Thrust and parry: Gore gears up for Bush–again
U.S. News ^ | Saturday, September 8, 2001 | Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Posted on 09/08/2001 2:24:06 PM PDT by Jean S

Al Gore is back. We just don't know for how long. Associates tell Whispers that the newly bearded and dieting ex-veep is test-driving a sharp-tongued attack on President Bush in small gatherings. "Issues he is focusing on are Bush's economic stewardship, foreign policy, and the environment. He has been both sharp and sharp-tongued," a friend tells us. So far he's trotted the speech before backers in San Francisco, D.C., New York, and Minneapolis. And he likes the reaction. Gore plans to go public with his assault September 28 at Iowa's Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner. Fans are hailing it as his official coming-out party. In fact, the "Iowans for Gore Caucus Team" is sending out E-mails asking old Gore hands to fly in, show the flag, and enjoy a "weekend of fun." No mention of Al doing the Macarena. But, hey, don't get ahead of yourself: We're warned that Gore still isn't ready to commit to a presidential bid in 2004. In fact, a pal says that while Gore really, really dislikes Bush, he hasn't made up his mind about fighting other Dems for a second chance to run against his archenemy. "First," says a friend, "we have to see if anyone wants him to run."

He has been both sharp and sharp-tongued.

Sharper the better, albore. You can't carry it off--we know that from last time. But you sure as hell CAN look like a meanspirited sonovabitch, and that's gonna sink like a rock against GW after four years of honesty, leadership, integrity and dignity.

Plus, the economy will be on the mend and the bulls coming out on Wall Street.

That's the hurdle he'll never get over. No way are the dems going to go for that.  They have plenty of rocks to turn over to find someone else.

Reminds me of the old Warner Brothers cartoon with Daffy Duck as Robin Hood, wielding the quarterstaff...

“Ho! Ha ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust! [THWACK!!!]”
