The weirdness of AlGore
Oliver Kamm:
"...Al Gore confirmed his unfitness for public office with a speech whose standards of tawdriness and mendacity will remain unsurpassed till the stars burn out and the heavens implode.
" 'He betrayed this country!' Mr. Gore shouted into the microphone at a rally of Tennessee Democrats here in a stuffy hotel ballroom. 'He played on our fears. He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure preordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place.' "
Is AlGore challenging the President's patriotism? I thought Dem's think that is a no no. AlGore needs to make more speeches like this to keep reminding America how lucky we are that his voters were not smart enough to handle a butterfly ballot.
Sine Qua Non adds:
"This level of detachment from reality is not easily achieved. I'm not going to go into details because anybody reading this already understands how wrong this is, or else they agree with Al's Machiavellian machinations. But is it really worth the sacrifice of his integrity and the utter debasement of the body politic to win? Remember that it was the fallen angel Lucifer in John Milton's Paradise Lost who said, 'Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven.' Unfortunately, this scorched earth policy seems to be the order of the day."
