York on the alleged Al Gore incident
I'm not going to excerpt any of Byron York's article, but I agree with him that there doesn't appear to be anything about the sexual assault allegation against Al Gore which undermines it's credibility. Al Gore's increasing nuttiness and egotism over the years makes it all too believable. I do think it's a little sad that the woman making the accusation seems to have a deep-rooted prejudice against poodles. But other than that, her story seems to confirm that Gore was extremely well suited to take over all of Clinton's more interesting job functions had he become incapacitated.
When Gore recited his poem about global warming on CNN, that closed the book on his sanity.

“Our Choice”
One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sun
Vapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea
Neptune’s bones dissolve
Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quickly
Then dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning’s celebration
Unknown creatures
Take their leave, unmourned
Horsemen ready their stirrups
Passion seeks heroes and friends
The bell of the city
On the hill is rung
The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools
LOL. Well, she's not against all poodles. Just sex-crazed ones.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of poodles...the other day I received an email from SEOBook.com about "the contextual Web" and how Google's algorithm has evolved over the years to recognize context better. It seems that a few years ago Google would have interpreted "hot dog" as "boiling puppy." I don't know why that cracked me up, but it did. I guess I'm warped. (Don't worry, I would never boil a puppy. Sautee, maybe, but not boil.)
BTW, that poem is hilarious.
