Congrats, again, Al.

1. Our real president has won two book awards....

...while the thief who stole the presidency still can't even read.

I need to go be sad now.

[Cha]

3. Don't be sad..it's not over yet..

This country needed to go through the hell of the bushits grinding their greed to the bone. Remember what happens before the caterpiller becomes a butterfly.

The fact is we have a man who was elected President in 2000 who has numerous awards to be proud of..and the fact is our country had a coup with the invaluble help of the fascist mediawhores. So what do we do about them..that is the question?

11. Congradulations, Mr. Gore

[Deep13]

12. Damn, we really dodged a bullet there in 2000.

Imagine if we got stuck with Al Gore?

Some guy actually said this to me after Sept. 11. Yeah, I'm sure Gore would have responded by drawing rainbows and ponies.

[Kurovski]

16. That was the 'official' RW /WH media response,

planted into the brains of compliant fearful ones.

Repeated over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over.

Was the guy covered in course or fine wool?

[Deep13]

14. Bush demonstrates an impressive knowledge of literature.

19. Way to go, Al!

Too bad we can't rewind the past 7 years of catastrophe and celebrate the rightful headline:

"Al Gore Wins White House"

[jeff30997]

20. Book awards,Oscar,Nobel price...

When I think about the primate living at the White House instead of Al I want to scream! :banghead:

[road2000]

21. "the primate living at the White House"

That was good!

[mdelaguna2000]

22. A primate might be an overstatement...

Reptile?
