Gore being interviewed (on tape) by Leslie Stahl, announces he will not run for the 2004 democratic presidential nomination.

Those of you on the West coast, be sure to see the beginning when Bill Clinton is featured in a teaser for anothe story--the sore on his mouth is frightening!

I'm not sure why Rummy said oil was no factor, but what if it is? What's wrong with one factor in our policy regarding Iraq being the securing of our vital energy supply?

[Paul Atreides]

Funny, wasn't the Gulf War about oil, as well? It was all we heard.

[kristinn]

Yes. They should show it in full right after the game.

[Paul Atreides]

LOL! Remember Eddie Murphy imitating a swishy homosexual in Beverly Hills Cop? "Tell Victor that I went to the doctor and have Herpes Simplex #10. He might want to get himself checked out."

[Mo1]

Thanks ... so it's the Sore and the Loserman that's on huh??

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Right, and the snooty maitre d' suddenly backs down about denying Eddie access to the dining room, and says "maybe you better tell him yourself!"

[Badger1]

This was an historic moment: the end of Al Gore's political career

Dont bet on it. Gore will be back in '08. Nixon did it, so I bet Bore Gore thinks he can too.

[Paul Atreides]

LOL! It would be funny to pay a drag queen to do the same thing to Bubba, on one of his sore days.

[Wait4Truth]

You've got that right! This is only the beginning of the liberal media trying to undermine the Bush Administration. I was already disgusted watching them gush over the algore, saying he was not running because he had better, more interesting things to do...instead of the truth - that he would be demolished by Bush. It's going to get really ugly from now until 2004. I hope we get bin Laden, change the Middle East and regain a robust economy - oh, and no further attacks in America. The RATS are already out there saying if we get attacked again, Bush is toast. I'm not even sure that's true but the media is already going along with it. May God bless America and our President.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

It's possible, and Gore himself said "never say never", but he also said twice that he believed this would have been his last opportunity to run for President. I'm not a great historian, but other than Nixon, I can't think of many others who have come back and gotten the nomination after a defeat and a hiatus.

[Paul Atreides]

He'll give his book failure and negative numbers time to be forgotten. Also, look for him to turn into Jimmy Carter.

[swampfox98]

Gore offered some stuff about members of his party being worn out from his 2000 run.

Yeah, I was worn out by that too.

[BenLurkin]

Gore: ZZZZZZZZZZ'zzzzzzz

Clintoon: B-A-R-F

[Peach]

I didn't sleep well last night after watching Gore in that hot tub scene on SNL. We all knew last night he wouldn't be running - couldn't do it after such a undignified showing last night.

[Wait4Truth]

Good grief! Did you see clinton's face??? He looks horrible!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Now on to Clinton/Reynolds segment. They flash footage of Clinton as they talk about an event at which young people were given a chance to meet "role models."

[Paul Atreides]

I missed it! Please someone, get a pic up. I hope that Drudge puts one up.

[MJY1288]

We heard the same non-sense during the Gulf War in 1991. I don't doubt for one second that there are many oil companies chomping at the bit to be the first to negotiate oil deals with a democratic Iraq. But that hardly makes it are only focus on why Saddam has to go.

I feel that the Gulf War has never ended when one considers the fact that Saddam has violated each and every one of the conditions of surrender, Iraq has been launching SAMS at coalition aircraft for the past 11 years at God only knows what cost to our defense department and all of us tax payers. It's just took 8 years to get a President who had the balls to make the right decision and force Saddam into compliance or he will be history, And in the end Saddam Hussain will be history

[Wait4Truth]

Not only did he have a cold sore on his mouth, but he had absolutely horrible bags under his eyes. He just looked terrible - which is fine with me, of course. Hehehehe...

[Mo1]

Even the makeup couldn't cover it up
