I think it's probably because but for her, there would be no Dee Snider Senate testimony. That there's comedy GOLD.

Former second lady Tipper Gore is urging her husband, Al, to challenge Hillary Clinton for the 2008 presidential nomination - in what may be a score-settling move against the woman Mrs. Gore has long regarded as "difficult" and overly ambitious.
"If he were going to run in the future, of course I would support him," Mrs. Gore told ABC News' Claire Shipman on Tuesday. "I think he'd be a fantastic president. He already got a majority of votes of people in this country once, and so that says something."
Relations between Mrs. Gore and the first lady-turned-presidential front-runner have never been good. In 2001, Vanity Fair magazine quoted aides to the two women who said they basically despised each other.
"Hillary thinks that Tipper is an unintellectual, nice lady who doesn't have a brain in her head," a Clinton aide claimed. "Tipper thinks Hillary's an ambitious, rather uncoordinated, grasping, difficult woman," a Gore insider countered.
The rift between Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Gore grew much worse after President Clinton admitted he carried on a White House affair with a 23-year-old intern.
"Tipper's people put out that she and the girls were appalled" and Mrs. Clinton never forgot it, a friend of the former first lady told the New York Times in October 2000.
The Times added:
"Even Mrs. Gore's normally tight-lipped spokeswoman, Camille Johnston, spoke disparagingly of Mrs. Clinton in a recent interview, comparing the two women while making a point about how little Mrs. Gore cares about her public image."
"With Mrs. Clinton, there was always such a concerted effort with image," Ms. Johnston said. "She went from housewife to cookie lady to whatever. Mrs. Gore hasn't done that, so it's easier. She hasn't had to turn into somebody else."
Mrs. Clinton returned the insult in November 2002, when she refused to endorse a second White House bid by Mr. Gore - despite the fact that he was the undisputed presidential front-runner at the time. Three weeks later, Gore stunned the political world by announcing his retirement from politics.
Mrs. Gore is now dismissing the myriad reports of bad blood between herself and Mrs. Clinton, telling ABC on Tuesday, "The whole thing reminds me of junior high school."
Asked, however, whether her husband might challenge Hillary in 2008, Tipper sounded less than certain that Mr. Gore's denials would hold, explaining cryptically, "He is saying he's not interested in running in '08."
Cankles v Cankles, ooh can't wait! Maybe for good measure they can get Lewinski to call the fight.
He's still a loser Tipper.
Popcorn, please.
And I would luv to see Algore trounce MRS BILL CLINTON and get the Rat nomination.
Then, of course, he must be crushed like a bug by, say, George Allen.
But that's all good. Then we might be rid of the Clinton menace forever.
He already got a majority of votes of people in this country once...
Which is exactly why the electoral college is GOOD. We can't let Mexifornia and New York elect our presidents.
All of this deserves a full "airing'". It's harmless and sure to be pointless and will evaporate to triviality in the hard light of day.
Some few will wake up to the silliness as the full realization of world wide terrorism continues to reveal its dreadfully fearful face.
Let the fun begin.
48.38% is not a majority.
So Hillary pushed Al past the Tipper Point??
Welcome to Thunderdome! But be prepared for the resulting massive antimatter explosion that will occur when the Gorebot's and Shrillary's egos come into contact.
Me too, but the fact is that Hillary Clinton is the Dem nominee. And she's campaigning right now. Gore just didn't get the fax, or was too bonkers to read it.
It's tempting to play the politics version of fantasy football with these people, but I think we need to keep our heads clear.
Run, Forrest, RUN!
We're not gonna take it and folks that were forced to appear in a Pee-Wee Herman movie are victims.
That's because they start running in '07!!
Difficult?
I was nmot sure what this meant, but a little research led me to believe that Mrs. Gore meant the following:
Lurch vs. Algore vs. Shrillery....I wouldn't miss those debates for anything.
LOL! Nice "Drive-by" article by NewsMax.
Shades of Howard Dean.
Hillary has got a bullseye on her back, and every dem is just going to tee off on her (see See Governor Richardson, Mark Warner, Evan Baye, John Kerry, Feingold, Phil Bredesen, the governor from Montanta, etc).
If she gets the nomination, she will be so smacked up and wrecked to pieces, it'll be impossible for her to have any kind of credibility with anyone......she also gets an automatic green party challenge, go figure that one out.
