Truly Mr. Carter demonstrates the 400-year-old wisdom of the Bard.

Mr. Gore is a horse of a different color. Mr. Gore was born into Tennessee royalty. He is the Prince of Tennessee! Raised in privilege, elite private schools, accepted into prestigious Universities-who doesn't want a Prince among their students, especially one from a liberal background. Mr. Gore has never worked, never wanted for anything. He was the recipient of the only scheduled 90 day tour in Viet Nam known to me, courtesy of the King of Tennessee, his Dad. For virtually all of his Mr. Gore's life, the "fix was in."

My wife and I sat and watched the returns on that fateful night and both opined that Mr. Bush should withdraw and concede the election to Mr. Gore. That would have accomplished two things. First we would now be sure who qualified for Worst in the presidential sweepstakes and who came in second. Second, if Mr. Bush ran again it might be a bit more difficult for the drive by media to crucify him, because of this very honorable gesture.

But alas, we are now saddled with an increasingly irrelevant Mr. Gore, who in his political death throes, is thrashing and smashing all who come near. Mr. Carter ceased being relevant in the first few weeks of his administration and has remained remarkably constant only in his anti Americanism and bitterness towards her people.

Thank you, Mr. Bowman, for another brilliant article. Al Gore's smugness & depravity is wonderfully illustrated by Mr. Bowman when he writes, "...he (Al Gore) could have foreseen the disaster of September 11th, if only anyone had thought to ask him about it in advance."

Al Gore did indeed have a golden opportunity in late 1996 to prevent 9/11 when he was Chairman of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security in the aftermath of TWA 800. Even a child would reason that Al Gore failed miserably at this task and he should be held accountable for his misdeeds and stupidity. Here's what Vice President Al Gore said in 1996, '"Sometimes, government must step back and ask itself, 'Is there a better way to do this?' Given the increase in terrorism (my emphasis), the continuing changes in the airline industry, and the rapid advancement of technology, President Clinton said it is clearly time to ask that question and reevaluate the way the federal government oversees aviation safety and security." How prescient Mr. Gore! This quote was nearly five years to the day of 9/11. It is from the September 1, 1996, report of the American Association of Airport Executives. If anyone has blood on his hands it is most certainly Al Gore, not President Bush.

Mr. Bowman's concluding line sums today's Kultursmog: "Neither man (referring to Al Gore & Jimmy Carter) has ever learned that being right without the will or the capacity for action is the cheapest form of self-gratification."
