NOWHERE NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington Times 10/2/01 Jennifer Harper
The Boston Herald's Joe Sciacca found reason to celebrate yesterday. "Not
that people need anything else to be frightened about, but imagine this: Al
Gore could be president," he wrote. "It makes you want to go out
and find those 537 voters in Florida and buy them some propane for their trailer
park or something.
"Gore surfaced in Iowa over the weekend to give the first speech since
his concession last year. I liked his concession better, but seeing him back
on the stump — 'Restore Gore in 2004' — was quite something. New
beard, same baloney.
"Gore on the U.S. response to terrorism: 'Our response to this has to be in keeping with the scale of the kind of response that will be effective.' Bush on the U.S. response to terrorism: Bin Laden, wanted dead or alive. We're gonna smoke them out of their caves. We're in hot pursuit. Dead or alive. Rootin' em out.
"There are presidents for wartime and there are presidents for peacetime.
And Al Gore is right where he should be:
Nowhere near the White House."
Hench adds: Let's see, with Al as President, we wouldn't have gotten a
$300-600 CHECK from the IRS, but a $300-600 BILL instead. Now he's applying
his "No controlling legal authority" intellect to terrorism: 'Our
response to this has to be in keeping with the scale of the kind of response
that will be effective.' - in other words, as President Bush says he's "...not
going to shoot a $2 million missile at a $10 tent and hit some camel in the
butt.." but Al Gore, like Bill Clinton, would.
