According
\n to the Boston
\n Globe<\/a>, last season’s loser to the George Bush juggernaut,
\n Al Gore,
\n is enjoying a bit of a renaissance. In fact, they describe him as a
\n "fire-breathing Bush basher," and go on to say:<\/p>\n
\n political campaigns, Gore is happily making speeches, raking in money,
\n and generally
\n raising hell these days for John F. Kerry and the Democratic Party.
\n In his spare time, he is also teaching at three universities and raising
\n money for himself through various business ventures."<\/p>\n
\n unaware that Gore was playing such an active and central role. In
\n fact, the only time we have read anything about him since his obligatory
\n gig
\n at the convention was when he got hit with a $141
\n ticket for speeding<\/a> in Oregon. Kerry is avoiding Gore like
\n Marion Barry avoids crack ‘hoes these days. and the reason is clear. While
\n America will always root for the underdog, they hate to look at a loser. Reminds
\n them of their own pathetic failings and the hopelessness of life in general.<\/p>\n
\n by none other than another of the Dowbrigade’s many alter egos:<\/p>\n\n
\n which I think he can use constructively in 2004," said Michael
\n Feldman, a Democratic consultant and former Gore adviser.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n is a pathetic excuse for a presidential candidate, an uninspiring milksop
\n who couldn’t hang with the laughingstock of the Yale class of ’68 when
\n the game got rough and the fur started to fly.<\/p>\n
\n was no War on Terror, there was no Department of Homeland Security, we
\n were at peace, George didn’t have any of the "leadership" and "War-time
\n President" issues to play on the fear and patriotism of unsuspecting
\n voters. Gore had a ten point lead at Labor Day, and he still let the
\n election get yanked out from under him. He deserves his place on the
\n dustbin of history, and with that he’s getting off lightly.<\/p>\n
\n are starting to get spooky. Stiff and aloof compares badly with Bush’s
\n goofy populism. When are the Democrats going to wise up to the reality
\n that their only chance to win is to nominate slick showmen with surgically
\n excised scruples, great politicians like Kennedy and Clinton, neither
\n of whom was afraid to steal an election here or there? Until they do,
\n the Bush brand of Compassionate Fascism seems fated to seep into every
\n corner of the American experience.<\/p>\n
