Ice tea Al gets it wrong again: March 15, 2000 Gore Says He's Endorsed By McCain's Mississippi Director; One Problem - There Is No McCain Mississippi Director! AUSTIN, TX - Just days after Vice President Al Gore announced the endorsement of John McCain?s "Mississippi Campaign Director," the New York Times has exposed that no such job existed in the McCain campaign. "First Al Gore invented the Internet, now he?s invented a Mississippi campaign coordinator for John McCain," said Ari Fleischer, a spokesman for the Bush for President campaign. "But there was no McCain organization in Mississippi and there was no ?Mississippi Campaign Director? for the McCain campaign. This is just a partisan Democrat who is now parading as a former McCain supporter. Maybe the Vice President should stick to inspiring romance novels." The Fiction: "McCain, Bradley Leaders Endorse Gore For President." Gore campaign press release, Sunday, March 12: "Jackson, MS - March 12 - The Mississippi Campaign Director for Senator John McCain and the Mississippi State Chairman for former Senator Bill Bradley today endorsed Al Gore for President?Jim Bass, Mississippi State Director of McCain for President, and former Gov. Ray Mabus, Mississippi State Chairman of Bradley?s campaign, held a joint press conference here to announce their support of Gore." The Facts: "Shifting From McCain to Gore," by David Firestone, The New York Times, Tuesday, March 14: "Vice President Al Gore's campaign, which has spent the last week trying to impress Senator John McCain's voters, announced yesterday that Mr. McCain's Mississippi coordinator, Jim Bass, had moved to the Gore camp. But at Mr. Bass's news conference in Jackson yesterday, none of the assembled political reporters had heard of Mr. Bass or knew that Mr. McCain had a Mississippi organization. Mr. McCain had not visited the state to campaign for today's primary, and had not opened a headquarters. Mr. Bass said he had run for a state Senate seat a dozen years ago -- as a Democrat." georgewbush.com
