Since this was a what-if scenario (we could never know how Gore would've handled it) I think I had some license to generalize.

I will grant you that license, but if you can not see the character differences between President Bush and Gore then I would recommend you get a new set of glasses.

If nothing else, I doubt that President Bush would ever have defended a man against a charge of rape by saying, effectively, "It doesn't really matter if he did rape her. He's done so much other good and he should be judged by that, not some 20 year old rape."

Shalom.

Oh I see them alright but not from your perspective.
President Gore is not an unelected, ne'er do well, 3rd generation member of a crime family.
See I told you that if you kept poking you were going to get a fight

You see, unlike W, poor Al didn't have all of the privlidges of belonging to a crime family like...

• a grandfather and great-grandfather that were NAZI collaborators
• a father that was a TRAITOR to his country
• an Uncle working with the Chinese Communists
• a brother that stole billions from a savings and loan
• a brother that stole a national election

  Al can construct a coherent sentence (which is why he's allowed to answer unscripted questions).
  Al showed up for all of his military service.
  Al's never been arrested once for a DUI (much less multiple times).

  So before you try to play that character card you need to remember the adage about people who live in glass houses....

OK, I gave you attribution for all my Bush Crime Family charges. Now send me your attribution for this quote (and I use the term loosely) of Gore's.
Time to put up or shut up....

I told you not to pick a fight
