The Blitzer Report
The Gore effect


Al Gore
From Wolf Blitzer Reports' Brian Todd in Washington:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Al Gore has been known to get fired up. But this may be something different entirely.

"In many ways, George W. Bush reminds me more of Nixon than of any other president. Like Bush, Nixon subordinated virtually every principle to his hunger for re-election," the former vice president said in a speech this week.

Gore wasn't finished. He went on to say, "He abused the trust of the American people by exploiting the fears of the American people ... "

This speech, delivered at the New School University in New York Thursday night, was full of sharp rhetoric against the man, and the party, that beat Gore in 2000.

1. How dare Al Gore
Compare Richard Nixon to George W. Bush. Nixon seems like a saint comparatively.

Are they saving it until the end of the show! Showed a "shouting" Al Gore firing up the crowds and it looked Great!

BTW..I audited classes at "New School" years ago.....and loved that place...was glad to see that Gore was there.....

Brought back memories of "oldstyle" progressivism! It was called "New School for Social Research," back when......

3. "that beat Gore in 2000"
or more accurately: "that was handily beat by Gore in 2000".
