"Funny how David Brock missed this comment [from Dowd]"

He also seems to have "missed" the convoluted psychoanalysis of conservatives last year from leftist academics at UC Berkeley. It was widely trumpeted in the liberal media, but not a peep was heard from David Brock on that one.

His ranting and screaming and sweating showed that he was either...

Poor Gore. His sweating really completes the crackpot/preacher effect.

I bet those same pundits could multitask and fit Algore perfectly with a new pair of shoes also.

Wasn't there also an article (NY Times?) not too long ago talking about how the President's speech patterns... I vaguely recall some kind of link to "rigid" thinking, inability to compromise, just tons of psychobabble. It was a whole diagnosis. Anyone else remember this? The liberals have made these kind of criticisms a cottage industry... now the whiny little crybabies don't like it when it's applied to them?

I missed that one, but I certainly wouldn't doubt it. Odd, though, that the NYT would be decrying the intrusion of personality disorder into the public square. Case in point: Their own employment and promotion of the ill-qualified, Jayson Blair, whose bizarre behavior in college was a matter of record when he was first hired.

Then there's the publisher himself, who drags his stuffed teddy to company conferences...

What a total jerk. Why does not he just go away?

Maybe, Tupper will get him the straight jacket he so baddly needs.

a loon cries in pain,
as if having remembered
something better forgotten.

I remember both those studies you are talking about. And don't forget the psychiatrists' report in 1964, saying that Barry Goldwater was psychologically unfit to be president. Funny how Brock has such a selective memory when it comes to such things.

One other item -- the Times' article on Gore's recent speech ran on page A26. It seems even the Times thought Gore sounded a bit wacky; which is why they downplayed the speech, even though it happened in New York.

The big diagnosis of Bush as having a mental problem was written up in 2000 by liberal writer Elizabeth Drew. She all but declared that Dubya is dyslexic. It was a very influential article among liberals and formed their intellectual pattern of what they perceive him to be like.

The biggest mystery is why Al Gore dropped out of the race. No one has satisfactorily explained why one week he goes to China and the next week he drops out of the race.

After all, he did win the popular vote. One would have thought he was the natural candidate.

Liberals can always dish it out but they can never take it.

True. An unspoken liberal mantra is "I have freedom of speech, so you shut the f*ck up."

Dick Morris, "Clinton Abetting/Here's How Bush Should Do It/Toe Suckers"



add to that "dog collar wearing," that is, if my memory serves me right, but I may have this dick confused with the wife of his former boss

What the hell was with the towel and the mopping up of the sweat? Can you imagine clinton watching that and thinking, he's 'effing crazier than I thought? He's embarassingly unbalanced, and to be honest w/you we could stand a lot more of his stark relief tour. What a pear-shaped loser!

He only ran for president twice. He decided not to in 1992, probably because he was afraid to run against Clinton.

Hey, cut Al some slack... could be
he's under slumlord stress again be-
cause of rental unit toilet problems...



Funny you should mention that. I was cleaning the bathroom floor today and I looked at the toilet and thought of Gore.... and his inability to get a toilet fixed. If it had been a Bush toilet they would still be talking about it.

AlGore=Slum Lord.

Maybe he got confused when someone called him Lord and now he thinks he is royality?

Al Gump is the poster boy for a very real disease that all liberals have, in varying degrees.

He started the run but dropped out early. He did attempt to be president 3 different times.
