And we should listen to him why?
The only thing in nature more dense than Depleted Uranium is Algorium. It is much too dense to be fashioned into a practical weapon and is so unstable it will actually go off on unassisted.
Al,
You were not hired, we do not care about your opinions anymore, please go away.
Sincerely,
The American People.
What's Aldork doing in Tennessee ? You'd think he lived there or something.
In other words: Anyone but a Democrat is unacceptable. Shut up, Gore.
Get over it.
Is there any truth to the rumor about Gore and McGreevey in Boston three weeks before the Convention?
J. Effin Kerry took one look at what AlGore did to Howard Dean's presidential hopes, and must have told him to stay as far away from the campaign as is humanly possible, which is why the Human Tree is talking to a handful of Nashville's country music Democrats and not to a larger audience of potential voters.
I guess Al would just rather we leave the CIA headless, while Congress dicks around for several months "acting on" the Commission's findings?
That would really help the intelligence situation!
I saw a book onetime and the title was, "The Prince Of Tennessee." The prince was supposed to be al gore. The title should have been, "The Fool Of Tennessee."
Big Al says, I feel like I can fly after taking a hit from my opium laced cigarettes. Al gore was born a poor black child who lived over the railroad tracks in Nashville.
I find it interesting that Al and Tippsy "returned" to TN after the 2000 defeat, considering he never actually had lived there before.
Gore criticizes Bush for choosing 'partisan player' to lead CIA
President Bush continues the pattern of using the Sept. 11, 2001, tragedy for political benefit by nominating a ''partisan player'' to head the CIA, former Vice President Al Gore charged yesterday. Gore said Bush ''thumbed his nose'' at the recommendations of the bipartisan Sept. 11 commission by nominating Rep. Porter Goss, an eight-term Republican from Florida, to head the CIA.
In a speech to about 350 members of the Music Row Democrats, Gore said Bush picked a ''political ally experienced in bitterly criticizing the Democratic nominee on the subject of war and intelligence gathering.''
Gore told the audience at the Belcourt Theatre: ''A president of the United States who was genuinely and deeply concerned with healing the wounds in our nation and bringing us together as a people and doing everything possible to learn the lessons of 9/11 and implement the recommendations of that commission and make sure that it never happens again would not appoint a partisan political player on the eve of the election to head the CIA and ignore the recommendations of the 9/11 commission.
''And it's what he's been doing: using the war, using the division, fostering the fear, dividing us as a people. Now I know that in today's modern political climate, saying things like this drive the pollsters up the wall. I don't care.''
David Kustoff, Tennessee general chairman of the Bush-Cheney campaign, responded that Goss is qualified to serve as CIA director, having moved up through the agency's ranks before being elected to Congress. ''It's the same old tired song from a defeated candidate,'' Kustoff said of Gore's speech. ''People in Tennessee stopped taking Al Gore seriously a long time ago. Democrats stopped taking Al Gore seriously when he endorsed Howard Dean.''
In the 50-minute speech, Gore, who represented Tennessee 16 years in the U.S. House and Senate, was alternately funny and angry. A few minutes into his speech came the familiar quips: ''I am Al Gore. I used to be the next president of the United States of America,'' and later, ''I flew on Air Force Two for eight years. Now I have to take off my shoes to get on an airplane.'' [loser]
In the 2000 presidential election, Gore failed to carry his home state with Bush beating him 51% to 47% in Tennessee. [Did I mention "loser"?]
Gore didn't dwell on the Florida voting controversy of four years ago, but some in the audience were still thinking about it. ''I think the man won the presidency. It's a shame he's not actually in office,'' Nashville singer-songwriter Shawn Camp said afterward.
''There certainly has to be something changed. I didn't come down here to be a political speaker, but we're all aware of the state the country is in,'' Camp said.
Gore accused the president of leading the country into the Iraq war either with no real evidence or with forged evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, losing allies, and turning world opinion against the United States. He characterized Bush's economic policies as ''class warfare,'' saying they are ''geared to increase the flow of wealth to the top 1%,'' while the president portrays his policies as ''aimed at helping the little guy.''
''We have to find a better way to cut through that nonsense,'' Gore said.
Among those there were Gore's wife, Tipper Gore, and singers Kathy Mattea and Steve Earle. Hal Ketchum, a Grand Ole Opry member, joined Music Row Democrats because he does not like Bush's ''stunted foreign policy,'' he said. ''I think bravado and arrogance are the last things that should be pulled out of the bag,'' Ketchum said. ''Good foreign policy and mutual respect of allies and gaining allies are an important step.''
Gore told the audience, ''You see Tennessee portrayed as a safe Republican state. I think there might be a surprise in store this year in Tennessee.
''There is a reason why the Bush-Cheney campaign is spending all that money in Tennessee … and sending people in. They know they have a fight on their hands,'' Gore said, encouraging Music Row Democrats not only to support John Kerry and John Edwards, but also to back Democrats in congressional and state legislative races.
Kustoff said the GOP ticket has not spent money on campaign ads in the Volunteer State. Ads shown here are part of national cable buys, he said.
He really is quite mad, isn't he?
