Free To Be Al Gore

I would not blame Gore for not wanting to be anywhere near national politics, especially after what was done to him by the media and Gooper thugs in 2000.

But it seems only right that the legitimate president of the U.S. be in the White House. Of course, that would mean cleaning up the mess of the man who stole the White house from him in the first place.

No, I don't blame Al for saying, "enough is enough."

Boy, it would be fun if Al Gore changed his mind and ran for president -- fun for the voters, anyway. Imagine a candidate whose preelection book is devoted in large part to an attack on the media for waging war on reason.

Politicians, it is often said, never win by attacking the media. That's simply not true. Conservatives have been attacking the media for decades, to good effect from their point of view. Their intimidation sometimes worked -- go back to the coverage of the 2000 Florida recount if you want to see media bias. When intimidation fails, they declare inconvenient facts to be merely 'liberal' opinions.
