Gore turns negative with Attack on Bush 'Bloopers' By Steve Holland SARASOTA, Fla. (Reuters) - Democrat Al Gore's campaign will attack Republican George W. Bush on Monday for public-policy ''bloopers'' and for his record as Texas governor, Gore campaign officials said. The Democratic National Committee will announce that a feature on its Web site will include a video Webcast of Bush's tongued-tied pronouncements, from his difficulties explaining his $1.3 trillion tax cut to his statements on the abortion pill RU-486, campaign officials said. In addition, the campaign plans to send vice presidential running mate Joe Lieberman to Texas on a ``failed-leadership tour'' this week to highlight Bush's record on health care, the environment and gun control as governor of Texas the past five years. In addition, Democratic ``truth'' squads are due to go to key battleground states, and the Democratic National Committee is set to issue new television ads highlighting Bush's record in Texas. The negative turn in the presidential campaign comes as polls show the race tightening even further less than a month before the Nov. 7 election. The Gore campaign was trying to turn the tables in response to Bush's focus on Gore's credibility based on charges that the vice president has shown a pattern of embellishing his record. One Gore campaign official said the Democratic Web site would include ``Bush public-policy bloopers'' including his inability to ``string together coherent sentences to explain his policy.'' Just on Saturday Gore said he did not plan to attack Bush personally, but would feel free to criticize Bush's record. Now, it appeared Bush's intellect was on trial.
