A blogger at a Knoxville newspaper ponders a question that may soon be on many minds. Who would you vote for: Fred Thompson or Al Gore?

It would be fun to watch him cry and pout after losing again.

But the very thought of having to watch and hear him regularly on TV makes me pray that someone will spare me such great tribulation.

The man made my skin crawl.

Remember the Hulking Vulture over Opponent Debate Tactic?

I think he could be insane.

*From the Washington Post...

 

" ...For all of Gore's later fascination with science and technology, he often struggled academically in those subjects.  The political champion of the natural world received that sophomore D in Natural Sciences 6 (Man's Place in Nature) and then got a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118 his senior year.  The self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet avoided all courses in mathematics and logic throughout college, despite his outstanding score on the math portion of the SAT.   As was the case with many of his classmates, his high school math grades had dropped from A's to C's as he advanced from trigonometry to calculus in his senior year."

Great data on the Goreon.

Typical of a liberal BSer.

Take away their talking points and mantras, and they become lunatic idiots instead of just lunatics.

Technically speaking, neither is our man Fred (born in Alabama, and apparently his residency in currently in VA).

"I know that's one thing bothering him the most, that he lost Tennessee," said close friend Steve Armistead, who spent his summers with Gore while growing up in Tennessee..."

Gore has a carbon mcmansion in Tennesee and I know he has tenants that he abuses in Tennessee but I doubt any Tennesseans consider A. gore to be a tennessean.

[Sir Hailstone]

FReep a poll PING!

[MinuteGal]

I think Thompson has already knocked Algore out of the box even before either has even announced.

Algore won't take Thompson on in any way, shape or forum.

Gore is fat and flabby, Fred is lean and mean. It would be the Pillsbury Dough Boy versus Fredzilla.

Again another redneck with wrong information!
Al Gore was born in Washington, D.C., to Albert Arnold Gore, Sr., a U. S. Representative (1939–44, 1945–1953) and Senator (1953–1971) from Tennessee, and Pauline LaFon Gore, one of the first women to graduate from Vanderbilt University Law School. Al Gore Jr. thus divided his childhood between Washington, D.C., and Carthage, Tennessee: as a boy, during the school year, the family lived in a hotel in Washington and during summer vacations, Gore worked on the family farm in Carthage where hay and tobacco were grown and cattle were also raised.[4][5][6]

...Was there ever a doubt?

I guess that paper is run by libs.. They deleted my comment:

“Fat Albert Goreon, Tennessee’s favorite
moron.”

RE: "“Fat Albert Goreon, Tennessee’s favorite moron.”"

...Sounds like a pretty good 'tagline'/signature to me...
