Reply #19: Wasn't there once a candidate named Al Gore? [View All]

Didn't he get ripped on for his earth tones, and for his sighs, and for talking like the know-it-all teacher's pet?

Second, wasn't it widely said that he would "say anything" and "attack, attack, attack" in order to get elected.

Here's a quote from a book review of a book written by Alexander Cockburn

"On and on it goes. Al Gore is a man of political expediency. The man who famously "reinvented" government, has been constantly reinventing himself. The rap that Gore is a man who will say anything to get elected is verified time after time by the authors."

I wonder if Cockburn is happy with the Bush administration?

Third, yes it is amazing that there are so many more corporate lawyers who are women, but somehow still not the almost inevitable front-runner in this primary. She's aparently the only woman in America who is smart enough and ambitious enough to make a serious run at the Presidency. She did it all on her own and Bill Clinton had nothing to do with it. Also if you know somebody who wants oceanfront property in Kansas have them contact me.

Finally, I am sure it is only sexism that would lead some people to claim that voters who prefer a candidate that I do not are idiots. Thus the following must be an internet fiction:

"Britain’s tabloid Daily Mirror did its worst, leading with the headline “How can 59,054,097 people be so dumb?” (These are the number of people who voted for George W. Bush, not the Mirror sales figures.)"

Yes, MoDo has written some nasty things about Hillary, but I seem to remember columns she wrote consisting of imaginary conversations Gore had with his bald spot. And then after she helped elect him, she turned on the "Boy King". As Bartcop says "she hates everybody". That's a misanthrope, not a sexist.
