Gore Invents Internet AGAIN!

James Taranto notes in the on-line WSJ Opinion Journal that the former Veep is still laboring under serious delusionary handicaps. The form of his current battles with reality takes the shape of incredible mindless exaggerations, much like the ones in his failed presidential attempt in 2000.

His current rant goes like this, with Taranto's set-up:

"I genuinely believe that American democracy faces a time of trial and challenge right now more serious than any that we have ever faced," Al Gore told an audience in West Palm Beach, Fla., yesterday. Naturally, he isn't referring to America's enemies but to President Bush, as the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports:

Gore cited a litany of issues, including the Bush administration's assertions of executive power, its fumbled response to Hurricane Katrina and its backing of a secret, domestic surveillance program, warrantless searches and interrogation methods used in Iraq and the war on terror.

This is a threat to democracy "more serious than any that we have ever faced"? More serious than the the Whiskey Rebellion, the Civil War or Reconstruction? During his 2000 campaign, Gore became known for a penchant to exaggerate, but this is the biggest exaggeration ever!

The hysterical and moronic local mayor was quoted thus:

"This [Palm Beach County] was the scene of a crime," said West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel, whose son, Marine Capt. Benjamin Lubin, has served in Afghanistan.

"We're very proud of him," Frankel said of her son. "But I can tell you, if Al Gore had been president, my son would not have been at war."

"Does Frankel really think that President Gore would not have responded militarily to 9/11?" Taranto asks.

I live down the road and can attest to the fact that Frankel's mental illness approaches the hyperventilating Chicken Little Gorebot's in intensity. South Florida is becoming a replica of South Bronx, and Gresham's Law is prevailing.
