Who is Al Gore's Speech Coach?

[ml/nj]

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?

Wanna bet?

Is it me or does he seem to lisp more? I am seeing Gore getting more and more tv coverage as is that Christopher Reeve, who spooks me with all of the makeup they put on him.

Uh, Tom Hanks was a big supporter (and possibly, coach?)...

He just can't be that stupid, can he?

Stupid is as stupid does.

[My2Cents]

To the contrary. Al is "letting it rip"!

[Galtoid]

Drugs might explain it.

Now you know why the government schools, run by that auxiliary to the Democrat Party, the National Education Association, has become so successful at graduating ignorant and illiterate people from its system.

Too much ice tea....bladder is pressing on his brain stem.

Prime example...Private Screwls are not perfect.

My guess would be the Village People, LOL~

During the election it was reported that he was doing this to appeal to the homosexual crowd. I can't verify it but I remember reading it in 2000.

Time to put the goo on that bald spot and take a fetal photo, to see what's going on in there!!!

I like when Gore spoke in Kingfish/Sharpton voice to the NAACP. That's was the best!

(Can I get an "Amen?")

[Uncle Miltie]

As stupid as copious quantities of the weed made him.

[N. Theknow]

Al Gore invented Forrest Gump.

[Crusader Rabbit]

Don't forget that his core supporters are complete idiots. It would be impossible for them to understand him if he didn't speak really slowly.

Too bad his speech coach wasn't Hubert Humphrey.

[Capt_Hank]

He makes my hair hurt when I hear him speak and I'm bald. Good grief, hasn't anyone from his team informed him how silly he sounds? I was watching C-Span this morning and was shocked at the number of people who actually thought his speech was good. It's scarey out there!

Who is Al Gore's Speech Coach?

Mr. Rogers?

[uncbob]

Clinton was just as bad
If you heard him on the radio he was pathetic
