I agree with you.

The thing is I sympathized with Sorkin when he said 'the thing that frustrated me is when Gore was trying so hard not to act smart in the debates'. No matter what you think of the man, him and bubba are incredibly intelligent and Gore holding back how smart he was is a disgrace to all of those who pride themselves on there intelligence.

Bush got better grades than Gore in college.

Did you forget to close your sarcasm tags? 'Cause I gotta tell ya, I got appliances smarter than OwlGore.

"him and bubba are incredibly intelligent and Gore holding back how smart he was "

The biggest problem I have with Gore being so intelligent, is that he actually isn't.

I didn't interpret it as Gore trying to hold back his intelligence. I interpreted it as Gore trying to hold back his "I know best" schoolmarmishness. There's a difference.

This is a joke, right?

I guess you think the trailer trash queen is the smartest woman in the world. Being female, I hate having to be dumber than a brick!

HUH? Clinton, for all his many faults, really is highly intelligent, though lacking in wisdom. But GORE? INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT? On what possible basis could you claim that?

[henbane]

For these two losers, "intelligence" is some kind of illegal chemical substance that they aspirate down their windpipe.

It rips up their heads with strange power dreams that usually lead them into big, big trouble.

AARON SORKIN SAYS HE'S USED COCAINE, MARIJUANA BEFORE HIS APRIL ARREST

"Sorkin, who had been treated for a cocaine habit in 1995, was arrested April 15 at Burbank Airport after marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms and rock cocaine were found in his bag.

"The writer's friends and colleagues publicly expressed confidence that he was clean and called the arrest an aberration, but they were being guided by what Sorkin had told them, according to the magazine.

"He pleaded guilty in June to a misdemeanour and two felony counts, and was allowed to enter a drug treatment program instead of serving prison time.

"In an interview in the upcoming issue of TV Guide, Sorkin said he smoked crack cocaine daily while writing the 1995 movie The American President.

"That is why it took me three years to write the script," he said. He entered Minnesota's Hazelden Institute at the urging of friends, including Rob Reiner, director of The American President.

[jonboy]

Ahh yes, the intellect of Al Gore. He must have to work hard to hold it back.




What's that old saying, "Stupid is as stupid does?" Who brought it to us? Oh, yes, Forest Gore.

[goodnesswins]

"there" intelligence? Whose intelligence?

[meyer]

...and Gore holding back how smart he was is a disgrace to all of those who pride themselves on there intelligence.

Perhaps you meant to write their intelligence.

Of course, its irrelevent anyway since Gore's IQ isn't all that great. It doesn't take much upstairs to fool the average democrat voter.

[Chapita]

Hitler was intelligent! Stalin was intelligent or he wouldn't have survived in that position. Mao was no fool!

So what is your point?

[vaudine]

What a crock of bs! Gore undoubtedly has native intelligence, but he doesn't have walking around, gumchewing shoe tieing common sense or analytical sense. This statement is so disingenuous it is a daydream of Sorkins. Gore did not hold back--he played roles-he does NOT know who he is! At least GWB knows who he is. The reason Bush won the debates was that he came across as REAL.

Bush has a great deal of intelligence--dummies can't fly jets or get MBA's from Harvard. Incidentally, he made better grades than Gore!Gore dropped out of school twice, I believe. Did he ever finish a degree, and if so where? Anybody.

Sorkins attitude is why I cannot watch West Wing--Martin Sheen and probably the entire crew have the same sneering, anti-conservative attitude.

Fellow Freepers, WHY do people these idiots are sneering at watch their freaking show? People like us, as well as liberals, are contributing to its success. Could we stop it and help their ratings go down the tube?

No -- a disgrace is you coming on this website pretending to be a conservative and talking about how smart Gore was which is a lie!

[blam]

"No matter what you think of the man, him and bubba are incredibly intelligent and Gore holding back how smart he was is a disgrace to all of those who pride themselves on there intelligence."

You must be intellectually exhausted after that statement, huh?

[merry10]

Maybe you are doing the sarcasm thing, but if you're priding yourself on your intelligence, learn to use English correctly. It's HE and BUBBA, not him and Bubba.

[boltfromblue]

You don't really believe he held his intelligence back do you? It must have been a strain doing that all his life, as far as I remember it.

[N. Theknow]

...those who pride themselves on there intelligence.

Al Gore could have done wrote this even betterer.

Their = possessive, as in "The Sorkins of the world are not in their right minds.

They're = Contraction of "they are", as in "They're a bunch of loonie democraps."

There = over yonder, as in "They're so far left, their minds are way over there."

Are you and bubba pride yourself on spelling and grammar?
