Nader blabbering on MSNBC. Still not apologizing for Bush.

48. Gore didn't distance himself from Clinton, it was the other way around.

Clinton in his second term knew he would never have to run for another election and by his reckless, irresponsible behaviour Bill didn't give a rat's ass that Al needed to run for the highest office in the land.

Clinton whether consciously or subconsciously did what he could to sabotage Gore's chances.

The primary reason 2000 was a "contest" is because Gore was in fact the preeminent poltical champion for opening the Internet to the people and the corporate media made sure he paid for it with relentless slander and libel for the better part of two years prior to the selection while they covered for, camouflaged, enabled and gave Bush a free pass to the White House.

The owners and upper management of the corporate media knew the growing power and influence of the First Amendment magnifying Internet would come to threaten their one way, top down, authoritarian, monopolistic business plan, so they decided to play Zeus to Gore's Prometheus.

The corporate media strategy of transferring the sins of the President to the Vice-President by painting Gore as a liar ie; "Gore claimed to have invented the Internet" etc. etc. etc. was made all the easier after Clinton wagged his finger in the people's face saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," Gore would have been far better off if Clinton had either told the truth or kept his mouth shut.

Clinton even damaged Gore at the 2000 convention being consumed by his own arrogance he thought it necessary to waste precious televised primetime minutes walking down a f*&%!@ing hallway just so the American People could gaze at his elegance instead of just coming out to the podium like a normal person and touting and promoting the same loyal Vice-President that stood by him on the White House lawn defending his boss during the height of the impeachment saga.

When Clinton needed Gore the most, Gore was there, tragically the same can't be said in reverse.
