Here's a post that I lifted off of DU. Man, those folks are stupid!

MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS!

I re-watched the epic film, "Gladiator", and I can't help but be reminded of how Gore's path to the White House mirrors Russell Crowe's Maximus' path back to Rome. After watching a piece of Gore's speech, I started chanting Maximus! to myself.

Today was Gore's first battle in the Gladiator arena. He came out swinging, and he slayed his opponent. Even more ironically, the advice that Oliver Reed's character gives to Maximus is appropriate for Gore: "Win the crowd, and you'll win your freedom!"

To Gore, win the people and you'll win the White House. Great job today.

ROFL I can't believe they seriously compared Gore to Maximus. If anything Gore should be the sniveling coward Commodus. Bush is Maximus. Bush already has already won the crowd.
