Hey Al, don't look now, but all of this garbage was happening on your watch.

[BigWaveBetty]

What nerve this slug has!!!! This has got to be a joke not even algore can be this stupid, can he? He really believes we'
re (the American people) going to swallow this horse hockey?!

[kcvl]

I hope Gore keeps talking about Pitts. lol! After his interview with Neil Cavuto on Thursday I doubt Pitts will take the blame for the Clinton/Gore years.

[blackbag]

that bastard has no shame.

[Elle Bee]

Al who???

[Deb]

Oh! Too Bad! Another swing and a miss!!

Sorry Democrats...you lose again!

[M. T. Cicero II]

That's absolutely correct! This is a good strategy for Bush, to point out the legacy of corruption which he inherited.

[dennisw]

When has this nitwit even worked an honest day in his life? Done work in the private sector? This idiot son of privilege has done jack his entire life except to strut and posture like the other hacks who make Wash DC the mess it is. Sucking up tax dollars and then miserly doling them back out to us with strings attached and minus 50% overheard that goes to the parasitical, do nothing bureaucrats.

[Hemlock]

Gore forgot to take his meds again.

Not only is Al Gore Bashing Bush...there is a "registered Republican" posting on my local paper and daily, he takes the opportunity to bash Bush.

<sarcasm> Geez, if the Republicans are starting to bash the President...maybe something IS wrong with his policies.</sarcasm>

Story:Dow drops below 9,000
Comment: Yep...and the sheep out there will continue to support him and will probably re-elect him. Rising crime, rising unemployment, rising drug costs for our seniors at 3 times the rate of inflation.

By all means, continue supporting the Bushies. Amazing how people blindly support this man. And believe it or not, I'm a registered Republican.

"There was a fascinating story by John Crudele in the New York Post on Tuesday that really put the tax cut in perspective. "Washington complains about deceptive corporate accounting. But the government last year misplaced an incredible $17.3 billion because of shoddy bookkeeping or worse. Let me put that into numbers so you can fully appreciate the amount. It's $17,300,000,000 - the price of a few dozen urban renewal projects, a nice size fleet of warships or about half the tax cut that everyone made such a fuss about last summer. Disappeared. Gone. Nowhere to be found."

So the Democrats want everyone to believe that the tax cut caused the recession - which it didn't - and caused all kinds of calamity out there with social programs and Social Security and Medicare. But now we come to find out that the government can't account for $17.3 billion. It's such an insignificant amount of money compared to the whole U.S. budget of two trillion, but it's significant as far as the tax cut goes. In fact, it's half the amount of the tax cut!

Here's Washington, these holier-than-thou members of Congress, complaining about accounting practices in the private sector and how, "We have to do something!" And in certain circumstances they're right. But it's sort of like, "Hey, get your own house in order before you start telling other people how to do it right."

If they were investigating Enron, they'd be calling people up, demanding they testify about what happened to the people's money and whose back pocket it went into. They'd be looking for all kinds of corruption and crime. But when they, our great and loyal members of Congress, can't come up with $17.3 billion because it's just lost it? "Eh, cost of doing business." It's just amazing. " from Rush on the subject...

"The total fraud amounted to $6 billion. That's $6,000,000,000, and nobody went to jail there. The department couldn't account for any of an $800 million Stafford College loan made to a single student! They issued $123 million in duplicate payments of grants. We ran a story recently where the Congress admitted to misplacing an additional $17.3 billion worth of our money in a year. These are just two examples of gross mismanagement!"

Want more examples of WorldCom-like behavior? Take this January 13th, 2000 press release from Congressman John Kasich's office. It reads, "The federal government wastes more than $19 billion annually in improper payments in a wide variety of programs." There was $1.8 billion in waste to the federal employees health benefits plan. Remember those 40 million uninsured Americans supposedly out there?

Why is Dick Gephardt always griping instead of going after this fraud? Now, I know I'm whistling Dixie here. People are not going to get outraged over this $19.1 billion in fraud in things like Medicare and Food Stamps. They're going to freak over WorldCom. But fraud is fraud, folks. WorldCom screwed a few of us, but if they should pay for that - and they should - then the government should pay for screwing all of us, shouldn't it?" Quote from Rush.

The man is delusional.

[joonbug]

Yawn...

"The total fraud amounted to $6 billion. That's $6,000,000,000, and nobody went to jail there..referring to the Dept. of Education..dont think the Janitor stole it!

[YaYa123]

Poor Al. Always sweaty, always out of step. He must not have gotten the Carville/Begala memo. They decreed the 2002 line of attack should be medicare/social security/ social issue scare tactics, not corrupt corporate heads whose lack of character is just too reminiscent of Bill Clinton

[xzins]

And they were getting campaign contributions out the wazoo from these folks.

They have dirty hands....really dirty hands. Everyone knows this about ALL political parties.

Can't believe they expect anyone to buy this drivel.

[DB]

More of the big lie from Clinton's mini-me...

[WildWeasel]

This is absolutely laughable. It's under the Bush admin where the fast and loose activities of the 90s are getting cleaned up.

Gore saying it's the Bush policies and tax cuts that caused this is so stupid , it's AlGore!!!!.

[ODDITHER]

Let's see Al, was that before or after you invented the internet?
Occasionally, demoncrats tell the truth, but it is quite accidental you see, they thought they were telling a lie and it turns out to be the truth.
