Albert Gore, A True Son of the Olde South

[Tom Lehman]

Scott--I think this is a very gutsy move on Gore's part!  Only a bourbon
Democrat could make this move.  It restores my faith in the Southern Democrats
after years of enduring the Clintons' and their high-class problems.  I'm sure
that many of us Tammanys' will now be able to enter the wigwam with our heads
held high.

His two main opponents, "Geb" that's Jeb with a "G" if you get my drift Bush
and Pat Buchanan are both confederate flag wavers.  Buchanan maybe small
potatoes now.  But, after Bush and Gore nail down their nominations, Buchanan
will become the big spud.  Although, I wouldn't put it past Buchanan to have a
nationally televised epiphany on this issue--not to have his ancestors outdone
by Gore's ancestors.

There is humor in American politics.
