I caught a little bit of Rush in the car on the way home today, and he was talking about the media’s infatuation with Algore, and how excited they are at the prospect of another presidential run. Suddenly Hillary is no longer the media darling du jour; the frenzy is over Algore. I imagine journalists are excited because they feel that Algore could actually win. After all, he already won once…
It’s a joke, folks. He didn’t really win, but it seems like he and a lot of other people believe that he did. See, Hillary has a problem. There are people who will vote for Hillary, but they won’t be voting for Hillary. And there are people who will vote against Hillary, but they won’t be voting against Hillary. I know that sounds like something John Kerry might say - obscure and nonsensical - but it’s the Bill factor. People will be voting for or against Bill.
But Hillary and Algore carry the same baggage and, again, that baggage is Bill. There were people - Republicans included - who didn’t object to Algore when he ran with Hillary’s partner. They learned to dislike him later when they discovered he was a ‘ho.’ Yes, Algore’s a political whore. I know you’re saying “Who isn’t?” and “Isn’t that redundant?” but in Algore’s case it’s quite tragic. He put aside his core beliefs to get on that ticket because being president is more important than anything else. He believes he deserves to be president and he’ll do anything to get the job. Many of us suspected that he couldn’t stomach Bill Clinton, yet he didn’t hesitate to defend him and call him “great.” And that’s what we couldn’t stomach.
It’s a shame really. Even if Hillary was perfectly suitable I’d vote against her just to keep Bill out of the White House. And I’d have to vote against Algore because the man’s lost his marbles. He had a few dozen brightly colored cat’s-eyes in his head, but over the years they’ve rattled loose and dropped out of his ears somewhere. Maybe he left them on a campaign bus or a jet. Don’t know. Just hope he’s reunited with them someday. Forty, fifty years from now.
