The latest from the Al Gore "foot in mouth" committee:
| The Late Show with David Letterman "Top Ten Other Achievements Claimed By Al Gore." |

10. Was first human to grow an opposable thumb 9. Only man in world to sleep with someone named "Tipper" 8. Current Vice President -- Moesha fan club 7. He invented the dog 6. While riding bicycle one day, accidentally invented the orgasm 5. Pulled U.S. out of early 90's recession by personally buying 6,000 T-shirts 4. Starred in CBS situation comedy with Juan Valdez, "Juan for Al, Al for Juan" 3. Was inspiration for Ozzy Osboune song "Crazy Train" 2. Came up with popular catchphrase "Don't go there, girlfriend" 1. Gave mankind fire |
Earlier this week, Gore claimed to have "found" Love Canal, the community that was evacuated in New York in 1979 when toxic chemicals were discovered to be having a detrimental affect on townspeople. Pres. Jimmy Carter ordered the town to be evacuated and the citizens relocated in March, Sen. Gore ordered hearings on the matter in August. Not to mention that there were 26 front-page stories on Love Canal before Gore intervened.
Don't forget, the Vice-President also claimed to have invented the Internet and in his silliest move yet, claimed he and wife Tipper were the inspiration for the movie Love Story. Neither are true.
Why can't Gore stand on his own record? He inserts him in historical places that nobody cares about, and distorts his opponents' record in order to garner support.
We already learned with Clinton that the worst president to have is the one who has always wanted to be the leader, one who feels it is his "right" to win the election. Clinton and Gore are the perfect examples that such politicians will do whatever it takes to be president, where lying becomes habit, a means to an end.

I would like to see the Major League career hits leader someday elected into the Hall, but first he has to tone down the arrogance with which he approaches the controversy.
Instead of admitting he gambled on baseball, he is using the matter to fill his wallet. Rose has implored fans to log onto a new Web site, www.sportcut.com, and vote on whether he should be admitted to the Hall. The twist? Rose has a financial stake in the site.

But even Rose must know that is unlikely. What franchise would even dare touch Rose for a management position? Only a team that has nothing to lose and doesn't mind facing the amount of ridicule garnered from hiring a bad influence on the youth who are supposedly so important to baseball's future.
Also, if Rose is ever allowed to return to the game of baseball, then reparations need to be made immediately for "Shoeless" Joe Jackson to be posthumously elected into the Hall of Fame as well.
Democrat spaz James Carville is blowing his top again (when isn't he?), this time against Pizza Hut for its parody of Hillary Clinton in a television commercial.
Do you remember how the Left got their panties in a bunch when Southern Baptist leaders called for a boycott of Walt Disney, Corp.? At least the Baptists were upset over perceived abuses against their beliefs.
Carville, however, wants a boycott because of a pizza parody! Here's a hint, Jimmy, if Hillary can't take a minor hit in an ad, how is going to react when people begin dumping on her every day as an elected official?
I'd love to laugh Carville off for this and every other silly antic, but he's so darn annoying!
Last week was a fascinating look at Americana as all manners of the far Left and far Right converged on Seattle to protest the World Trade Organization. It is unfortunate that a relatively peaceful demonstration turned into a riot by a few of the anarchists.
But don't be fooled by the media. Those peaceful gatherers were not free of foolishness, either. They were protesting our right to buy what we want, when we want, where we want. Should some guy in a turtle suit determine if you're able to buy a cashmere sweater at Macy's for a reasonable price?
