Al Gore has been a total lunkhead...

[Beaker]

starting from the day he chose Joe Lieberman as his running mate, thereby losing the sElection, IMHO(and yes, he Lost- don't give me any bullshit about how he won...he didn't. the "Winner" is the one that takes the oath of office on Inauguration Day, and that weren't Al.)

watching Holy Joe on one of the sunday-morning talkies, I couldn't help but get a little more miffed at Al- he was the one who gave Lieberman his "national prominence", and even a hint of legitimacy as an actual contender for the nomination this time around, thanks to Al's folly in 2000.

thankfully, as it turned out, Al Gore used the Florida election debacle to prove to everyone that he was no fighter- unable to stand up for himself, let alone the voters who tried to put him into office.
And after proving that he didn't have the necessary huevos for the top job, this year he proved yet again that he still lacks the class and political common sense for the job as well, by announcing his endorsement of Howard Dean for Democratic Pesidential Nominee, months before the first primary...When timmy russert asked Wesley Clark today on MTP if he would like to have Clinton's endorsement, The General correctly stated that such an endorsement should/would have to wait until such time as the nomination has been won.

1. What should he have done after the Supreme Court ruled?

And what Democrats were trying to prevent him from even going that far? I'm not sure I agree with your portrayal...

4. is that supposed to be some sort of accusation?

5. What was Gore thinking?

I can't believe that after two years of Bush destroying the middle and working class and transferring wealthy up the increasingly steep pyramid, Gore thought he'd test the waters for the presidency by writing not one but two insipid books on families, or some such nonesense.

Had he written a book about how Bush is ripping off the middle and working class, and using the notion of family and religion and sexuality to compartmentalize and balkanize nascent liberalizing influences, then I might think about voting for him.

Does this guy have any idea of where to look for America's pulse?

6. Whew! Sure am glad to see Beaker has a copyright on what is CORRECT.

When are you planning to run for office by the way?

You be sure to let us know, you hear?

We need more people in office that think they know everything!
