Al Gore:::: Presidential Wannabe Monday, February 13, 2006 By John Gibson It must just kill Al Gore that he's not president. It must be a terrible burning tumor in his gut that eats at him every single day of his life. I say that must be true because there really is no other explanation for what he is doing. Here we've got a major Muslim controversy sweeping the planet over some sophomoric cartoons that depict a bearded guy named Muhammad. We've got Muslims burning and killing and threatening all over the world, and Al Gore picks this time to travel to Saudi Arabia and tell what sounds very much like the abominable snowman of lies about his very own country. He said after 9/11 Arabs were indiscriminately rounded up and held in unforgivable conditions. Hmmm. Rounded up, yes, but indiscriminately? Don't think so. They were visa overstayers or people with phony or out-of-date green cards, but not indiscriminately. These statements indicate every so often Al Gore just can't help playing president, but even pretend presidents have to face tough questions. Does President Gore think Saudi Arabia lets Americans stay there without their paperwork in order? Unforgivable conditions? What does that mean? Is he suggesting that the Arabs who were picked up for immigration violations were held in Gitmo or Abu Ghraib? President Gore doesn't really think that because he knows it's not true. But that's what he suggested to his Arab audience, an audience made up of Arabs who don't know it's not true. President Gore then goes on to argue that the United States and Saudi Arabia should have more Saudi students coming here, not fewer. Hands Across the Seas and all that. In theory, that would be nice. But evidently President Gore doesn't read the papers. It sounds like he doesn't know that many of the hijackers who attacked us on 9/11 were Saudi. President Gore doesn't appear to know that many of the foreign jihadis fighting Americans in Iraq are Saudi. And President Gore doesn't appear to realize that Usama bin Laden himself is Saudi. All of which indicates President Gore seems to be unaware all that explains why we don't let so many Saudis into the country anymore. President Gore needs a reality check. As much as he thinks he ought to have been President 43, and as unfair as he thinks the counting was which denied him the office he thought was his from birth, the fact is he just isn't President Gore. He's just a presidential wannabe. Never was and never will be. And it's killing him. And it's why every so often he says these crazy things. Pity Al Gore. It's the fever that won't pass. That's My Word.

David Gregory and all his bile is there to see on the White House website (under Press Conferences). In fact, it is just an amazing Transcript. These press people are children. Spoiled, ego driven, narcissistic children. Many Many important things going on in the world today, and yet, these twerps focus on an accident, and why they weren't called the instant it happened. It happened Saturday evening. Give the poor people involved a break. First let them get the man to the hospital (probably at least a couple of hours) Then let them figure out how to clean him up and see what the damage was. If any of you have been to the emergency rooms recently, you know that at a minimum you are there at least 4-6 hours, and then you might be admitted, or not as the case may be. The President was notified that night I believe. Scott was notified early on Sunday morning. Cheney was with the family...his and his friends....Why was/is the press so insistent that it needed to know right away? Could they have done anything about it? I notice Time magazine has a cover story (see the online copy just now....1:11 AM PST on Tuesday Feb 14, not quite 14-15 hours from the scandalous press conference. The media should be ashamed of themselves for such a lack of professionalism.
