Today, while I was listening to Rush play tapes of Al Gore's speech yesterday, I started wondering if Al Gore really always spoke like Forest Gump. Really! If you listen, it sounds like he has to rest in between syllables whenever he uses a word with more than two syllables.
I cannot recall how Gore sounded back in the 80's e.g., but this is a guy who grew up in Washington DC, and then went to Harvard. His father was a Senator. I don't really recall Gore Sr., but my guess is that he went along with the prevailing wisdom that a politician should sound educated. If he thought his son had any sort of speech problem, I'm sure he would have gotten a coach for Al Jr.
And the DNC? Didn't they pay big bucks to some babe to advise Gore Jr. on how to dress. I'm sure they also provided him with a speech coach, and he probably still has one.
All of this lead me to the conclusion the Gore is intentionally trying to sound like Forest (but he either forgot, and just cannot duplicate, the down home wisdom). The question is: why?
My own guess is that the Democrats think they can win elections if they lock up 90% of the voters with below average intelligence, and Gore thinks that the Gump routine is his path to those voters. He just can't be that stupid, can he?

I think Gore is dumber than he lets on. Look at some of his unscripted moments, like failing to recognize a bust of Jefferson. Or his interpretation of the American motto, "e pluribus unum". For Algore, that was, "out of one, many". Or his famous, and staged, photo of him practicing safe weapons handling with his M-16. All of those were unscripted Gore moments.
He's the son of a wealthy and corrupt senator, and was told from day one that his destiny was to be President. The Gores have hired a lot of flunkies to tell him all the time how smart he is, and try to coach him for public appearances. In reality, he really is as dumb as a box of rocks. All the signs are there.

provide a link for this hilarious monalogue of Gore's. I heard a bit of it, it was so funny.

The man who would be king displays a wrong example of gun safety.
He's a failed presidential candidate who was the namesake son of a failed presidential also-ran (pappa Albert Gore Senior ran for the Rat ticket but lost out and his fellow Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver got the VP nomination secure his lockout).
