After a long, tedious political season, what was once one of the most exciting times in politics has become arduous and painful. Hilary Clinton has become a laughing stock, and she’s eerily close to becoming the next Al Gore: A politician who could have been but makes so many bad decisions America just sees them as a big cry-baby.
Last night I caught a bit of of the HBO telefilm, Recount (which has a great logo, btw), and it was interesting reliving those events as a much older, much wiser, and fortunately, much smarter human being.

Like so many others, I thought Al Gore was being a little bitch. Here it was, very clear that George W. Bush had won the election, and Al Gore just wouldn’t give it up. Time and again, after every recount was done, the news reported that GWB had gotten the majority of the votes. But still, Gore kept going, kept trying, kept pushing and with each passing minute, the good-will of the American people started to erode.
Hilary, you should pay attention.
