Braying Asses

What in the world would induce former Vice President Gore and the developer of the internet to suggest in Saudi Arabia that America violated the rights of lots of arabs after 9/11? There are several possible explanations:

1) Gore 2008 is beginning its campaign not in Iowa but in Riyad. Based on his work in Florida in 2000 he must still think that anyone can vote so long as it is for him.
2) Gore was courting the arab vote in Detroit but was afraid to go there.
3) Gore still believes he won the 2000 electoral college vote and thus he was speaking as the former president (since he did not choose to run for reelection in 2004) and wanted to sound as intelligent as Jimmy Carter does on foreign policy issues.
4) Gore could not get a speaking engagement in the US.
5) He thought since no sane person listens to him in the US that no one would notice in Saudi Arabia.
6) He was polishing his stand up comedy routine and Saudi Arabia was the only house where he could get a gig.
7) He was mistranslated although he spoke in English to press whose major language was English.
8) Gore, like his father, lives off the kindness of strangers and he was merely paying back an old friend.
9) He was misquoted and actually said he invented the internet while he and Tipper were inspiring Love Story after his valiant role as a war correspondent in Vietnam and failing out of two graduate programs.
10) Gore is a moron.

Hard choice, Huh?
