You don't pay much attention do you? We (Americans) are always voicing our opinion about foreign leaders. We've even tried to kill a couple- you can't get much more public than that.

July 7, 2000 The World According to Gore Al -"Take This House and Shove It"! The New York Post, 7/7/00 A Tennessee woman who rents a house from Al Gore told the vice president yesterday he can "shove" the place, saying she's leaving the rundown, spider-infested ranch house. Tracy Mayberry is packing up her family and moving to Ohio, where she will pay $25 more a month in rent but won't have to contend with leaky commodes or bugs. "Al Gore can take this house and shove it," said Mayberry, who last month branded the vice president a "slumlord." "All the time he was promising things and we got nothing." "We ain't heard nothing from Al Gore. I don't know nothing about eating dinner with him. He don't call. He don't come by," said Mayberry, 36, who has lived in one of two rental houses on Gore's 75-acre estate in Carthage, Tenn., since October 1998. Mayberry says friends found her a six-bedroom house in Lima, Ohio, that she and her family are moving into for $425 a month. She pays Gore $400 a month for the house he inherited in 1995 from his father, Al Gore Sr. ... Late in May, Mayberry took stories of her flooding toilets, leaky plumbing, unpainted walls, broken fuse box, stopped-up sink, torn screens, ripped linoleum, and an abundance of spiders to a Nashville TV station. A day later Gore called, apologized and invited her over for dinner. Gore aides say privately he meant it in a generic way, as in "Hey, let's do lunch," though Hattaway says the offer's good when Gore's next in Carthage. Yesterday, Mayberry said a spider recently bit her 14-year-old daughter, Anna Alicia, on the leg. "They came and sprayed for bugs, but after they left, the bugs was worse," Mayberry said. "This is a sad episode," said Ari Fleischer, a spokesman for Texas Gov. George W. Bush, whose aides have repeatedly poked fun at Gore's tenant woes. "It's no way to treat somebody. It's not a proper way to do business."
