We rake Al Gore a lot around here but here's a reason that maybe we should have felt sorry for him.

Had Slick undergone what GW is about to, there is NO WAY he would have turned over power for a few minutes or hours to Al...Not with Hitlery standing by as co-president! No Sirree! Gore was no higher than a red headed stepchild in that administration where real power was bandied about.

At least he won't do it live on national TV.

That'd be incredibly tacky, huh Katie?

I am really tired of Presidential Polyp's, remember the colon of the month thing we had with Ronald Regan?

I'm sure he'll do just fine.

I would give anything to be Cheney for that time. How many ridiculous environmental executive orders could I roll back in one hour? How about announcing a veto threat or two?

Think of it, what could I do if I were president for only one hour...
