From two years ago today:
I was thinking a little about Al Gore.
You remember the reaction when Gore sighed during one of the 2000 presidential debates after Bush had said something particularly ignorant? I got to thinking that if instead of sighing — if in fact Gore did sigh — and if in fact sighing is a sign of elitism — Gore might better have said to Bush, “You stupid son-of-a-bitch.”
If he had, I think Gore could have taken the popular vote by more than 500,000.
Oh, wait. Gore did take the popular vote by more than 500,000.
