So glad for this post. I keep wondering what some to the conversation may be…what Gore will say to Shrub. Something like “Heckava job, shrub”; …

slightly snarky version:

Gore: Hi George. So, how’s that stolen election workin’ out for ya?

more likely reality:

Gore: Hello Mr. President. It’s good to see you again.

Gore is such a stand-up guy.

I really distrust ABC News. As much as Fox. The 2 headlines on worker strikes cemented it. When the auto workers were on strike the headline read “Striking To Protect $60/hr Wages”. For the writers the headline was “Would You Stike if Earning $200,000 per Year?” Shameful, misleading headlines. And of course, there was “The Path To 9/11″. They’re more dangerous than FoxNews.

Don’t forget they looked at the DC Madam’s phone records and said there was nobody of note in there. Later we found there WAS, Republican Senator Vitter of Louisiana. Then they pocketed the list and weren’t going to let anyone else look it over.

I am sure it will be a big disappointment to the former Vice Prez, knowing how the bush/cheney admin has destroyed in the past seven years every vestige of what he worked to protect in America under President Bill Clinton.

Gore’s a southern gentleman.

I have this mental picture of him walking up to Bush, shaking his hand, tilting his head slightly and shaking it slowly as he gives him the sympathetic smile reserved for someone who’s dumb as a bag of hammers and doesn’t know it, and saying simply..

“Bless your heart”
