Guest Mikey2Dope Report post Posted October 7, 2002 This clip is a couple of weeks old and I finally tracked it down. There's a 20 second interview with Trent Lott and then it's the Bush thing. http://www.comedycentral.com/player/mediap...eposid=38127192 Man I love The Daily Show. They put on clips like these that the news would never show just because it would embarrass the nation that their leader is so incompetent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted October 7, 2002 Bah. Everybody knows he's not the most eloquant. ...Or the most intelligent. But I think it's like that old Vinny Mac quote: "He's a dork, but he's OUR dork, he's a dangerous dork, and he's your dork for the evening." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ozymandias Report post Posted October 7, 2002 Dude, its a fucking comedy show. Relax. They've savaged Gore before and were all over Clinton during Hummergate. They even had Bob Dole on regularly as a special correspondant during the 2000 race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 7, 2002 Geez, people need to calm down. Every president is subject to this, and have always had their verbal gaffes broadcast on TV in some fashion. But that would kill the biased liberal media idea, so we'll ignore that. And as long as Bush(as well as anyone who comes after him) makes mistakes, I will laugh at it.

Guest Midnight Express83 Report post Posted October 7, 2002 Its funny because Bush is a god damn moron who can't even say the old saying correctly. He just looks stupid and has a sense of it too.

Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted October 7, 2002 Its just a television show He just looks stupid and has a sense of it too. And acts upon those senses daily. Which ever people like more is going to be my sig..until like finally making that Demos one I been stalling on We have alot of our Christmas stuff already out I guess you can say HBK is the only one to actully get the title, get over Here proof there was a flood and here is how the bible made such story as Noah's arch 5000 years ago The Fertal cressent has illregular floods 4000 years ago. The Epic of Gilgamesh is written. with Gilgamesh building an arch and only allowing 2 of each animal known to man with his Suns and their wives. 6 days and 6 nights of rain. And then after 7 days a dove is let go to found land.(kinda eire isn't it?) we count a day in its most pureist form as Sun up one day to Sun up the next. With no sun to come out. The earth could of have a 23 hour day, a 25 hour day, Hell it could have been 5 million years. Conclusion: Midnight Express83 is also "a god damn moron who can't even say the old saying correctly. He just looks stupid and has a sense of it too. And acts upon those senses daily. [sic]" Give it a rest. If a man's tongue slips every once in a while, it has no bearing whatsoever on his intelligence. His speech at the United Nations contained not one mistake. Not one. I know because I heard it. Did you? Could you have delivered that 26-minute speech without so much as a single stumble? None of you snot-nosed geeks ever remarks upon the hundreds of thousands of words and expressions the President uses every day, without a mistake - but let him stumble on so much as a single syllable and it's fucking Christmas. Jesus wept, don't you people have anything better to do with your lives? You've never before been mocked for the typos in your posts, ME83, let alone your innumerable grammatical mistakes. So just where the hell do you get off criticising anyone, anyone at all, for a slip of the tongue? I've heard the President speak in person, in meetings, at fundraisers, and at state dinners. He's an extremely intelligent, incisive, and yes, eloquent man. And what you still fail to grasp is that your petty childish sniggering is completely inconsequential. An "idiot?" A "moron?" Unworthy to lead the country? How would you even know? You're a gofer in a hardware store. He, on the other hand, is the President of the United States of America.

Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted October 7, 2002 When they make up stories about themselves (I invented the internet and what not) And, just to be balanced, Al Gore never said anything of the sort. Here is the relevant section of the CNN transcript: Wolf Blitzer: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now. Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process? Al Gore: Well, I will be offering... I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping, and I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. During a quarter century of public service, including most of it long before I came into my current job, I have worked to try to improve the quality of life in our country and in our world. And what I've seen during that experience is an emerging future that's very exciting, about which I'm very optimistic, and toward which I want to lead. A statement by Vinton Cerf, inventor (really) of the IP, and Robert Kahn: Al Gore and the Internet Al Gore was the first political leader to recognize the importance of the Internet and to promote and support its development. No one person or even small group of persons exclusively "invented" the Internet. It is the result of many years of ongoing collaboration among people in government and the university community. But as the two people who designed the basic architecture and the core protocols that make the Internet work, we would like to acknowledge VP Gore's contributions as a Congressman, Senator and as Vice President. No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution over a longer period of time. Last year the Vice President made a straightforward statement on his role. He said: "During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet." We don't think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he "invented" the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore's initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet. The fact of the matter is that Gore was talking about and promoting the Internet long before most people were listening. We feel it is timely to offer our perspective. As far back as the 1970s Congressman Gore promoted the idea of high speed telecommunications as an engine for both economic growth and the improvement of our educational system. He was the first elected official to grasp the potential of computer communications to have a broader impact than just improving the conduct of science and scholarship. Though easily forgotten, now, at the time this was an unproven and controversial concept. Our work on the Internet started in 1973 and was based on even earlier work that took place in the mid-late 1960s. But the Internet, as we know it today, was not deployed until 1983. When the Internet was still in the early stages of its deployment, Congressman Gore provided intellectual leadership by helping create the vision of the potential benefits of high speed computing and communication. As an example, he sponsored hearings on how advanced technologies might be put to use in areas like coordinating the response of government agencies to natural disasters and other crises. As a Senator in the 1980s Gore urged government agencies to consolidate what at the time were several dozen different and unconnected networks into an "Interagency Network." Working in a bi-partisan manner with officials in Ronald Reagan and George Bush's administrations, Gore secured the passage of the High Performance Computing and Communications Act in 1991. This "Gore Act" supported the National Research and Education Network (NREN) initiative that became one of the major vehicles for the spread of the Internet beyond the field of computer science. As Vice President Gore promoted building the Internet both up and out, as well as releasing the Internet from the control of the government agencies that spawned it. He served as the major administration proponent for continued investment in advanced computing and networking and private sector initiatives such as Net Day. He was and is a strong proponent of extending access to the network to schools and libraries. Today, approximately 95% of our nation's schools are on the Internet. Gore provided much-needed political support for the speedy privatization of the Internet when the time arrived for it to become a commercially-driven operation. There are many factors that have contributed to the Internet's rapid growth since the later 1980s, not the least of which has been political support for its privatization and continued support for research in advanced networking technology. No one in public life has been more intellectually engaged in helping to create the climate for a thriving Internet than the Vice President. Gore has been a clear champion of this effort, both in the councils of government and with the public at large. The Vice President deserves credit for his early recognition of high speed computing and communication and for his long-term and consistent articulation of the potential value of the Internet to American citizens and industry and, indeed, to the rest of the world. If you want to make fun of Al Gore, make fun of him for failing to recognise busts of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted October 7, 2002 Yeesh, remind me never to get on your bad side Marney. I saw that clip a while ago -- it made me cringe and laugh at the same time. Seeing how the President is a public official/figure, he is open to putting his foot in his mouth more times in front of the media than all of us combined. While we're on the subject of presidential faux pas, the all-time best I've ever seen was (and this isn't one of those you-made-fun-of-a-Rep.-so-I'm-going-to-make-fun-of-a-Dem cases)when Clinton was at Ron (?) Brown's funeral. He was walking with a few other guys laughing away, then he saw a camera recording him and began to wipe a tear away like he was in mourning. Damn, Rush must have played that 1,000 on his old TV show... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Midnight Express83 Report post Posted October 8, 2002 Marley I am not the president who reads cue cards half the time when I am on TV. So it isn't like I just reading off the public. I am shooting off the hip as the saying goes. I know I make mistakes and call my self an idiot many times. But, I am not the one who was elected president and thus represents this country of ours. Plus I am partly dyslexic so I never really grasp the concept of spelling and phonetics in school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
