Reply #39: This is a ridiculously small point

I still hear bright, educated people joke about Al
and the intenet.

Hypersensitivity over 2000 gets us nowhere. Let's face
it Gore made a statement that was easily exploited by
the political opposition and like all pols they used it
to their advantage. We do this on this board with Bush's
dumb statements every day. If Bush had said it the Dems
would have had a field day.

And I know all the usual responses :

That's a Republican talking-point!(and who gave it to the Pubbies?)

Read the Daily Howler !(I'm sure those swing-voters read the Howler
all the time).

You must be getting paid by Karl Rove !!(Karl's check is late this
month - he must be in Crawford).


The fault for the internet gaffe lies with Gore, not Kerry, not
the Pubbies, not late night comedians. Tragically this along
with some other dumb mistakes cost just enough votes to put that
dipshit in the White House.
