"So why are we all paying attention to fat-boy Gore instead of the president?"
Comedy!
A while back Al Gore use to say that the greatest threat to civilization was the "internal combustion engine." Now apparently he is saying the greatest threat to American democracy is the TV set. Well, he may be right but why is the solution to the problem to eat your TV set? Have you seen the size of this guy lately? I think he ate every TV set in Tennessee!
