#1 Seems Mr. Pen also opened his hole promoting Mystic River down the Central/South American way and also called W a traitor.

#2 Where did Gore stand on the regime issue? I assume that he agreed with Clinton's position.

Without the Iraq invasion proliferation of nukes from our Pakistani entrepreneur would have continued unabated. Mumar would have continued to be a pain. We would have had to keep 130,000 troops in tents on the Kuwaiti border perpetually while jihadi kooks continued attacks like birds flying into a glass window. And on, and on ...

#4 Since Bush is going to win again I'll probably never get my freedoms back, let alone my bong.

#5 dangerous to our troops, that was preordained and planned before 9-11
As far as I know all missions we send troops on are dangerous. Secondly, I thought one of Al's bitches was that we had no plan for Iraq. Well Al, which is it? Plan or no plan? But hey, I'm gone back to surfing - thanks for the 'net Al!!

#6 Another version of the story here. He's become quite the asshat, hasn't he?

#7 Gorebot's desperately flailing for relevance - his endorsement of Dean was quite the benefit to Howard, huh? Let's see, he won....um, ummmmm..

#8 "He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure, dangerous to our troops, that was preordained and planned before 9-11,"

He's just sniveling because we didn't do like Clinton would do, and pack up after a few casualties.

#10 Looks like the Global Warming is starting it's work on Al's brain. Look for his head to burst into flames soon. It'll be a better photo op then Dean freaking in Iowa.

#11 Planned an attack against Iraq, of course, we have plans to invade Antarctica in case something comes up. Preordained? I imagine he's alluding to the paper that Rumsfield and many of the neocons sent to Clinton requesting Saddam be removed. Since most of these fellows ended up in the Bush adminstration Gore is trying to connect the dots.

Fact is, those folks were in the right place to push their world view after Sept 11, but I don't recall a military buildup in Kuwait until some time aftewards. I think Gore needs a few lessons in Cause & Effect.

#12 The timeline is the first thing to go when the revisionists get down to business. IIRC, and not being a revisionist I do, the UNSCOM boyz didn't even get to go back in to be duped and toyed with until troop strength in Kuwait hit around 50,000...

#13 Gee AL is that the best you can offer. Well you have a real "hero" in Kerry now. I hear you may be out of luck for VP though, I think Jane Fonda has the VP spot wrapped up.

#14 "I think Jane Fonda has the VP spot wrapped up."
Only if she'll dress up in her Barbarella threads. I'd vote for Barbarella in a heartbeat. I would be helpless to prevent it. I'm wired that way.

#19 CF - C'mon, cut us some slack! Everybody's just looking for a little slack, y'know. Of course if it's too slack, well, I admit I'll be looking for an upgrade... Vagina v25.0 - v35.0 would do just fine, methinks. Experience (+ fertile ~~invagination~~ imagination) should never be underestimated.

Pappy - "She has control of her vagina now- donchaknow?"
Yeah, I remember the hot wet vagina story. But you do me an injustice, sir! I don't wanna own it, I'm not greedy, I just wanna borrow it now and then. The vagina is very very green as it is an almost infinitely renewable resource.
[You're gonna get killed for that, y'know.
Yeah, I know, but what's a guy to do? Lie to get what I want?]

#20 Interesting how Dean starting screaming and acting like he had gone off his medication at about the same time Al Gore gave him an endorsement, about the same time Al started acting as if he was on someone elses medication.

#21 Not to open an old wound, but hey....

One of the commentors above mentioned that algore "screamin' al" won the popular vote and then lost the electorial vote and has been on lithium ever since.

Prior to the election I remember watching some liberal type pundants talking on TV and were looking at the possibility that GWB could very well end up winning the popular vote and loosing the electorial college.

They thought the prospect was kind of amusing.

The stopped laughing kind sudden like. Never did figure out why.

#22 "I appreciate what heâs done about giving the party its voice back," he said of Dean.

"too bad it's using that voice to howl like a dreanged banshee..."

#24 It just makes me realize how big of a disaster we dodged in 2000. Thank God the Florida voters got it right.
