I heard that AlGore missed 5 out of four - his best showing yet.
Remember, AlGore was the guy who didn't recognize George Washington.

In reality a name test has little meaning. What matters is the larger picture - just look how AlGore has so thoroughly mismanaged his potfolio, Russia.

jbe, you have, conveniently, forgotten 8 years ago when, on a TV news cast, Algore walked into a room in Monticello where there were several busts, including Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin. The boob made a weak chuckle and asked "And who might these fellows be?" You want an airhead, you got one. How did you do on the quiz given to GW? These are the type of things that are covered in the transition period after the election. Not during a campaign. Get a grip. TD
