[null and void]

Except that while I didn't particularly like Gore, the leftists have an incontinent fear, loathing, hate and disgust with Cheney. They believed he was the ultimate evil behind the throne. Satan incarnate. The font from which all foul things flow.

Yet they couldn't quite put together the simple facts that he was VP, and the VP replaces the president.

Most of then anyway. After years of poking at them I started to see "Impeach Cheney, Then Bush" bumper stickers.

Ridicule will eventually penetrate even the thickest progressive skull.

Those are good points. Gore (unlike Cheney) had not really “outed” himself ideologically at the time he was veep.
