A PRICELESS GORING...

Al Gore refuses to endorse Joe Lieberman — his former running mate — in Lieberman's re-election fight. (Nod to Ezra Klein ). I guess Lierberman would have been good enough to run the government if something bad happened to Gore. But he's not obviously the best qualified to be the junior senator from Connecticut, even though he had the same job when Gore tapped him in 2000.

It is entirely possible Al forgot that Joe came within a hanging chad of the 2nd most powerful job in the known universe. I will NEVER forget the video of he, Clinton and the dumpy gals touring the White House, and upon spying a bust of Washington Al asking "And who might that gentleman have been?"

The man simply isn't THAT-DUMB, kids, he's dumber.
