3. Already?
Is this one of those "do-the-interview"-first shows or is it already the second segment?

5. First segment was equating Dems to repukes on "cut & run" wordsmithing
I am pissed at JS for it.

7. I dont think he was equating it...
I think they were pointing out the absurdity of the bumper sticker slogans. Quite frankly, Kerry's was dumb.

15. He equated the two sides re: the debate
Edited on Wed Jun-28-06 10:21 PM by Mika
The two sides speeches during the debate were night and day. The Daily Show equated them and did just what the fair and balanced MSM did/does - reduced both sides to bumper sticker slogans.

8. Man he looks great!
Not being President has saved him the ten years of aging for every term that Presidents serve.

18. But that is the BS.
The truth is that the NYT studied FLA and in a general recount Gore wins. Jon is not there yet. He needs to read the article.

21. My take on that was
that Jon was just telling a joke and anyway Al set him straight when he said, "I think I carried Florida"!

36. these : : , yes the colon!! so do this :hi: in the message and then it
becomes :hi:
or try bounce or woohoo ;)
it doesn;t work in the subject line, only the message part.
the only ones you don't need a colon for are standard smilies like :* and :P
you can see how to type them next to the images in the smilies look up.

14. Al Gore's natural dignity is so refreshing. He truly is a great man.
What a contrast to the childish and improper behavior of *.

Clever exchange by Stewart and Gore about Florida.

25. DAMN! I forgot all about it! (how the FUCK did that happen?)
I went to see Superman, and then got a call from friends to meet up for coffee, completely forgetting about dear old Al! WTF?!?!?!

I've seen EVERY TV appearance he's done so far!

Now I have to stay up til 12 to see the repeat, even though I have an interview at 8am (don't worry, it's a seven-minute walk from my house to the interview).

29. As Johnny Cash once said,
"I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, but is there because he's a victim of the times."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Cash

I think Al Gore's choice of black attire is appropriate given the circumstances.

32. oh me too ...
I meant that as an honorable title for him, not to degrade the way he was dressed. He has a message that needs to be heard.
