Reply #22: Because the lazy & incompetent air-heads in the media hate hard working

[Vitruvius]

types like Gore who get things done. I can't think of a single Gore-hating media type who has ever accomplished anything of substance.

In addition, at some level, they know they did wrong in sliming Gore in 2000, they know they helped wreck this country by helping install Bu$h. But they're too weak to face up to what they did -- or their venal and petty motives doing so. Better to keep sliming -- it sure beats admitting a mistake.

Finally, a lot of these presstitutes shot up the ladder in the corporate media by doing the GOP's bidding in trashing Clinton, then Gore. With Bu$h disintigrating, they're scared. And scared people who were promoted beyond their abilities and are afraid of someday losing it all tend to mindlessly keep doing what brought them success in the first place.

P.S: The limiting case of this syndrome was Bill Shockley -- the racist Nobel Prize winner. Shockley stole the credit for inventing the transistor from Ohl, Pfann (of the Pfann zone-refining process used to make semiconductors to this day), and Lilienfeld. Shockley slimed Lilienfeld for being a Jew, and slimed Ohl as (allegedly) being part Black (I have no idea whether he was or not, and do not care). Shockley slimed them all for the rest of his life -- partly to make himself feel good, partly out of fear. And the remnants and professional descendants of the Shockley gang were still sliming all three in the 1980s when I left Bell Labs. That's 40 years of slime.

Shockley was a world-class vicious creep -- like the Gore-hating presstitutes. And people like that slime the competent & decent forever & ever.

That's life.
