"An August 2001 Daily Intelligence Briefing warns, "Bin Ladin [sic] Determined to Strike in the U.S.," which prompts the president to authorize the strategic bombing of targets in the Khost province of Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border."

By Jan 2011 Obama will be a lame duck and Newsweak will be all but through. Praise the Lord!
For those of you too sober to read it (I, alas, am not): the piece is a Liberal Wet Dream: 9/11 never happens and Hurricane Katrina results in minimal damage. No, really.

pronounced: rack off?
No. It's not. It's THE WORST article of all time.
I want my five minutes back!
How close did we get to having the Goracle in office? He would have gotten enough electoral votes if he had won ONE state, a state he was quite familiar with:
Tennessee, his home state. The guy couldn’t win his home state?

Final results
Bush 271
Gore 266
Tennessee has 11 electoral votes. If...
Bush 260
Gore 277
The county by county map. Note that what looks like
Memphis and Nashville went Gore (blue) but a lot of the state went Bush. Bush even won some counties in NH, VT,
and ME and quite a bit of NY

gore has always been a true example of there being no intelligent life in the domocrat party
You're 5 times more patient than I.
I gave up after a minute!
and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.
Prince Albert would have pushed the Doomsday Button after 9/11 in an effort to prove to Naiomi Wolf that he is an alpha-male.
I can’t believe the libtards are STILL whining about the 2000 election! You lost. The only unfortunate part is now the SCOTUS is too timid to remove the usurper muzzie that is driving this Country to ruin.
Newsweek’s wet dream. They just can’t let it go that Bush won fairly and squarely 9 years ago!
Folks I know from TN said they never heard of him.
Gore would have been President if he had denounced Clinton before and during the impeachment proceedings. Clinton surely would have been impeached. As Veep he’d have succeeded the impeached Clinton and even might have been elected on his own in the next election since he would be holding the very powerful position of President to campaign from.
If @$$holes could fly, the Newsweek office building would be an airport.
America in 2016 if Obama is re-elected...a copy of East Germany.
He didn't win our state for a simple reason. A majority of the residents finally figured out his "I'm a moderate/Conservative" schtick was a load of bullcrap. It was a referendum on him just as it was for his father 30 years earlier, and he was finally defeated. He hasn't attempted to try to run for office in TN again because he knows he couldn't win.
On or about noon on 9/11 the collective thoughts of all real Americans included the phrase “Thank God Algore is not president!”. Who would he have blamed if he was?
It’d be more interesting to ask “If Kerry won.” Sure, it would have been unpleasant (for example, the two replaced justices), but the Reps would likely have kept the Congress in 2006 and the terrible actions of the Democrat Congress that led to meltdown wouldn’t have happened. Plus, the Kenyan would have gone on being an obscure figure, since the Dems wouldn’t have denied Kerry a second term bid. And, as horrible as he is, Kerry couldn’t come close to being as bad as Obama. Even if you disagree with that, if my belief that we would have kept Congress is true, we would have had a mechanism to oppose him that we don’t have with this guy.
