Someone must have just turned him onto Sylvia Plath.

Well, when he lost the election, I compared him to a 12yo girl eating her way through heartache. I guess now he’s worked his way up to a 16yo girl writing poems about how no one understands. Ya big baby. I can’t stand people who take themselves too seriously.

Was this poem for nihilistic aestheticism or is he supposed to be the new Nostradamus?

Gore is the closest thing we have to a modern William Jennings Bryan.

Think next time ol’ Al does a reading he should do it, while inhaling helium.

Actually, it turns out that when he finally got a look at his birth certificate when applying for a passport, he discovered that his first name really was “Frank”. (And I betcha something similar is in our Community-Organizer-in-Chief’s paperwork…)

But my real reason for this reply is to ask why there’s no mention of Manbearpig in any of these poems?

Sorry about the anonymous sig. Dumped cookies, or rather lost them on Gore’s poem! That was my Betty Davis imitation above.

In the best Betty Davis voice I can possibly muster on the printed page, “What a bunch of s**t!”

A) Dear Mr. Ex-VP, the only time I wanna hear non-rhyming poetry, it’s from the mouth and mind of Francesco Zappa. You know, the guy who took you and your tight-assed cohorts in the Senate to task back in the mid-80s. That’s right, lib trolls, that big PMRC censorship-fest you always try to pin on conservatives was spearheaded by Tipper and then Senator Gore.

B) Nice try with the “city on the hill” nod. Whattsamatayou, not “shining” due to India and China’s smog?
