AlGore, back at it...

I find the below quotes by Mr. Algore to be intensely maddening, and incredibly hilarious, all at once. This man comes across like a rabid dog, to me at least.


In an interview with the Guardian today, the former vice-president calls himself a "recovering politician", but launches into the political fray more explicitly than he has previously done during his high-profile campaigning on the threat of global warming.

A "recovering" politician? What in the world does that mean? If politics hurt him so bad he has to recover, then why in the world is anyone listening to him? Hum?

Denying that his politics have shifted to the left since he lost the court battle for the 2000 election, Mr Gore says: "If you have a renegade band of rightwing extremists who get hold of power, the whole thing goes to the right."

OK, the obnoxious "renegade band" comment aside, Algore has made a brilliant observation. If a President, any President, is doing his job, his government is of course going to mirror his beliefs and ideologies.... Duh. Umm, wait a minute, maybe Algore wasn't so brilliant...

The new levels of attention he is receiving have led some Democrats to call on him to run again for president, while others have responded with anger that Mr Gore did not show the same level of passion in the 2000 campaign.

This cracks me up. Algore is as angry and worked up as he has ever been, and the only result is his old base is now just as mad as he is, but AT him....ahhaahahahahah. A bunch of mad democrats... ahahahahahah.

In the years since, he has been a steady critic of specific Bush administration policies. He opposed the war on Iraq at a time when most prominent Democrats were supporting it, and more recently spoke out against what he called "a gross and excessive power grab" by the administration over phone tapping.

Mr Algore, just a question here, if I may. When your former administration was conducting wiretaps, did you stand up against it then? DID YOU??? No, you didn't. Now you want to be the big morals police...sheesh. Why should anyone listen to a single friggin word that comes out of your mouth?

Mr Gore's true attitude towards a potential return to the White House - or, at least, a potential battle with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination - remains unknown.
At the weekend, Time magazine reported that he was telling key fundraisers they should feel free to sign on with other potential candidates. The magazine quoted unnamed Democratic sources as saying that the former vice-president had also been asking the fundraisers to "tell everybody I'm not running".

Why don't you run Al? I would love to see you make a baboon out of yourself, one more time. You and Hillary, ahh, I can see it now. Maybe Hillary will ask you to be here running mate, that would be nice wouldn't it? You might get to play second fiddle once again...only this time to a woman... You must be really proud of yourself.
