Gore: Rummy, Condi, other Bushies should get canned
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS via The New York News ^ | Originally published on May 26, 2004 | Not Provided

Former Vice President Al Gore was to call for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and several other Bush administration officials in a scathing attack on the president’s foreign policy Wednesday, people familiar with the speech told The Associated Press.

In a speech at New York University, Gore was to argue that several officials, including National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice, CIA director George Tenet and a top military leader should step down because the situation in Iraq is out of control.

He was expected to place blame for the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal directly on the Bush administration officials, who he believes put in place policies of “dominance and the disregard for the policy of law,” said a source familiar with the speech, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity.

Gore was to claim that those policies are what led soldiers to abuse prisoners, and that top officials are therefore responsible for the scandal.

Gore was also expected to go after President Bush, arguing that his foreign policy has alienated the United States and put Americans in danger.

The speech was one of several Gore appearances sponsored since August by MoveOn.org; the liberal interest group also has a television and radio ad calling for President Bush to fire Rumsfeld.

In January, Gore attacked the Bush administration’s environmental policies.

I'm curious how he was able to buy a $2.2 million home in Nashville's most exclusive neighborhood when, by all accounts, he has no income that would come close to qualifying him for a mortgage that size.

It raises some questions.

Oh, boy! The opening for which I've been waiting (drum roll)...

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to go because I'd go berserk?

WELL,

You left me anyhow and
Then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone completely
out of my mind,

AND

They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the funny farm
Where Life is Beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those Nice Young Men
In their Clean White Coats
And they're coming to take me AWAY,
HA HAAAAA

You thought it was a joke,
and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,

RIGHT?

You know you laughed.
I HEARD you laugh, you laughed
And laughed and laughed
And then you left,
And now you know I'm Utterly Mad

AND

They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the Happy Home with Trees and Flowers
And Chirping Birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and
Twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to Take me Away,
HAHAAAAAAAAA

I cooked your food,
I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish loving deeds

HUH?

Well, you just wait,
They'll find you yet,
And when they do, they'll put you in
the ASPCA, you mangy MUTT,

AND

They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the funny farm
Where Life is Beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those Nice Young Men
In their Clean White Coats
And they're coming to take me AWAY,
HA HAAAAA

They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the Happy Home with Trees and Flowers
And Chirping Birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and
Twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to Take me Awaaaaay

Stop Digging.

Never Mind. Dig Away.

Is there a place to get one of these posters, or was it Photoshopped? I think it's great.

Interesting ... About Jeb Bush's Excuetive order before http://www.state.fl.us/eog_new/eog/orders/...1-09-07-01.html Very Very suspicious

.. I hope Fahrenheit 911 explains some of this ... I also hope the Take back the media clip on Bush in the Sarasota Elementary school is also dissected in the movie... http://www.takebackthemedia.com/true911.html

"...was to call for the resignation...

Gore was to argue...

He was expected to place blame...

Gore was to claim...

Gore was also expected to go after President Bush

Um...What happened? Did he change his (hahahaha) mind? Did he get pulled off the podium? Did somebody else make the speech? I'd like to say the suspense is killing me, but it's just making me sort of drowsy, instead...

What's that old saying? Something like, "'tis better to be quiet and be thought and idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

algore makes Dan Quayle look like Einstein.
