When Al Gore meets Al Franken

I'm good enough. I'm smart enough, and doggonit, people like me." That was Al Gore, in mock (or maybe not so mock) therapy on "Saturday Night Live" with a 12-step guru played by comedian Al Franken.

Who knew then that his recaptured confidence would one day make him a network television chief wannabe. He's trying to round up rich Democrats to establish a cable television network that Time magazine describes as a "liberal alternative" to conservative talk, radio and television.

Doggonit, if people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, why won't they like Al?

One wag suggests Al could save himself a lot of trouble by buying National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting System and changing management without having to change content. Taxpayers would continue to pay for the same old liberal point of view.

He'll fail. The Democrats are masters at spending other people's money, but hold tightly to their own.
