[mopaul]

In response, Republican Party Chairman Ken Mehlman said Gore is "more interested in desperately trying to get attention than he is in focusing on the facts and the law."

fucking ha ha and fucking hee hee and fucking har dee har har.

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. Kill the mesenger

now want to bet that will be the frame used?

[stray cat]

2. He seems to have gotten their attention

[ananda]

Mehlman, like the law today..

.. is a ass.

(cf. Shakespeare).

[The Backlash Cometh]

3. Who is Ken Mehlman?

I mean, where does he fall in the Abramoff shitlist?

[HeeBGBz]

23. Didn't he play an office butt flunky on some sitcom?

Thought so...

[The Backlash Cometh]

24. He was bald and had an egg-shaped head?

I think it was the Mary Tyler Show?

[HeeBGBz]

25. Yeah maybe so, and he did that snorting thing

Like a pig in a trough. He walked around in high-water pants.

[The Backlash Cometh]

30. Oh, no! I was thinking of Murray. He's one of the good guys.

Not Ted Baxter either. Mehlman...hmm...was it one of the late night shows?

[HeeBGBz]

32. That guy on David Letterman?

The one that does the on-the-street interview that looks like the Dancing Six Flags Guy?

[The Backlash Cometh]

38. Has to be.

[cry baby]

4. rrrriiiiight! sssuuuure! whatever! nt

[deminks]

5. Ken is trying desperately to stay out of jail.

Bwahahahahaha.

[Atman]

7. Ken, if there was an award for assholes, you'd have a warehouse full.

Gawd, I cannot stand that horsefaced moran..........

[robbedvoter]

8. New writers needed! Did he mention the beard?

[catnhatnh]

9. So a guy who was VP for 8yrs....

and arguably stripped of his Presidential term is the attention whore??? Gore I hear from several times a YEAR (and seldom on so important a subject) but the bleatings of a clown never elected to national office that I hear from at each Republican transgression-THAT I should attach gravitas to???

[Penndems]

10. Mehlman and the RNC talking about "facts" and "law"

An oxymoron if there ever was one. :eyes: :mad:

[tmooses]

11. RNC tries to label Gore as "angry", "desperate" and implies he is

unhinged. They must be afraid of him. He is speaking the truth clearly and with emotion-something they haven't seen from the Dems.

[rodeodance]

28. i am angry and desperate also.

[peekaloo]

12. Monkey faced bastard. He's got to be a Boo$h relation.

Did he count with his fingers again? Every time I see that buffoon he does this countdown of talking points and uses his fingers to demonstrate his hand to tongue coordination.

[kentuck]

13. Get attention? This is the first time he's spoken in months??

What the hell is this guy talking about? They can't handle the truth but it's coming! Hold on, Mr Mehlman!

[Avalux]

14. That's it - as I expected.

They simply cannot refute the content of the speech because they have NOTHING. How could anyone argue with that speech? Instead, they make it personal. Gore isn't desperate and certainly doesn't need attention.

The whiny little crybaby repugs need to get a clue. :nopity:

[Mend]

15. President Gore strapped on a giant codpiece and landed on

the deck of a battleship... or was that someone else? Speaking of attention-getting.

[mopaul]

16. & clearing brush for the cameras isn't being starved for attention?

[dave29]

17. how lame is that.

That's the lamest response to having one's shit called that I've ever heard.

"He just wants attention."

Duh, of course he wants attention, you guys are destroying our Democracy with your profound idiocy and disregard for the law.

[mopaul]

19. bush started two fucking wars for the same reason, to get attention

and to take attention away from his many tyrannys.

[malaise]

18. Mehlman isn't that stupid

he knows this has implications for Alito and serious implications for Bushco. Fugg him.

[blm]

20. And what does he call Bush's jet carrier landing? Early Halloween?

Fuck you Mehlman - focking closet case who is so gawddam miserable he wants the rest of the world to be miserable, too.

[grateful581]

21. ken mehlman desperately trying to get attention

[Matariki]

22. don't underestimate their mastery of a meme

which is what they are trying to do here. The AP article (Gore Assails Domestic Wiretapping Program) published in *a lot* of papers has a whole paragraph near the top of the article quoting an RNC spokeswoman "Al Gore's incessant need to insert himself in the headline of the day.." etc...

The idea is to turn the argument away from the substance of Gore's speech to a discussion (and ridicule) of his motivations.

This is how they do things and it seems to work every time. By the end of the day I won't be surprised if that discussion/argument makes its way to DU

[Obamarama]

26. What do you expect from the Boy King's butt-boy?

[rodeodance]

27. is that the best he has. old and boring.

[spanone]

29. If he's referring to the Mainstream Medias Attention, he may be right.

[txindy]

31. I'll take those words under advisement.

As if. This is how seriously Kenny is to be taken.

[Catherine Vincent]

33. Mehlman should go fuck himself.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. Sure, Gore wants people to watch him.

Since the administration continually defends their right to illegally watch ALL OF US, all the time, I don't see why they have a problem with that.

And WHAT law? You don't need no steeenkeen law, right, Ken?

[Cleita]

35. Considering he didn't get much coverage except on

C-SPAN, what attention is he getting? Another Puke said he's "always" doing this because he craves the spotlight. Er, this is the first time we have seen him really speak out since the stolen election of 2000, so how is it that he's "always" doing this?

These nutjobs are swimming in their own verbal puke.

[FreedomAngel82]

36. So why is his mug on the teevee?

:eyes:

[Kansas Wyatt]

37. What does Ken Mehlman & Bush's spy scandal have in common?

Bush had the NSA wiretap and data mine U.S. citizens, without any oversight.

Remember right after the 2004 Election? Ken Mehlman was on all the talk shows bragging about how successful they were at targeting voters like companies target consumers, by data mining.

Was Ken Mehlman bragging about a successful NSA covert operation, that benefited BushCo?
