Mark Levin: Al Gore's Unresolved Issues

Letter to Al - Advice to the former vice president (another one).

Dear Al:

According to today's Washington Post, while campaigning yesterday on behalf of Maryland Democratic gubernatorial candidate Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, you "asked people whether they recalled where they were when the U.S. Supreme Court decided to discontinue counting ballots from the disputed Florida vote two years ago."

You asked rhetorically, "Are you over it?" The crowd shouted "no!" You then implored the audience to "use that feeling as a source of energy and drive and commitment. And if anyone tells you that one vote doesn't make a difference, send them to me."

Obviously, Al, you have some unresolved issues. Let's work through this together. Assume the lotus position, take a deep breath, and now begin chanting your personal mantra: "No controlling legal authority. No controlling legal authority. No controlling legal authority."

Now that you're relaxed, and your mind — such as it is — is clear, let's begin. The Florida election was not in dispute. You just refused to accept the outcome. No matter how many recounts have been taken, Al, you lost. Now, repeat after me: "I, Al Gore, am a loser. I have the personality of porch furniture and the political skills of the Marx Brothers."

O.K., very good Al. Now, you know that document called the United States Constitution, which you swore repeatedly to uphold? You were at least supposed to read it before ignoring it. And had you read it, you would come across the phrase — "the electoral college." These are the people we choose to elect our president and vice president. Obviously, they thought you were a loser, too. Even though you supposedly won the popular vote, you're required to receive a majority of the electoral-college vote. This is how you twice became vice president of the United States and, alas, in 2001, the night manager at Denny's restaurant in Memphis.

You should be careful about asking audiences if they're over the 2000 election. For many people, Al, there's not enough mouthwash in America to remove the bad taste you and your boss left behind.

Let this go, Al. All is not lost. In 30 years you, too, can run for the Senate from New Jersey. And after you meet your maker — Mattel — you can run for the Senate from Missouri.

Yours in gestalt,

Mark R. Levin

Dear Al, I remember that day very well. I was on a cold, wet street corner on the Plaza in KC with about 250 friends showing support for Dubya. When word came the counting had been stopped we all went nuts. And you had better believe we are drawing strength from the feelings we had at that moment. And we are not over what you and the Dims tried to do then and are trying to do this election.

When I close my eyes, and savor that moment, why do I think of pressed ham? I wonder. . . :o) fsf

How funny.

I dont know where I was but I felt that every moment I spent picketing his house at the Naval Observatory (in mostly cold, damp, sh...y weather was worth it. Hail to all the Freepers who were out there "Get outa Cheney's house - get outa Cheney's house". Anybody seen Karena (sp?) lately and how about 200 pound Momma Gore - it just doesnt get any better.

Yes, you Freepers at the Naval Observatory did a great job. It really injected some humor into the whole sad political situation. And the Democrats can survive just about anything but humor. It was a pivitol act. Good job! fsf

[jayadams]

It was a true labor of love!!!! That kind of spirit can't be lost with fiascos like New Jersey and Minnesota going on - the b......s will take your shirt off of you if you let them.

"No controlling legal authority"

It wasn't until today that it dawned on me, Gore and Clinton could be the best thing that could have happened to the 2002 elections. Hopefully they will remind people how much we don't want their leadership nor any of those endorsed by them.

We need a House and Senate landslide.

Good article!

[maica]

Ping for great writing.
Rush read this on the air "with expression." It was VERY funny!

I think Gore's biggest "unresolved issue" is directly related to that night he showed up for the first debate with Bush in 2000 wearing so much makeup that he looked like a transvestite.

[barker]

Actually I think more of cooked goose. ;-)
