"McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day."

What for, the outburst or the hair loss?

Ha ha! :D No, it was an email through the Obama campaign because I've contributed to it in the past. I still think Gore's an alarmist, but he can certainly help bring votes to Obama, who I view as more of a realist. Ends justifying the means in this case. ;)

He probably meant it regarding his wife, who somehow thought it was okay to fool around with his 'do ;)

there is absolutely no way i accept this anecdote as truth.

Al Bore sent me an e-mail too. It was boring.

I have some trouble with accepting this too. I did a quick search for the quote, and every site that was carrying a story about it seemed less than respectable. They were all like blogs and such.

i'm not saying i refuse to believe he has a temper. or that he's never cussed it up a notch in front of his wife and reporters. or that he never snapped at someone in a way that wasn't terribly flattering. hell, most politicians at that level have a mean temper. both clinton and bush are said to be fairly temperamental men.

it's just.... do we really think that story doesn't sound like something that will end up debunked on snopes in 3 days? it reeks of campaign shenanigans. reeks, i say.

He was referring to Nixon.

Or maybe it was me?

Re: U.S. Presidential Election 2008
 

And it seems that exaggerated stories are kind of unnecessary with McCain anyway. He's providing Obama's campaign with all they need every time McCain takes a stance on an issue.

He's suddenly flipped his stance on offshore drilling for oil, and I was in agreement with him on his old stance regarding it.

He's blasted the Supreme Court ruling that detainees being held in Guantanamo ("Gitmo" for Janie ;)) should be allowed to "have the constitutional right to challenge their detention in civilian courts", which to me is a sensible ruling.

And he's still out there pushing that ridiculous "gas tax holiday" plan that virtually every economist has derided as a counter-productive, fundamentally flawed idea.

And yet those idiots who now call themselves PUMA...former Hillary Clinton supporters who want Obama to lose the election...still don't seem to recognize why their current stance is idiotic, or even that it's idiotic in the first place.
