President Al Gore would have handled 9/11 in a different way. I can just see him, " My fellow Americans what happened at the WTC shall not stand. I have instucted the FBI to work closely with the NYPD to see who is responsible and the Justice Dept. will sue their ass off once we know who they are. Of, course none of them are still alive so, I mean, we will sue their families or somebody"

Oh NO, You have it all wrong.... Here is how Al Gore would have handled it

"My Fellow Americans.... Tonight we have suffered an attack on our country that has been coming to us for a long time now. We have enjoyed the fruits of our labor while ignoring the suffering of those less fortunate than most of us. Our ignorance to the suffering of those under the thumb of our greedy corperations, and now it has come back to bite us.

I want every American to know that my Administration will thoroughly investigate why we as a Nation were not made aware of why they hate us!

Once the investigation is complete I promise all of you that America will apologize to all involved and we will do all we can, and make every effort to understand why they hate us.

Please be patient as my Administration finds a way to blame America first"

No, President Gore would have said something like this on 09/12/2001:

"My fellow Americans, we have suffered a terrible attack. The death toll is in the thousands. Grieving families will need all our support. We're tired. We're faltering. We're failing. I can feel it in the air. Therefore, I have ordered the United States military to airlift ten million Prozac tablets to the cities of New York, Washington DC, and that town in Pennsylvania. The First Lady will take the lead on this issue [big, sloppy kiss]."

"My leadership on this issue won't stop there. We must find out why these people who attacked us, and I said 'people' since we are all human beings, hate us so much. On my orders, my administration is declaring a two week period of national self-examination and introspection to determine what we did to provoke the attacks. As part of my overall military response, bases across the United States will begin constructing a quilt that will stretch across the continent. In this way, those people overseas will realize that we are truly sorry for our actions in the past - a form of reparations."

"These actions will not be without cost and will require personal sacrifice, especially from the very wealthy. The IRS, tomorrow, will retroactively raise the marginal tax rate for those making over $62,000 per year to 75%. Senate Majority leader Hillary Clinton will take the lead on this initiative."

"Finally, because of the threat of retaliation on Muslims here in America by Christian-Americans, I've ordered our three carrier battle groups to be moved from their forward positions in the Mediterranian Sea and Indian Ocean to positions offshore of New York City and Washington DC. This show of force will protect our multicultural heritage from those who seek to do it harm."

"Until the airdrops of Prozac begin, go out and seek practitioners of your Faith Tradition for comfort in these trying times. Thank you."
