The Boston Herald Goes Feral

... on Al Gore.

And this man - who apparently has so much disdain for the nature of the American people - wanted to be elected to lead it?

It is Gore who has brought dishonor to his party and to his party's nominee. The real disgrace is that this repugnant human being once held the second highest office in this great land.

Wow. I can't believe such unequivocal, common-sense smack-down is coming from the editorial staff of a major mainstream newspaper. It gives one hope.

I'm...stunned.

The Herald is a Murdoch paper, for whatever that matters.

Oh, I see. Not so strange then.

I'm not very familiar with Boston's newspapers. I made a incorrect assumption.

Still, strong words, eh? Not on a blog?

Must point out, though, that the NYTimes-owned Globe had a similar editorial today, though Web-only.

My local paper (the Press-Enterprise, out here in California) had a similar editorial line today (they're owned by Belo, which I don't think is Murdoch-owned.) Their opening line, if I recall correctly, was, "Thank God for the Electoral College." (Then they went onto the usual bit about how disgraceful his screaming was.)

Of course, this seems to be his new thing. The Dean endorsement seems to have driven him a little wild, I guess. He pulled something similar back during the primaries.

Ahh... Leave Al alone.

The poor guy has obviously been gazing at too many bar codes and it has scrambled his bio-mechanical innards.

Normally associated with a static electricity jolt, it appears all the unused Dean campaign posters (with mandatory bar codes) Gore has been sleeping with has sent him into previously unknown droid territory.

Calling Dr. Spock!... Dr. Spock!
