Why is that a point worth debating?


It is only worth debating when someone makes a claim beyond historical
reality.

You guys are trying to put way too much spin in this.
GWB followed a path that
others that I knew did either by choice, political
influence, or luck of the
draw. Algore clearly did the same with his assignment
as a press officer.

The fact that Al Gore could read and write probably helped but
your point is well made.


To me the only thing that is totally unfathomable is why a decorated Vietnam
vet would hook up with the likes of Jane Fonda and her crowd to protest the war
unless it was to gain political traction under a Republican president.


Politics does make for strange bedfellows. But also keep in in mind
when it was that Kerry left the Vietnam Veterans Against the War to
run for office.
