I can't claim that Gore was "my guy". He just seemed less dangerous to me personally than Dubya and his pals. And I'm <em>accepting</em> that Bush won. He just still scares me. I'm still not convinced he can really read. Especially when I hear him speak. Ronnie we knew could read--if teh Teleprompter quit he'd have been as aphasic as he is today--but I don't know if any processing ever went on between input and output. <a href="http://slate.msn.com/Features/bushisms/bushisms.asp"> Bushisims </a>are clearly internally generated. <p>

How about "before he became Governor of Texas"?<p>

Uh...what? I could have sworn that the right wing was up in arms becuase they thought judges were making law by interpreting it. Where do you get the idea that jurists don't want to interpret law?
