Don't bother. Matthews has completely ignored Wilson's collapse. Last night Andrea Mitchell was hosting and did a segment on it. Her wrap up at the end was that the Senate committee report "added confusion to Wilson's role". What confusion?! He lied.
(Lyin' Joe hasn't been seen on TV since July 2nd. Some blogger said he must be reduced to holding up a hand mirror in order to get his daily fix of gazing at his own image. LOL!)
One person's speculation of the Algore 2004 election dropout mystery:
In 1996, TWA Flight 800 exploded shortly after takeoff over the ocean. While the Clinton team called it a terror attack in the confines of their ''war room,'' publicly the media was pushed towards reporting that the explosion was caused by a mechanical failure. That was the word that came down from the Clinton/Gore White House and the investigating personnel was told to work on that premise. The following is from a transcript of Congressional hearings on the matter of TWA Flight 800 with the head of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Congressman Traficant: ''To this point, has any physical evidence, conclusive forensic evidence, [been found] to prove it was a mechanical failure that caused the explosion of the center fuel tank? Yes or no?''
NTSB Chairman Jim Hall: ''We’re looking into that.''
Traficant: ''I want a one [word] answer. I know it is tough at this point.''
Hall: ''No.''
After $40 million dollars and months of investigations, the NTSB still could not prove that a mechanical failure of any kind caused that plane to explode. To this day, the NTSB has been unable to prove that a mechanical failure killed the 230 people on that doomed flight. One thing that was concluded very quickly--perhaps a little too quickly--by the administration was that it was NOT a terrorist attack.
In 1997, the final report of the Gore Commission on Aviation Safety was published. Just prior the release of the findings, the DNC received at least $498,000 from the airline industry. This assured that nothing would be enacted that would hinder the airline industry’s profit margin. The Boston Globe, a liberal newspaper, was outraged at the obvious sellout of the safety of the flying public for a campaign contribution and said Gore, ''failed conspicuously to address airline safety.'' The paper went on to accuse Gore of selling out. Members on that committee stated after the attack on 9/11, that had it been enacted the way they wanted it to be, 9/11 may not have happened.
What do these two events have to do with Gore’s sudden and unexpected withdrawal from the presidential race? Both could have a lot to do with Gore’s dropping out so quickly that he didn’t even inform his shocked campaign staff.
Twice, John Kerry referred to the downing of TWA Flight 800 as a terrorist attack. Once after 9/11, he mentioned the doomed plane in with other known terrorist attacks such as the U.S.S. Cole and the embassy bombings. This makes one wonder: What does John Kerry know that the rest of us do not know? After all, as a senator throughout the 1990’s, Kerry would be in a good position to know the facts about both incidents. Was the mention of TWA 800 a warning shot across Gore’s bow that Kerry knew all about both? Does John Kerry know where all Al Gore’s bodies are buried? complete story

And I thought the reason had to be that horrifying display on SNL in the hot tub. :-)
Crossing my fingers that algore will implode during prime time at the convention just so I can ask dems I know, "You voted for that? For PRESIDENT?!"
