Hmmmm... Must be the left-wing's "new math". I didn't know that confidence percentages could drive negative.

I address this subject both in my column this week, and in the booklet about to be published, both referred to below.
Congressman Billybob
Not only was it plainly obvious in terms of dishonesty, but in terms of skillful political squirrelyness, it also rates near zero.
Top-grade about red meat in the hands of a skilled campaign strategist -- making it highly likely it will never be mentioned by the GOP again.
We got 12-13% of the public who are hard-core Democrats. That makes me feel good.
This little stab at the Bush administration will disappear quickly as it's source; Al - 'No Controlling Legal Authority' - Gore is totally discredited by virtue of his own sorry record of lying and cheating throughout his tenure as Vice President in the corrupt Clinton administration.
The Democrats belief that the corporate scandals are a ticket to victory this Novermnber is badly misplaced. George W. Bush is no Clinton, with his endless lies and smarmy legalisms that displayed a deep and real contempt for truth - and the intelligence of the American people. The Bush and Cheney stock sales are not Whitewater, much as Gore and his fellow Democrats are attempting to make them so. They are simple stock sales, the Bush/Harkin sale investigated and combed for irregularities many times by former political oppenents. Nothing there.
If the Dems could dig up a 25-year-old, expunged DWI conviction on Bush in 2000, they would have certainly have dug up any incriminating evidence of illegalities or rule violations connected to his 1990 Harkin stock sale by now.
Gore is a sore loser who isn't believed, for good reason. He's a liar and was the other half of a totally corrupt administration for eight years. This is why Gore is being abandoned, albeit quietly, by his own party as a 2004 presidential candidate.
Al Gore is an object of derision for many and when he attempts to favorably compare the Clinton administration with the Bush administration and calls the Bush White House what his administration really was - liars and frauds who wrere totally and almost gleefully corrupt in every area - the laughter is deafening in some quarters. Most people just walk away from him, shaking their head in disbelief. After all, isn't Al the guy that invented the internet? The guy who left the room to pee after drinking too much iced tea and missed the important stuff? The guy who found 'No controlling legal authority'? Yeah, that's him. Now tell us again about honestly, integrity and ethics, Al. We all need a good laugh.
In a related poll, 12 percent believed in the tooth fairy; 12 percent believed in little green men from Mars; and 12 percent believed what they saw on the evening news. < /sarcasm >
The Clinton Legacy.
I picture Al Gore spending the rest of his days doing a slow burn over the fact that if he'd just stood up on his hind legs and publicly declared that it was time for Clinton to go, he would have been easily elected as an incumbent.
In other news, 12 percent of the population believes that Elvis is alive, that they or someone they know has been abducted by space aliens, and that flat-earthism should be given equal time in the public schools.
And 20% had been kidnapped by space aliens and held on a space ship for months. (100% of the kidnapped women were of course impregnated by the little green men.)
Algore must have a really, really massive disconnect with reality. For half of the most corrupt administration in the history of the U.S. to imply that corruption has increased under Bush indicates virtual insanity.
Hmmmm... Must be the left-wing's "new math". I didn't know that confidence percentages could drive negative.
