Gore was the senior senator from Tennessee during the nearly 5 years I lived in that state, and it was fairly common to hear stories of his elitist snobbery, his regular demeaning of those who faithfully served him. To be sure, the stories out of Little Rock during the same time frame about the shrew who was that state’s First Lady were worse, her attitude toward “underlings” far more derisive. And now, they might both be running for President. How delightful.

Also, isn’t it ironic that his mom is the Matron saint of rock-n-roll lyrical do-goodery and she should really be policing here own family’s values. Typical *Do as we say, not as we do* dumocrat.

While Al Gore was standing in front of TV cameras successfully convincing the American public that he was trying to get a recount in the entire state, his Attorney was arguing before the Supreme Court for a recount of only carefully selected ballots in heavily Democratic precincts.

BOIES: “And what is contested are simply those ballots that during the protest phase have been identified as disputed ballots, so that the protest phase solves 99 percent of the election or more.”

Bush won in the Supreme Court where facts count and Gore won in public opinion where style counts. The country is still suffering from the consequences of the results of that public debate and the ongoing drumbeat that “Bush lies”.

Yup, you called it. My parents would have been ecstatic and proud beyond belief if I had landed a job as a secret service agent. I guess Al wants his son to be a rock star putting out huge carbon emissions while he preaches to us about climate change. His son already looks and acts the part, just needs a modicum of music talent now

It seems to me that AlGore From The Planet Eco MK II is a “chip off the old block(head)”- if the blockhead happens to be named Bill.

Stupid consistence, or consistent stupidity?

You tell me.

cheers

eon

We saw exactly the same sentiment from Kerry with his “study hard or end up in Iraq” statement.

I honestly wonder sometimes exactly what planet people like this goof from Hype Park think they are on.

We cherish people that add nothing to society like, Actors, Musicians, Minstrels, Lawyers, media figures, etc.

When we should celebrate the noble professions: Butchers, Baker, Carpenters, Farmers, Tailors , Tinkers, Teachers, Firemen and Police.

The latter are necessary the former are not.
oops

The detective recalls the agent saying that he was outside a room where Gore was loudly berating Al 3rd for something to do with school. The agent then overheard the senior Gore say to his son something truly stunning.

“What, do you want to end up like those guys standing outside the door?”

The guys being the agent and his partners, highly trained and intensely dedicated individuals who remain ever-ready to take a bullet for whomever they are assigned to protect.

You would think that such selfless and motivated people would be perfect role models for a teenager having a little trouble staying on track.

You have to wonder if the son might have turned out differently if the father had asked the agent to take his boy under his wing.

“Now [the senior Gore] is probably wishing his son did end up like those guys outside his door,” the detective said yesterday.

Can you say attachment disorder?

“With a movie and a book, Gore has made himself the Big Guy on this issue. He was on ‘Larry King’ last year, talking about the climate crisis, making complete sense and reminding you what his arrogance cost everybody when he lost that election.”

You know, not that I’m surprised, but anyone else notice how the piece still managed to crown Gore a saint by the end?

If I’d been the agent overhearing Gore say that, I’d have walked in, and politely told him that he could find some other “loser” to protect him.

What an unspeakable arrogant *expletive*.

For all of Gore’s later fascination with science and technology, he often struggled academically in those subjects with the truth.

“What, do you want to end up like those guys standing outside the door?”

Well, now we know who taught John Kerry how to tell a joke.

Still does.

do you want to end up like those guys standing outside the door?”

Somehow I think it would be much better than ending up a bloated laughing stock (the father) or a drug addicted ne’re-do-well (the son). What a couple of freakin’ losers.

From inventing the internet, his hypocritical environmentalism, and not being able to identify a bust of George Washington while touring Monticello, not one of our nation’s finest should be placed in harm’s way to defend this idiot.
