Gephardt = Rip Van Winkle --- Dick says get over 2000

<snip>
U.S. Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri didn't mention the recount in his address to the convention Saturday and appeared visibly uneasy when reporters later asked him about it -- prompting a grudging acknowledgement that Gore may have won and a demand that Democrats get over it.

''I'm not an expert, and I didn't study every ballot,'' Gephardt said. ``While I think it's unfortunate, we have to look to the future.''

What's wrong Gep, Ya too afraid to yell out, hell ya Gore won because it might upset those coward Right leaning Moderate Voters you're so despartely trying to woo? No wonder Deans Kicking your Ass

<snip>
The diverging approaches underscore a broader national debate within the party -- highlighted by the fast rise of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean to front-runner status -- over whether to excite the base with red-meat rhetoric or woo moderate swing voters who probably don't obsess about the 2000 election.

Dean makes the recount a staple of nearly every speech he delivers, including Saturday, when he declared, ``This time, the one with the most votes is going to win the White House.''

Understand this Dick! A huge amount of Democrats out there use 2000 as the Gasoline that ignites our fire and passion for 2004. How can you be so ignorant Dick in stating that Gore er..."may" have won! Damn Beltway politician!

I was doing a riff off of "They Live".

:evilgrin:

What is it about spending decades inside the beltway that makes your common sense disappear?

His euniched style may help his district when the Republicans throw him a bone now and again for his docile behavior, but it isn't helping the rest of us at all.

since Pelosi is now the minority leader.

It was worth listening to him drone on for a while.

MC Powder, missing the point again.

... so what if they stepped on the Constitution, civil rights, our democratic government, etc. ... suppose violence broke out? suppose bullets were exchanged? suppose tanks were on the streets of Miami? would that had been 'unfortunate', Dick?

... bloodless coups aren't any better .......

Dick, when the final history is written, the question will be asked: where was the House Dem leader during the debacle .... nice legacy, dude.

What kind of friggn' reply is:

''I'm not an expert, and I didn't study every ballot,'' Gephardt said.
