He didn't really have to try not appearing smart, you don't have to try being what you are. Gore is devious and cunning, not smart.
This may be the funniest thing I have ever read on FR,and this dimwit is serious about it! At BEST,Goober is a idiot savant who has the gift of remembering words,but not neccessarliy knowning what they mean when strung together. He is the original political robot,who has been programed by his leftist mama since he was a puppy. He has never had a original thought in his entire life.
Why not just say" 'Here's my fucking résumé, what do you got?'
I can think of two reasons. The first one is that Goober doesn't know what the word "resume" means,and the second is that nobody who backs him really wants this to happen. It would only highlight what a idiot and liar he really is.
First, this guy's evidently under the comical illusion that Gore's resume is a show-stopper. It is, but for the wrong reason. Second, I'd be willing to bet that their "rerun" of the last election using "a few different plays than the Gore campaign did" will be much more successful than the Gore campaign's effort. Wonderful what you can do with writers to protect you from reality.
Sorry, I am laughing so hard I can't finish reading the article.
Maybe he does,but he has yet to show it,or even be in a position to show it. If he is a "Uber Hero" for showing up at the World's Series or the Olympics,so is everybody else who was there.
Then again,I realize that you are a Bush-Bot who thinks he is the second coming of Jesus.
These guys are not the smartest, are they?
STUFF IT UP YOUR NOSE, SORKIN.
The people in the "illusion" business are not the Bush Administeation. They are adults, dealing with real problems. The "illusion" business belongs to Sorkin and his "West Wing" program, presenting the fiction that lamebrained leftists are, or can be leaders, especially in a time of crisis.
Notice the Da-Rather denial, that the Times and CNN are "impartial sources of news."
I watched the "West Wing" only once, at someone else's house then it was on. (It is impolite in other people's homes, to ask them to change the channel.) Sorkin is merely a good magician, creating a "President" out of thin air and pretending that he is real.
Personally, I find it more rewarding to pay attention to the real President, and his real associates, who deal with real problems with truth and intelligence. Rummy comes to mind, but there are many others.
If Sorkin was jailed for drug use, with a condition that he would be released immediately if he told the truth on his TV show, he'd serve a life sentence. He doesn't have a clue what the truth is, and even if he did, he wouldn't dare present it. Getting blackballed at all of Streisand's parties, losing Martin Sheen (sniff), don't you know?

"I thought Albert Jr. was trying not to appear like a flaming poofter - unsuccessfully, I might add."
You have a point. Remember "the kiss" at the Rat convention and the truly nauseating cover photo (plus press hype) on Rolling Stone? They were two over-the-top PR efforts to counter algore's less-than-masculine body language and speech.
I leave you with this thought: The man assembled a stellar cast of foreign policy advisors whose first loyalty is to the United States. He hasn't flinched from doing what has needed to be done, and he hasn't played politics. I doubt one push-poll or focus group has been employed.
You see, "courage" can have different definitions depending on who you are. For a nation's leader who is beholden to the good will of the electorate, it is true "courage" to simply do what you say you're going to do, and d*** the naysayers, whether it comes from a pissant like you, or a pissant like Sorkin.
Don't worry about it. If Bubba-2 is reelected,he is sure to use the so-called Patriot Act to make any criticism of him illegal.
Mary Jo White. Now that she has successfully destroyed/compromised all the evidence against Bubbette!,Bubba-2 has safely retired her. She's a natural.
