Former Vice President Al Gore is harshly critical of President Bush in his new book, "The Assault on Reason," in which he claims that "the current White House has engaged in an unprecedented and sustained campaign of mass deception."

In an interview with ABC News, Gore goes one step further on the war in Iraq, calling it "the worst strategic mistake in the whole history of the United States."

However, Gore refuses to place the blame squarely on Bush. "When our country made a decision to invade Iraq, it's too partisan to simply blame that on the current president," he said.

Despite his chapters focusing on "the politics of fear" and "democracy in the balance," Gore insists that "this is not a political book." Rather, he claims, the focus of the book is "the structural problems in the way we make decisions in our country."

'It's Not Like It Used to Be' Gore also dismisses the notion that this is an "angry" book. But when asked if he agreed with former President Carter's assertion that the current administration is "the worst in history," Gore refused to answer. "I've recently begun to fear that I've been losing my objectivity on Bush and Cheney …You would rather have someone else do that."

Later in the interview, Gore acknowledges that he did feel he would have been a better president than Bush. "Anybody who runs for president, as I did twice, has the impression that they could do the job better than anyone else," he said.

Gore also said that the events in the period following the 2000 election were what led him to "examine what it is about the conversation of democracy that is not working well," ...

Al finally took an IQ test. That ended it....

"the worst strategic mistake in the whole history of the United States."

Guess the Vietnam War is no longer the most recent big mistake in his mind.

Al Gore claims that "the current White House has engaged in an unprecedented and sustained campaign of mass deception."

From the mouth of the jerk who wants us to believe his unscientific nonsense about manmade climatic doomsday.

Al Gore: ‘I’m Not a Candidate’...Im a dimwit, a loser, an ecofascist, a limousine liberal, a “do as I say, not as I do” practitioner with a huge carbon footprint, but ‘I’m not a candidate.’

"an unprecedented and sustained campaign of mass deception"

I thought that was the description of An Inconvenient Truth.

[Red6]

Of course Gore is not running! In his mind he should be anointed to the office of Presidency.

[don-o]

[50mm]

In his mind he’s already attained a higher office - secular god.

“I am not a candidate.”

You are not a man either. Men don’t need women to teach them how to be men.

There are people begging this person to run. Dim idiocy knows no bounds.

[Busywhiskers]

Confirming what everyone else already knew. He just realized that he will not be able to sustain the big lie on global warming long enough to get to the Democrat convention.

[potlatch]

Lol, wonder when the light bulb went on in Gore's head!

[headstamp]

“Al Gore claims that “the current White House has engaged in an unprecedented and sustained campaign of mass deception.”

The Liberal MSM has been climbing up the ass of this administration with a constant barrage of negative coverage from day one. Then combine that with the incredible PR ineptness of this administration. Who is deceiving who? This idiot Gore is delusional.

“Im flat out crazy...People knew early on that I grew up in a hotel room and showered 5 times a day, but its only clear to people now that I have popped a major skull coil.”
