I thought we had a deal to keep that quiet, Larry... 
Looks like I've got to open up a can of shiny metal whip-ass!

In an interview published in today's New York Times Sunday Magazine, Kristin Gore, daughter of former Vice President Al Gore, claims the Gores were 'under siege' by 'bussed in' protesters outside the Vice President's residence in Washington, D.C. during the 2000 presidential election Florida recount as Gore fought to win the presidency from then Texas Governor George W. Bush.
Gore says the protesters' cries of "Get Out of Cheney's House" (a reference to Bush's vice presidential nominee, Dick Cheney, who would take residence there upon being inaugurated) drove her mother, Tipper, to play nature sounds on a CD player to distract the family from the sounds of the protesters.
Contrary to the claim by Kristin Gore that the protesters were bussed in, they came of their own volition and either drove or took public transportation there. The protests were initiated, organized and led by the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic.
Below is an excerpt from the Times interview with Gore:
Have you met President Bush and Laura?
No, I never met them during the 2000 campaign, and since then, the invitations have been lost in the mail, I’m afraid.
How often do you think back to the 2000 election and the legal fight over the counting of the ballots?
As little as possible. If I ever do dip into that, it doesn’t go anywhere good.
Were you living with your parents during that period?
Yes. I took a leave of absence from “Futurama,” and I was home for the 36 days because I felt pretty useless as a comedy writer. They bussed in people who stood outside screaming, “Get out of Cheney’s house.”
This was outside the official vice president’s residence, where your family lived for eight years?
Yes, it wasn’t really a great atmosphere, but my mom maintained a sense of humor about it. She was making jokes about Noriega and turning up the stereo to drown out the chants.
I trust she wasn’t playing rap music, in light of her crusade against profane lyrics. She would play all kinds of music and those nature sound CD’s, which were supposed to fool us into thinking we were in the rain forest instead of in a house under siege.
It’s a recurring theme. Here is a thread I posted a year ago with her making the same complaints.
Karenna Gore is still mad at you

Sounds like one of those cults.
I have seen Futurama, and I agree with her. She should claim credit for that kiss between Al and Tipper before his address at the 2000 Demo Convention. That was funny. Kinda disgusting, but funny.
Yea.. .and CNN said there were the same amount of people on each side. Bastards. They knew, and saw with their own eyes that there were about 20 people on the Gore side.
How do I articulate a spitting on CNN online?
I’d probably have as much in common with her as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad politically, but I always thought she was sort of cute.
Poor thing looks just like her dad.
roflmbo what a great picture; instantly stolen for da masses across the “internets”, thanks :-)
She looks a bit like the Borg hive queen to me.
My, at that time, 80 yr old dad “bussed” my brother and me in for an afternoon in his Lincoln TC, LOL.
Yuppers, with all the federally funded left wing groups and all the unions that bus in protestors for the Dems they just can't imagine that anything is done without top down planning. I also think that they can't imagine large numbers of people doing anything without getting paid for it. They all just line up at the gravy train and view elections as a fight for who controls the pie that is getting divied up.
Hmmmmm.....
Har..!

Have you been drinking adult beverages?
This makes no sense.
I stated that Gore got lost in the woods surrounding the Naval Observatory mansion assigned to vice-presidents and their families shortly after being sworn in.
You don't write Maya Angelou's material do you?
What mind? /:)
lol, your bad.
Oh, my God, Tipper GOre played nature sounds on a CD to drown out “the protestor’s chants”. You can’t make this stuff up, you just can’t. These folks are literally precious. I could always tell just how central the conceit was going to turn out to be , that the election was
“stolen” from them—it formed a new cornerstone for the ongoing (now) 7 years of Democrat Party spin. They’ll let go of it in about 50 years after they let go of the Rosenberg’s and Sacco and Vanzetti’s “innocence”, both thoroughly debunked, should anyone bother to pay any attention to reality.
