1. He's all over those Bush war criminals, isn't he?

8. Are you paying any attention?

I really like Gore and want him to run, but this piece was surfaced by the right-wing noise machine to make Gore look bad. Gore was talking about Bush the Elder not Shrub. And the content is being distorted by the right to suggest Gore thought Bush wasn't being tough enough on Saddam. Basically, they are trying the old flip-flop card again. It's a bullshit distortion. But this video is not something to cheer.

10. Of course I'm paying attention.

My apologies. I forgot my "sarcasm" sign. My bad.

11. Sorry.

It looked like a party celebrating this video. Meanwhile, I'm aggravated that the noise machine is at it again.

Sorry for the assumption.

12. No worries.

6. Is this the one Drudge put up that is from 1992?

There is a troll Diary on it on Daily Kos.

He was going after Poppy Bush.

7. Rush Limbaugh apparently played the audio from this on his show today

So we already know that the right is digging up dirt on Gore in anticipation of his run. The thing is, if one listens to the entirety of this piece, Gore is slamming Bush the Elder for SUPPORTING Saddam. Instead, Rush's spin was that Gore was criticizing Bush for "ignoring the Iraq terror ties".
