Hardly surprising considering Gore's all consuming hatred of the ever
popular Clintons. A _Washington Post_ or some other columnist got it
half way right in 2000 comparing Gore to the Italian composer who was
jealous of Mozart. I say "halfway" because while Bill Clinton could
be a credible political Mozart, the Italian composer wasn't exactly
tone deaf.

The Democratic Party is big tent but the big tent shouldn't include
haters. Gore's irrational hatred of Clinton alone should have
precluded him from being in the party in any official capacity, let
alone being nominated as a presidential candidate.

Nominating a misanthrope in 2000 as a presidential candidate was the
dumbest mistake the Democratic Party has made in its two century
history. Even Tipper could have gotten into the White House and have
speeded up the time line for the first woman president by 8 years.

What is it about Mr. Gore that drives right-wingers insane?

Partly it's a reaction to what happened in 2000, when the American
people chose Mr. Gore but his opponent somehow ended up in the White
House. Both the personality cult the right tried to build around
President Bush and the often hysterical denigration of Mr. Gore were,
I believe, largely motivated by the desire to expunge the stain of
illegitimacy from the Bush administration.

And now that Mr. Bush has proved himself utterly the wrong man for the
job - to be, in fact, the best president Al Qaeda's recruiters could
have hoped for - the symptoms of Gore derangement syndrome have grown
even more extreme.

How about put capitalism in the villages instead - which means of

Another better reason is that Gore let Dumbya into the White House
and, from the POV of most, rightards as well as many of the brightest
liberal commentators like Eleanor Clift, promptly destroyed the GOP.

According to rightard theory, if Gore hadn't been such a loser, he
would have have gotten elected and destroyed the Democratic Party with
his preachyness.

We saw the same thing with Kerry.

In reality the GOP was destroyed by the high tax Clinton economic
boom. That's why Rove, et. at., were running around saying, "we got
to think big! BIB I tell ya!!!"

The Bushies abandoned the Gipper and "market" economists for jingoism
because that was their only choice.

Except for all the waste involved, even I must admit that Gore played
a cruel, if unintentional, trick on rightards.

By hey, Dr William Gray is only one of the world's foremost

thinks that the solution to third-world poverty and "over population"
is putting windmills in African villages?
