Hey, Gore's giving a real bonafide press conference. I bet the guy on your horse, George W. Bush, is gun-shy not only about counting all the votes in Florida, but also in doing a full scale press conference such as the one Gore just completed. Bush is quite some cowboy, ain't he?
In fact, Bush's last legitimate press conference was the second week in September. That is until what he tried toget away with, the DUI flap, came up and he was forced to answer questions from the general press, not just from his press favorites. But that press conference was easy for him. All he had to do was hide behind his voting-aged twins as a justification for not telling the American public about his DUI conviction. Geez, his voting aged daughters, as voters, had a right to know about the DUI!
Anyone wish to take a wager that Bush won't conduct a bonafide and open general press conference? He won't 'cause he won't wanna have to answer why he wants to be president without ALL of the votes counted.
Instead, he'll likely send out Dick Cheney. After all, it's why he picked Cheney? If Cheney does show up for a press conference, I sure hope someone asks him why he thinks each Florida vote is important and why his votes when he was a resident of Texas were not important, given Cheney voted only twice during the past 16 elections--including the recent Texas primary--prior to his voting for himself and Bush in the November 7th general election. |
