Al Gore: Yikes
Al Gore is frothing at the mouth again. He was spewing some bile today about Republicans looking to change some Senate rules to make it more difficult to filibuster our judicial system into oblivion. Here's Al (jowls moving violently):
"What makes it so dangerous for our country is their willingness to do serious damage to our American democracy in order to satisfy their lust for one-party domination of all three branches of government. They seek nothing less than absolute power."
Okay, we get it. Republicans want to rule the world and yada yada yada. Does anyone have a towel or something? Can we get a plastic bag over here to cover ourselves like they give out at a Gallagher concert for the remainder of this speech?
Al's jowls continue:
"This aggressive new strain of right-wing religious zealotry is actually a throwback to the intolerance that led to the creation of America in the first place!"
Let's see now...We've got "aggressive", okay. What else? Oh, we've got "right-wing". We've got "religious". We've got "zealotry". I know there was another one in there. Oh, yeah, we've got "intolerance" of course. Old Al's slipping a little. Surely he could've worked in a "fascist" in there somewhere.
Okay, so what is he talking about again? Are they donning black robes and burning Democrats at the stake down there at the Senate these days? Oh, right, right. They're looking to change some procedural rules to prevent the filibustering of our judicial system into oblivion. I forgot.
And by the way, setting the buzz words aside, just what in the wide wide world of sports does that statement mean? Religious zealotry and intolerance led to the creation of America? Wow. This guy was almost president.
Al Gore, to me, is like that guy from the opposing team who hits the long fly ball in the bottom of 9th inning of game 7 of the World Series with a runner on and my team up by a run which hooks just foul of the pole, only to be called out on strikes to end the game on the next pitch.
Whew. That was a close one.

Gore is obviously upset that the Republicans have managed to pack the courts with conservatives; cut the size of the federal government; cut federal spending on education; secure our borders; veto nearly every piece of legislation; use racial profiling to secure our transportation; drill off the coasts of Florida, California, and Alaska; keep minorities out of high positions in the government... well, the list just never ends.
Love it, C.I.V. Hilarious.
