Mr. Pleszczynski has Gore's number for sure. The sentence that jumped out at me was, "Which is just what Gore was counting on. He survives because other commentators let him slip away, primarily by paying little if any attention to his substance and focusing instead on his efforts at political repositioning."

Gore has survived many transgressions due to the blinders worn by the left in the "mainstream" press. How many of those media outlets reported on Gore's rental homes in 2000? The ones that were falling apart, peeling paint (probably lead based), and dumping raw sewage into the local river that he rented to a poor, government dependent family. They had to call local TV stations to get any relief from their constant pleas to his management company (which on its letterhead was printed "Gore Reality"-- and they said Bush was stupid) to no avail. The Tennessee GOP paid to move them to Ohio. What say you Rather, Brokaw, Jennings?

Now of course, Gore lives in prestigious Belle Meade, a suburb on Nashville. He paid $2.1 million the same summer that it was reported he was having money troubles and couldn't pay his staff. Do you think the good, objective (cough), "mainstream" media would let a Republican presidential candidate get away with buying a palatial estate on what was once one of the largest slave owning, Confederacy backing, plantations in the south?

It may seem impossible, but he's too valuable to lose. br> -- Michael J. Lynch /p> p> CALL WAITING
