While former Vice President Al Gore and Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, Connecticut Democrat, express only admiration for each other, "behind the scenes there is sniping between advisers to the two," the New York Times reports.

Mr. Lieberman appears ready to run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004, but he has vowed to step aside if Mr. Gore should decide to seek a rematch with President Bush. Mr. Lieberman was Mr. Gore's running mate in 2000.

Mr. Gore resisted entreaties from the Democratic state chairman, Bob Poe, to make a triumphal appearance on stage with Mr. Lieberman,

A "triumphal" appearance? Gawd, the sheer stupidity just makes me laugh uncontrollably. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, our triumphal losers..."

The spirit of 'Dingle-Norwood' lives on.

"Mr. Lieberman's advisers, in turn, have not been particularly complimentary of Mr. Gore. After Mr. Gore's well-received speech in Orlando, one top Lieberman adviser asked a reporter whether he thought it strange that the speech, unlike Mr. Lieberman's, had made no mention of the Middle East."

Could it be that Lieberman, orthodox Jew, knows that Gore would be a pali appeaser, like Clinton? Would Lieberman rather see Bush in the Whitehouse, than Gore? If the truth were known, I wouldn't bet against that.
