do you know if Gore kept up his workout routine of jogging wobbily down 1 street for a photo op, turning a corner and getting in a car once out of focal distance? I mean, it wasn't much but at least it was an exercise program.

Why are you posting this after it was announced he was discharged from the hospital?

We need to find new posters to fill out positions 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 on your list.

My ticker tape news watch is less current than yours?

I can't be expected to be at the forefront of the Insurgency, covering paigow's sveltely yogafied arse with post after post and at the same time keep pace with the news. Remember I am also a billable superstarr!

On the one hand I find your blatant self-promotion with no corresponding kissing of my arse, to be nauseating.

On the other hand, I admire your moxie (is that still a word?), as it were, sts!

Given that no soy una clintonista never actually posted here and the additional but unrelated fact that generally the poster aka Cooter makes some sense although he is not without rino tendencies, I have revised the list.

10 tie:

(i) any reprinted or cited work of richard posner
(ii) Free Terri!
(iii) Raggedy Anne Coulter

9. fair and balanced (whatever happened to that dude?)

8. alihajisheikh

7. Mmmmmm, Burger (CJ)

6. bilmore

5. not me (whatever happened to that dude?)

4. chad87655 (whatever happened to that dude?)

3. spanky

2. sgt. club

1. the memory of Plated

Anyone else looking at the debut of the AlGorevision network? Looks like it has opened to a "technical difficulities" screen. Well done Al!

Jennings Dead


of lung cancer


Perhaps the Canadian was smoking one of his French cigarrettes when he reported over the radio on the 1994 Congressional elections:
Quote:
Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It's clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It's the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week….Parenting and governing don't have to be dirty words: the nation can't be run by an angry two-year-old." - Peter Jennings, 11/14/1994, ABC Radio

I forced myself to watch another 10 minutes of Gorevision this weekend. Slightly less interesting that examining a used roll of toilet paper, i.e. slightly more compelling that AirAmerica Radio.

More interesting is that Right Wing political gadfly Lucianne Goldberg unearthed a bombshell last week when she admitted to Fox News Radio's Tony Snow that way back when she actually babysit a young Al Gore (he was 10 years old.)

Apparently, a good galpal of Goldberg's was the regular Gore family babysitter (wasn't Gore's dad a none DEmocrat party racist in the mode of the Democrat Party's Conscience Senator Bobby Byrd (WVA-D?)

Anyhoo, Goldberg's pal couldn't make it one night and asked Lucianne if she could cover, and she did.

I wonder if they had her sing the union label song to young Al?

Continuing my attempts to reach agreement across this board, I would like to ask if everyone agrees that Al's behavior in the years since 2000 have proven that he would have been a terrible choice for President, particularly given the real challenges of those years.

in 2000 i thought he would be an average bad President, but now I realize that he would have been near bottom, like Jimmy Carter level bad.
Others?

I appreciate the olive branch, a reach out to grasp it. Gore may well have been Jimmy Carter bad.

But I don't think he'd have dropped as low as George W. Bush bad.

Interesting logic. Are we to draw similar conclusions that, had Dole won in 1996, we'd have been treated to Viagra in the Oval office?

Depends, assuming you consider the imposition of Shar'ia on what would now be the Islamic Republic of America f/k/a the United States of America to be not as low as GW Bush, I would agree.

The overall substantive result of a Dole Presidency would have been about the same as Clinton's second term, but without the scandal. He likely would have been a one-term president and a Dem would have likely won in 2000.

Aren't you ignoring Hank's thesis there? The winds of history blew strong in the late 90s - the scandal would have been there regardless of whether it were Clinton or Dole. Just with Dole there would have been a big boost for Pfizer.
