You know anyone the Beltway Bobbleheads hate this much must be a good guy:
But this week, just as Gore’s star rose with the release of his widely acclaimed movie, “An Inconvenient Truth,” the press’ utterly predictable backlash swung into action, proving that any attempt to erase 2000 from your memory is pointless because the Beltway press class’ disdain for Gore knows no bounds and carries no expiration date. That’s why one so-called liberal newspaper was busy this week publishing a right-wing attack against Gore over trivial matters like what exactly he did–and where he was–during the summer he turned 15. (I kid you not.) Chris Matthews was inviting guests on his show, and lauding them, for writing Gore “is one slice short of a loaf.” PBS’ Gwen Ifil was asking one Gore profiler if the former VP doesn’t come off as “holier than thou.” And MSNBC’s Don Imus was ridiculing Gore as “the phoniest bastard on the planet–a horrid human being.”
The correct answer is “I know you are but what am I?”
Forget the summer, the real question is ‘where was he Christmas day?’
Does anyone else think Slate is a scourge that should be wiped from the face of the earth? (Except for running “Doonesbury”, of course.)
Imus was looking at a miror when he said that.
Who CARES what Imus has to say?
I don’t agree with you, Barry. Obviously. Maybe you should keep an open mind and say, “She’s so smart about so many other things, maybe she’s right about this one, too.”
If you can’t, I understand. Sorry to see you go.
