Presidential press secretary Scott McClellan today refused to acknowledge the fact that then-Vice President Al Gore led a Clinton administration program that potentially could have bugged every phone in the country, this after the Democrat hammered President Bush Monday for allowing wiretaps of suspected terrorists.
The "Clipper Chip" project would have placed a chip on new phones, allowing the federal government the means to eavesdrop.
"Isn't that worth pointing out to the American people, after [Gore] accused President Bush of breaking the law and violating the Constitution?" asked WND.
"I think you just did," responded McClellan. "This is an administration that is forward-looking, Les. We're focused on the priorities of the American people. … No, I'm not going to get into that."
WND also asked the spokesman about first lady Laura Bush's unusually strong denunciation of Hillary Clinton for comparing the way the Republicans control the House of Representatives to a plantation.
Asked WND: "Has she ever been as outspoken as this before, in your knowledge?"

We need some blood and Gore on the walls!
Gore really IS as stupid as he looks!
anybody else notice the similarity between 'Tipper' and 'Chipper'?....lol
No, I think it's worse than we could ever imagine.
The admin has an almost pathological inability to get its message accross. It makes the nation weaker. Very bad.
Al Gore: "The statute of limitations has expired."
Is anyone impressed with Scott McClellan?
(Or his mother?)
Check this link for NewsMax article about this "stunning" revelation. Searching Free Republic for nuggets such as that kind of puts a totally different spin onto that Geico Gecko commercial, eh?
<< Why the hell shouldn't he get into it?
We need some blood and Gore on the walls! >>
Gore always has been up the bloody wall.
And at one time was world's most dangerous dullard.
Recruited to be the vice-presidential running mate for the single cynical reason his sub-normality guaranteed the senate could never convict and/or bounce the fatally flawed, recidivist, lying, looting, thieving, mass-murdering, treasonous and impeached Billy-Bubba Blythe Cli'ton the Hell outta Dodge.
For Gawd's sake, man, don't hold back.
Tell us what you really think ! :)
Sometimes you need to step into the ring and sling some mud back at your opponent.
Bush thinks he is taking the higher ground here....after the MSM gets through with him, he may not feel this was the proper course.
ROFLOL! 75,000+ pages of hits on the topic.

yea, its been talked about ;-)
Its time some of these people get slapped back for their idiotic statements.
Bump

its not inability, they just do not want too.
Really, I think I would do the same, why justify this argument by answering it. It would make them appear small by participating but it would go no where in the Dem owned MSM.
