"Al Gore to Dick Cheney: 'I waited two years'
Politico ^ | May 15, 2009 | By ANDY BARR

Posted on 05/15/2009 11:38:30 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Al Gore said Friday that fellow former Vice President Dick Cheney has jumped back into the political fray too soon into the new administration’s term.

“I waited two years after I left office to make statements that were critical,” Gore said during an interview on CNN, pointing out that his critiques were focused on “policy.”

“Talk about somebody that shouldn't be talking about making the country less safe, invading a country that did not attack us and posed no serious threat to us at all,” Gore said of Cheney.

Gore identified Cheney as “the leading spokesman for his party” and said he suspects Cheney’s prominence is not welcomed by other Republicans

“I have a feeling that members of his own party wish that he would not do that,” Gore said. “But I'll let that be an argument between him and them.”

Despite the criticism, Gore claimed he does not “want to get dragged into an argument with Dick Cheney about what he's getting into.”

“I waited two years after I left office to make statements that were critical,”

Reap what you sowed, MORON....
If you’d kept your mouth SHUT, Cheney wouldn’t have had the precedent to open his.

What goes around, comes around.

So, al-Gore is admitting it took him two years to demonstrate his Patriotic Dissent.

Dick Cheney is Patriotically Dissenting right away.

Phrase it properly, Al:

People didn't want to hear from me for two years.

I seem to remember Gore making a scene in November and December 2000, right after the election. Did I dream that?

Billy Mays waited more than two years to sell the “Awesome Auger.”

Er, the same for “Oxy Clean” as well.

Yup. Sure did.

Pretty ironic thing to say, Al, considering Saddam tried to kill your former boss.

“I waited two years after I left office to make statements that were critical..."

Seems to me that the day after he lost the election, he was filing recount lawsuits.

Hey,algore...Mr Cheney is being accused of war crimes.The Attorney Corporal...you know,the guy who makes his hatred of whites crystal clear...is talking about criminal charges. The worst you were ever accused of was being a pompous,phony clown.

He couldn’t criticize the new president for two years because he was still busy insisting it was him.

Gore waited two years after dragging out the election fiasco like a spoiled brat.

But...

The 0bama administration wasted no time in blaming everything on the Bush administration.

And the Bush administration never blamed anything on Clinton/Gore.
