My gosh, she goes on to list 10 reasons why Gore should be their candidate. What planet is this woman living on?!
And here they are, in all their glorious stupidity. Hey, she says to share them!
10: My dad, the Midwestern bellwether, thinks Al Gore can win.
9. Gore doesn't pander to the religious vote, and he has forcefully and eloquently spoken out about separation of church and state.
8. He is courageous. Gore has consistently called the current administration out on its radical agenda, extremism and criminality.
7. By 2008, energy conservation will be an American obsession, not just with the so-called liberal "elite." Gore, the public conservationist, drew ridicule talking about it in the days of petrol plenty, sounds pretty smart now.
6. By 2008, global warming will be a mainstream concern. Gore was talking about global warming back when it was still science fiction. He's starring in a movie about it, coming to multiplexes along with "Over the Hedge."
5. The Iraq War will be universally understood to be a disaster by 2008. Gore opposed the Iraq War first among his peers, and forcefully, in 2004.
4. Gore is squeaky clean, untouched by corruption. No lost billing records in his linen closet, no Enron or Abramoff staining his campaign finance reports.
3. He can fight. He seems to have recovered his vitality, after the apparently spirit-draining years in Washington, the U.S. Senate and the vice presidency.
2. We CAN forgive him for selecting Joe Lieberman as his running mate, as long as he doesn't ever do it again.
1. He actually was elected President. If international election monitors had been running the show in 2000, imagine how different the world would look today.
Bonus point: He's related to Gore Vidal. He could make his cousin Secretary of State. Okay. A girl can dream.
