This is no fun. We knew a long time ago it would be Bush and Gore. And we knew that Gore would be toast with or without a good platform simply because of his association with the liar. Boooriiinnnngggg

Gotta admit this was funny...... mediaresearch.org From the March 8 Late Show with David Letterman, the "Top Ten Headlines During a George W. Bush Presidency." Copyright 2000 by Worldwide Pants, Inc. 10. "President Streaks Supreme Court" 9. "President Fails In Shoe-Tying Bid" 8. "President To Nation: ?Do These Non-Prescription Eyeglasses Make Me Look Smarter??" 7. "Bush To Hussein: 'I'm Telling My Daddy On You'" 6. "President Cancels Meeting With Pope After Discovering He's Catholic" 5. "Bush Remembers Setting Nuclear Football Down At The Mall, Doesn't Know What Happened To It" 4. "America Under Siege: Day 16 of President's Head Stuck In Banister" 3. "Even Dumber George Bush III Preparing For 2012 Election" 2. "President Completes 3 Month ?Goodwill Tour' Of Amsterdam" 1. "President Trades America For 'Magic Dog'" If you?re wondering why I featured this list, other than the fact that it?s humorous and the MRC is a non-partisan foundation which has run past Letterman Top Tens on Gore, it?s to illustrate the public perception of one of the two major party candidates. Comedians like Jay Leno and David Letterman may strengthen public opinion by portraying a public figure in a certain way, but they never tell jokes they don?t believe match already formed images of persons or events. The fact that Letterman would showcase a Top Ten list about Bush as a lightweight and a bumbler demonstrates that is how much of the public now sees him. The question for the next few months will be is that more because of reality or media bias. -- Brent Baker
