Al Gore says he was terrorized by "busloads of people" organized by the Republican Party, protesting outside the vice presidential residence during the 2000 Florida presidential recount.

In an interview with Barbara Walters on ABC, Mr. Gore talked about the "the organized chanting round-the-clock," and said: "Well, this was the Republican response to what was happening during that 36-day period, and they organized busloads of people that came and stood outside the house all day and all night screaming at the top of their lungs."

"Dammit, Beavis, stop showing this crap!"

And we were not "bused in"--I drove down from NJ with my wife at my expense to protest at "his house"!!

Now of course, if he can deal with his rental property tenants down in Tennessee - you remember the ones with the stopped up toilets and such - he should be able to get over this...well...maybe some day.

Hmmm...I'm not sure he can get to the thousands of pets he would need to kill to do that...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

****The sad thing is that millions of people will watch them on ABC and believe the whole thing about the GOP busing people there to scream at him all day and all night *****

That part was apparently cut out of the broadcast.

Also, Gore RECENTLY said that he got on the phone and called off any attempt of the Dems to counter-rally. I remember reading way back that Gore stated that he tried to reach the head of the union who could not be located, and that he thought the union had deserted him in the hour of his need. Am I correct?

Gore was on crack at the time. He doesn't know what he did, since he didn't know what he was doing. The historical record is all here:

An Evening in December, 2000, A Bar Somewhere Near 34th & Massachusetts Avenue, Washington, D.C.

From the latest imaginations, sounds like the daughter was smokin' it, too.

JVB, great to hear from you!

You know what, f- Gore for this. He's whining that he felt oppressed.

Al, you overprivileged scum. Take your delusion elsewhere, because there are more than a few Freepers who were treated to a Clinton-Government inspection for having expressed themselves in public.

lol, this is great! I'm glad the hard work of the DC chapter is recognized! Look out, Jim -- next thing we know, daschle will be blaming you . . .

[cyn]

DC chapter and others: thanks for being there, thanks for keeping us all going.

Dadgum it, 'burghers, I guess we missed that charter bus to DC!

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

That was real warm and offstandish like! 2tontonytipper was really into---------AL?

not after he remarked about her collection of chins!!

[Badray]

Nobody could have said it better than you just did. I'm glad you are on our side.

[Badray]

"Dadgum it, 'burghers, I guess we missed that charter bus to DC!"

cyn, you really did miss the bus. I went one time and the GOP is still sending me checks. (Grinning and wishing.)

Of all the times that I did get to DC, I regret that I didn't make it to Cheney's house. At least we did our part here in the 'burgh.

[Jeff Gordon Fan]

I rember a sign that someone had made for us....
"No Buses needed we are here on on our own"

Cold saturday mornings standing on Grant Street in front of the the City/County Building.

Ahhh - the good old days.

[Saundra Duffy]

I wish I could have been there with my megaphone and one of my hard-hitting signs. For victory & freedom!!!

[cyn]

Yeah, too bad about that bus! Anyways, it sure was good to be with you all -- well met, well met!

[Badray]

Well met, indeed. Great time despite the weather and the reason for being there.

[angry elephant]

I don't know how Al thinks it promotes his image as someone who hopes to be a wartime president when he goes on constantly about what cowards he and his whole family are. After being attacked, America really needs someone who wants to hide under the bed and make it go away.

[timestax]

lyinAlGore is all ate up!!

[nicollo]

That's awful nice of you to say... I'm just glad to be here, hanging out on the right corner!
