Today Show ping.

I don't see why Al Gore shouldn't get a new government job. They must need janitors somewhere.

[billorites]

Hapless Joe.

He don't get no respect.

[fuquadukie]

Better buy some more popcorn and beer - this is going to get even more entertaining.

[thesummerwind]

Very classy Joe, or, very .......!

[Sam Cree]

He doesn't deserve it, or even pursue it, I don't think.

Lieberman bemoaned the fact that Gore is supporting Dean who is diametrically opposed to Gore's past positions on issues.

This shouldn't surprise Lieberman. He himself had to do a tight-wire act, while flipping on issues, in order to be crowned the VP candidate.

Gore Calls Dean Endorsement "Big Mistake"

"Oh, sweet mother of Gaia!" former Vice President Al Gore exclaimed, upon discovering he had endorsed "maverick" candidate Howard Dean for president.

"That wasn't what I meant to do at all," Gore, flanked by his wife, Tipper, told a hastily-called news conference.

"I guess I was confused by the ballot," Gore contended. "I had a list of the nine dwar -- er, candidates running and I guess I just slipped up and marked the wrong one, darn it!

"This is the kind of thing that could happen to anyone," Gore continued. "Particularly our seniors, now so hard-hit by President Bush's shameless and draconian Medicare bill."

Gore said he had meant instead to endorse his former vice presidential running mate, Joe Lieberman.

"I hope Joe will forgive me this egregious error," Gore said. "I've always said the little shrim -- er, senator -- had my endorsement, unless and until Hillary announces, and then I would reserve the right to endorse her, if I know what's good for me. Isn't that right, Tipper?"

"What?" Mrs. Gore replied.

The former vice president added he would seek immediately to have his endorsement invalidated by the Florida Supreme Court.

Only if the other Dem candidates get down and nasty with some real bad dirt about Dean. They'd have to do it during that debate tonight.

<^..^>

This brings up the whole reason why Al Gore lost the last election...Al Gore!!

"The most telling moment of the interview came when Katie said: "some have called Dean too liberal. Does the endorsement by Gore, who is more centrist, help establish Dean in the mainstream?" "

Right, Gore is ultra-liberal and Dean is wacko-liberal. Gore's endorsement sure establishes Dean in the mainstream.

LOL!

[PGalt]

Joe...you are the classic useful idiot. Now get back to the work of the party, Mr. Conscience of the Senate.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Interestingly, Russert essentially agreed with you! He pointed out that Gore has moved left, and that someone who flirts with Moveon.org can hardly be considered "centrist."

[JennysCool]

"Is it symbolic that this announcement will be in Harlem, where Clinton has his office?"

Sigh. The Libs. They can't even make a simple announcement without putting on a pandering show. All smoke and mirrors.

Mr. Conscience of the Senate

Some wag once observed that Lieberman loves to very publicly struggle with his conscience, but that his conscience almost always loses the struggle, witness his vote in favor of partial birth abortion, his 'no' vote on Clinton's impeachment, etc.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Are Gore and Soros buddies?

Gore is a pretender to the throne, and he knows it.

[PGalt]

Well stated. Says it all about Joe, doesn't it?
