Gore blasts Bush political ads as 'not worthy of the presidency'

[PJ-Comix]

Former Vice President Al Gore told college students Tuesday night that the Bush administration is ``using fear as a political tool'' unworthy of the presidency.

``For the president of the United States to claim in a television ad that those who disagreed with the decision to go to war with Iraq are against attacking terrorists is a disgrace,'' said Gore, who lost the 2000 election to President Bush.

``It is a cheap and petty political tactic not worthy of the presidency. It is something you would find in a down-and-dirty sleazy campaign for city council,'' Gore added, drawing laughs from the partisan crowd at Middle Tennessee State University.

Yeesh, this guy definitely bears a grudge. While we are on the topic of things not worthy of the presidency, it is fitting to mention that Mr. Gore certainly is and will never be worthy of the presidency.

Al Gore - eh I seem to remember the name but just can't picture the face ..I think he invented something? anyway sounds like a looser!

[Don Corleone]

Does algore ever shut up?

I think he was vaccinated with a Je$$e Jack$on needle!

[PhiKapMom]

Not to mention the RATs ran those Jasper ads about then Gov Bush! That was as low as you can get!

[ladyinred]

WHAT!!!! This from a man who brought us:

No controlling legal authority!

I must have been in the bathroom when the money was passed out!

And last but never least:

The votes weren't counted! We must count all of the votes except of course for those from the military because they might mostly be for Bush!!!!!

Speaking of Sleaze Al! BTW: Get some deodorant will ya please!!!

Why is it whenever I see gore, I see him in a straight-jacket being led to a rubber truck???

Pray for GW and The Truth

'Ol Al still seething over his loss, aye?
Hey Al, no one cares what you think! Go back to Tenn...er.....never mind. They didn't want you either. Try Arkansas.

[concerned about politics]

The Libs are also saying that President Bush mentions them and there is NO MENTION of the word Democrat in that Ad

The shoe fit? Feeling a bit guilty are they?
I thought the same thing. The ad could be talking about any one - like Al Jeeria TV.
Hmmm. Why would they assume the ad is talking about them?

,i>I thought the same thing. The ad could be talking about any one - like Al Jeeria TV.

Or the anti-war freaks

[Saints fan]

Albore knows down and dirty sleazy. He knows Slick Willie.

[concerned about politics]

I wake up in the middle of the night and thank God Algore's not in the White House!

Same here. My daughter and I were out shopping today talking about that. Imagine the horror that would have been! Even the Democrats (ack!) we're familiar with thanked God. They admitted it.

[Frank_2001]

Al Bore is not worthy of the presidency, and that's why he's not the President!;)

[savedbygrace]

This is certainly in line with Gore's demand that the James Byrd chain-dragging ad be pulled during the 2000 election. Wait a minute, you mean Gore didn't demand that that ad be pulled? Imagine my surprise.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

The man couldn't win his own state for crying out loud. He has no clout to say Jack Sh!t!

[Brad’s Gramma]

What would Algore know about what's *worthy* of the Presidency? He's never been President.

Heck, the way I see it, he's never even been NEAR someone who was worthy of the Presidency.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Sounds like a pretty straight-forward, straight-talking, straight-shooting honest ad to me.

[lilylangtree]

Owl Gore at it again I see? This coming from a man with connections to Moveon.org that is part of the Communist Party of the US. Owl Gore's credibility is seriously lacking.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I think it is driving Algore absolutely NUTS that he lost the 2000 election. I guarantee he wakes up in the middle of the night many times filled with regret that he is not resideing in the White House.

With echoes of "Get out of Cheney's House!" ringing in his ears...

[tet68]

"It is something you would find in a down-and-dirty sleazy campaign for city council,''

Well Al, all politics is local they say.
Gore couldn't get elected dog catcher today.
