Caption Gore
Posted by Jon Henke

DNC Convention preview: in an unfortunate speech, Al Gore says...

"WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, HISTORY IS ON OUR SIDE. WE WILL BURY YOU!"
...inviting unfortunate comparisons to Joseph Biden. Among others.

UPDATE: I'm just assuming that everybody gets the obscure references in the caption above. You should.

Make sure you read the partial fisking of his speech, too.

Such a bitter pathetic man. I'm so glad he lost, I hope that despair consumes him in his every waking moment. I hope he wakes up everyday knowing he came thisclose and failed, and I hope that failure haunts him for the rest of his sad, insignificant life

"Critics said that Mr. Gore, best known for his monotonal speech and wooden countenance, didn't have what it took to be a televangelist. They said he lacked the fire, the passion, the slicked back hair and cheap suit, and, most of all, the testicular component and willingness to say anything, no matter how absurd, that was required. Today Mr. Gore proved the critics wrong."

"...And I did so invent the internet, dammit!"

"In a speech virtually guaranteed to start a legal fight, today Mr. Gore openly flaunted Dr. Dean's recently granted patent on the 'Yeargh! Moment'."

"...Then Mr. Gore launched into a rousing rendition of 'Highway to Hell' sung, as has become his custom, backwards."

"...And I would have won, too, if not for those meddling Supremes!"

There was a brief pause in the former vice-president's speech as he coughed up a hairball the size of a grapefruit.

"Washingtonienne was right, A man who tries to fuck you in the ass when you are sober does not love you. Damn you Bill Clinton!"

"Surely nobody will doubt the fact that during the last four years a revolution of the most momentous character has passed like a storm over the United States. Who could compare this new United States with that which existed on the 21st of January three years ago, when George Bush took the Presidential Oath of Office from the venerable President of the Reich -- er, that is, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?"

No, the thread does *not* automatically end; I didn't actually *say* the H-word. Or the N-word.

Krushchev at the UN...'50s. Jon, was that the time he was pounding his shoe on the lectern?

Yep - Kruschev. And for lifting the speech? Biden.
