It is said that God's ways are not man's ways, and that He uses simple things to confound the wise... consider yourself confounded...

[vandykelastone]

aND WE ALL SAW WHAT THEY DID TO lIEBERMAN, the only man among them who could have been president.

[2nd Amendment]

well said! well said! Has Al Gore made one cogent remark since losing the election?

[Right_in_Virginia]

This is a very good article. Thanks for posting ;^D

[jolie560]

That there mo-bile home is just what I've been looking for.

A little screenin on the back patio is all it needs. Hot damn. Good idea.

[searchandrecovery]

Perhaps AlGore should be institutionalized for his own protection. Or at least do it for the children!

"The shoplifters sure do miss the crooked store security guards, don't they?"

One of the best descriptions of the clinton gang I've heard...and oh, so, true.

As for the other comment, "Clinton's make it look so easy that anybody thinks they can do it."...well, I think anyone who can sucker in the National media like clinton, can make it "look easy".

To the liberal media, clinton could do no wrong. If clinton had burned down the NYTimes building, they would have hailed as a "brilliant move to make way for remodeling".

The media can make a sexual predator into a "great President", and about 50% of America will buy into it. I think what makes a "great man" is one that succeeds in spite of the media.

Maybe 200 years from now the history books will put clinton and his minions into the back of the book as the administration that took Monica, and the country, to their knees.

If hillary ever gets into the Oval Office...stick a fork into America...because it'll be "done".

[Drawsing]

Gore's talks have turned into impressionist art. Verbal "Picasso's" – loud and wildly over-exaggerated. If anybody's speech has four eyes, two noses and three breasts, it's Gore's.

Brilliant prose.

And on the subject of the redneck mobile home...it needs a big sattelite dish.

[jslade]

Remember the Alamo, Remember the Maine, Remember Dingell-Norwood.

"Nurse Ratchet, white courtesy phone ... Nurse Ratchet, white courtesy phone."

Medication time...Al Gore, it`s medication time.

What precisely is wrong with the rats?

When historians pontificate about the forces and movements that define a nation's course, they generally assume rationality. But as anybody can see today, there is a total lack of rationality in the Left, which unfortunately guides a large part of the electorate.

If we can't find any rationality in the rat movement today, when it is here in front of us, then it is folly for historians to ever try to really assume they know anything about the forces of the past. Maybe that's why Henry Ford said "History is mostly bunk." (Of course, I understand that he took a liking to Nazism, and Goebbels by extension, so perhaps he had darker and more utilitarian motives for such a view)

You called??

[dagoofyfoot]

the fact that Gore is not president makes me lean towards a belief in god


...Well that's a good place to start my brother!


The democrat party is a simple equation;

There are always going to be people who will blame the government for all their problems in life

who expect the government should be "taking care" of them...

who think the world owes them a living

who don't believe in God, or any kind of code for living that society and civilization needs to sustain itself

That refuse to recognise any "Truths" about right or wrong any longer

Who have an extreme hatred for Christianity and the things of God so much to the point that they truly believe that society would be better off if it were completely "Godless"

And lastly, they label themselves as "victims" and release any individual responsibility for themselves or the decisions they make


There will always be a group of people who fuel the fires of this thinking in hopes to gather the vote of these losers in a quest to further their own political ambitions, This my friend, is todays Democratic party....(and it's truly evil)


Sacrificing any morals or religious beliefs to gain power, (in their minds the end justifies the means)

[LisaFab]

This article is great. This Powers guy is right up there with Dave Barry and Lewis Grizzard. Great one-liners. And true to boot.

Agreed and bumped. Another winner from the all Powerful.

I think the time has come to draft Gore as a candidate. The left wants an end to the war but Kerry is not about to end it. Gore would. He would draw far more votes than Ralph and give the loony left the standard bearer they are looking for. And there is a ready made slogan for his campaign: If you don't want the war, Vote Gore!! It could be a sure winner ... for George W.

[Mamzelle]

re: I am an agnostic, but the fact that Gore is not president makes me lean towards a belief in god. (I'm not kidding here.))))

I believe you.

You might do a stroll down memory lane here on FR during the Fla madness of 2000--You'll see quite a number of prayer threads.

[G.Mason]

"In trying to copy the pattern of his former boss in achieving the nation's highest office, Gore was like a three-fingered shop teacher convinced he can perform the same sleight of hand magic of David Copperfield. In doing so, Gore dropped the cards all over the floor, right next to his marbles."

Not that there aren't more memorable lines in this piece, but this one is outstanding!

[Starboard]

The root of Gore's real downhill emotional spiral began at the presidential debate...

It was pretty apparent that he was unravelling back when he took on different personalities for each of the debates. Not even carrying his home state probably helped push him over the edge.

[atomicpossum]

Maybe 200 years from now the history books will put clinton and his minions into the back of the book as the administration that took Monica, and the country, to their knees.

It won't take that long. Clinton left behind nothing of import as his 'legacy.' A good economy doesn't have any real meaning 50 years after the fact.

I recently heard this read on TV. TOO FUNNY!

 

Farmer Al

by Michael Kelly

---

"And no single bit of writing during the 1990s captured that weird ability of Al Gore to make himself ridiculous through exaggeration like Kelly's piece "Farmer Al." After noting Mr. Gore's claim to have been raised on his daddy's farm, Kelly contrasted that with Mr. Gore's real upbringing in a plush Washington hotel."
