At Least Gore is Still Debating Bush

Who better to analyze the decline and fall of the American economy than the man who lays claim to the dubious distinction of "the first one laid off" by George W. Bush?

I'm talking, of course, about Al Gore, the former vice president whose claim on the presidency was rejected in 2000 not by a majority of the country's voters, but by a partisan Supreme Court.

In a speech last week at New York University, Gore laid out a convincing case for how Americans have been duped by the Bush administration into an unnecessary war in Iraq and an economic catastrophe at home.

This disastrous doubleheader came about without sufficient public debate, Gore said, because in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, a frightened public and a cowed Congress were only too willing to accept Bush's claims at face value.

Until recently, the news media have been willing accomplices by failing to ask the tough questions, perhaps out of fear of sounding unpatriotic.

1. Gore seems to be saying Bush is running USA the same was Lay ran Enron!

He is right, isn't he?.

Bush is eronizing the USA.
