A terrible banality is born. Again.
The rollout of the new, putatively 2004, model Gore is now well underway, with the usual sort of campaign that has included the usual sort of interviews that are, in the context of politics, "revealing," and the publication of the usual sort of book that is, in the same relative terms, "serious."
What will attract the most immediate attention about the new Al Gore are the "revealing" parts. To sum up, Gore still thinks he was robbed in 2000, in the unpleasantness his wife, Tipper, likes to call "when we won but the Supreme Court decided we couldn't serve." He is still magnanimous to himself in defeat, still much given to giving himself much credit for, sort of, accepting reality.

Al Gore, King of Panders....
The frightening thing is that he very nearly acquired power. As imperfect as Dubya is, he's about 1000 times more qualified that Gore to hold the Presidency.
Where Bush has core beliefs and principles Gore has polling data. Where Bush is skilled at interpersonal relationships and surrounds himself with the best and brightest Gore is a robotic actor who surrounds himself with political hacks and racebaiters.
Bush has risen to the occasion and Gore has fallen and can't get up. Bush stands center stage and Gore is a sideshow attraction in a party of geeks, freaks, and pinheads.
I just hope Gore keeps behaving the way he's behaving. Even the Kool-Aid drinkers must be starting to see through his goofy act....
I'm not shocked at an attack on Gore, or his bumbling tactics, but this is ana attack on old-school/new-school liberalism, wrapped in an attack on Gore.
Which one? And will it have a Lincolnesque beard?
We don't got no TV....
Well, well, well... Are you sure you have it all off your chest? It seems you were holding back on us. Please continue!
... and i agree with every word you wrote ... and the others you didn't...
Congratulations. Got rid of mine about 5 years ago. Called the cable company and told them to disconnect me. They couldn't believe it. Threw my remote in the lake. One of the best decisions I ever made. My only regret is... if I had it to do over again, I would have thrown the remote like a frisbee instead of like a football (less wind resistance). You can get a lot more distance that way.
Hehehehe.... I came home one day to find my TV in the garbage can. My wife got mad and just decided to toss it out. I bought another one, but she threw that one away, too. As the head of the household I refuse to let her near my computer....;O)
As dismissive as the Nod. Love it.
