Who Cares?
Al Gore and Ted Kennedy are in the news again.
In Sweden (reputedly on an expedition to find Captain Planet, who is thought to be in suspended animation in corporate captivity in the last country on Earth anybody would think to look for him), reporters yesterday asked the former coup plotter if he had any plans to try for the White House again in 2008. This was his answer:
"I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again."
After the yawning died down, he proceeded on an extended sour grapes rant filled to overflowing with paranoia, left-wing extremism, delusional lies, and vicious anti-American sedition. Or, pretty much what always comes out of Al Gore's mouth when he is damnfool enough to open it without having a full fork at the ready.
Meanwhile, Tyrannosaurus Sex made sure to get his endorsement of John Finger Kerry, who will be running in 2008 even if he's dead (which might actually make him look more animated), on record early (via CQ):
Did the AP even CALL the White House for comment? What comment would they have expected the White House to issue? That Kennedy is a "sexist" for not backing Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy instead? Geez, Uncle Teddy isn't a conservative elitist, after all.
More to the point, how pathetic has the Extreme Media become that they actually keep plying and feting these dinosaurs, losers, and retreads like a perpetual liberal Old Home Week? Sheesh, the nostalgia gimmick belongs to the Clintons lock, stock, and barrel anyway.
Must have been a slow news day.
I wonder, though - if EMK had passed out again, with the trademark streamer of drool eminating from his chin, would they have included it in the story for a change? Color pics would be ideal, but even a last-paragraph blurb would have actually made the piece worth printing....

"If he runs, I would support him," Kennedy told The Associated Press in an interview at his Boston office.
While Kennedy has frequently entertained the New York senator and her husband, former President Clinton, he said his loyalty is to Kerry. Early polling shows Clinton and Kerry among the favorites for their party's nomination in 2008, but neither has said for sure whether they'll run.
The White House had no immediate comment.
