage of the votes Gore got there??? Keep in mind too that in 2000 Al Gore got half a million more votes nationwide than Bush did. Not that the Republicans give a damn; they showed in 2000 they wanted to assume power by any means possible, fair or unfair.

Or could it be phrased that Gore attempted to assume power by any means possible, fair or unfair?
Even the NYT concluded that Bush won the election, Herman.
