There were no confuzzled seniors, but there was a sh#tload of people who voted for the fool and would be ready to do so again in a heartbeat. That’s what’s frightening.

Well, since you asked....my theory of Al Gore's present mental state:

Rumor hath it that when BJ went into sex-perjury, Tipper advised Al to resign. Her theory: if BJ wouldn't resign, Al should, to stake his claim on the moral high ground. However, Tipper (who was mighty attractive to BJ) had reckoned without BJ's personal charm. He actually talked Al into staying aboard. And supporting him 100%!

After BJ accomplished that mission, he dropped Al like the proverbial potato. BJ continually marginalized Al in favor of Hillary. That had to hurt.
BTW, Tipper and Hillary were and probably still are bitter enemies.

Had Al taken Tipper's advice and resigned, I think he could have been elected president for life.
BTW, the fact that 49%+ of the electorate thought this nutjob should be president, when even a cursory look at him in a photograph shows obvious signs of derangement, does not augur well for the future of the republic.

And, I actually think he'll run again!

I think even the Clinton’s know what a whack job Gore is. That photo of Elian Gonzales being hauled out by JBT was no accident.

In retrospect it was a little cuban boy that determined the outcome of the 2000 election. That ****ed off the FL cuban community and was the edge that gave GWB those electoral votes. If gore had stood up to bogus bill HE would have won cuban hearts = white house berth. But he’s a KLUTZ, what more can one say, and certainly not presidential material.

But I’m starting to wonder about GWB too, he’s been screwing up a lot lately : totally wrong on immigration : his JOB description is to protect from FOREIGN INVASIONS. Now it’s this sea treaty wherein he gives the UN sovereignty over all the world’s oceans! He’s blithely dancing on the edge of the impeachment pit. All it will take is a few angry republicans to push him over that edge.

Great piece by Harry Stein. I still read his book “How I Joined the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy...and Found Inner Peace” from time to time.

A great story of a former NYC lib turned reasonable.

regretting only that they lack “access to the same supplies of concentrated wealth” as those on the right.

What is Gore talking about? Does he realize how many hundreds of millions of dolalrs the left raised, mostly through 527's, in the 2004 election?

I was looking for some acknowledgement of his own excesses, a discussion of how the dynamics of modern campaigning can pull good people into the gutter, and an effort by Gore to meet his opponents fairly on the issues. Nope, nope, and nope.

Thank you for your review her. I just read Tom DeLay's book, and as partisan as DeLay is, he admits many faults without hesitation.

That’s because Tom DeLay is (1) intellectually honest and (2) confident that he’s right on the issues, the occasional error notwithstanding. I doubt that Gore could look in the mirror and make the same claims.

It was noted that Pat Buchanan received a huge number of Jewish votes, mostly in Florida districts with a lot of older retirees. I can just imagine Buchanan mumbling, 'what the h3ll?, where did I go wrong', when he saw that.

I think the Algore still hasn't figured out that the Clinton's shafted him.

And it does go to show that a cartel of sorts runs this country.

That The Assault on Reason has sold well is surely because Al Gore is now a name brand with whom a certain stripe of leftist is eager to identify.

Algore has become the Pat Buchanan of the left.

He has become a self-sustaining cottage industry, manufacturing books for his market.

It is perhaps significant that Algore enjoys a wider market on the left than Pat does on the right.

Not to mention that, occasionally, Pat makes a lot of sense...
