From LB's Blog:::: A Tale of Two Vice Presidents RCP BLOG says Friday, February 17, 2006 So much focus on the current Vice President's poor aim, so little focus on the former Vice President's poor judgement. Dick Cheney accidentally blasted a friend in the face on Saturday in Texas. Al Gore purposefully blasted his country on Sunday in Saudi Arabia. The Chicago Sun-Times picked up my column on the subject today: As with most things in politics and diplomacy, context is everything. Gore didn't need to fly halfway around the world to apologize to Muslims living, working and going to school in the United States after 9/11. And if Gore believed America's treatment of Muslims after Sept. 11 to be so shameful, why hadn't he made it the centerpiece of one of the numerous, widely covered speeches he's given in the last few years? But the bigger mystery is this: Did Gore really think his comments were beneficial to the United States of America? Was he putting the interests of his country first? Did he believe making an exaggerated claim of U.S. abuse of Muslims and then apologizing for it on Middle Eastern soil would somehow help build goodwill for the United States in the Islamic world? posted by Bill Millan at 6:26 AM billmillan.blogspot.com
