This Monday: Bush to Meet with Gore

[blogslut]

As they say in the horror movies, "I got a bad feeling about this."

Bush will hold individual meetings with Ehud Olmert, the prime minister of Israel, and Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, at the White House on Monday. Bush will play host to each leader indiviually in the Oval Office – with meetings that are likely to overshadow the pre-scheduled appearances of this year's American winners of the Nobel Prize on Monday, including former Vice President Al Gore, who narrowly lost the White House to Bush in 2000.

Olmert arrives at the White House late Monday morning, Abbas early in the afternoon, Gore and company following close behind them, the White House announced this evening.

The meeting with Gore and fellow Nobel Laureates is billed as “a photo opportunity.''

How will The faker-in-chief try to upstage Mr. Gore? Is the plan to let the meetings with Olmert and Abbas take over the media coverage? I suppose little man could act like an adult but why start now?

1. If Gore had Balls

He would come out to the media and say "I was robbed, I won the election and they stole it"

[Subdivisions]

3. I think I would prefer him to have class. n/t

[upi402]

5. That would be class, the truth is class.

And speaking truth to power is courageous class.

[gateley]

12. That would take away from the other Prize winners, and I don't think Gore

would chance that.

[upi402]

17. F the prize winners, I want my democracy back!

sorry if I react- I'm still steamed about the betrayal of democracy, law, bill of rights, constitution, high crimes and misdemeanors, ad infinitum

[gateley]

18. As am I (still pissed) but saying that to Bush wouldn't get our democracy back.

It'd sure feel good, though. :evilgrin:

[upi402]

24. True, but being polite is not respected by their prison mentality. Hasn't worked well

They are bullies and cowards and need to be stood up to. Look em in the eye and say it out.

[brettdale]

6. Where have that got the democrats

Nancy has class and Bush is not impeached.

The only dem with any guts is Dennis.

9. if he had the balls he wouldn't meet w/the fuckhead or give him the

opportunity to get his picture taken with the real president.

if al is so busy w/environmental projects doesn't he have anything better to do than to get his picture taken with that liar, dimwit, piece of fucking crap squatting in the white house?

hey al! you got better things to do than run for president?? like what? getting your pic taken with george?

if he meets w/the bush i'm gonna lose some respect for him--i swear!

[Richard Steele]

11. Gore has more balls than a Beijing marble factory.

However he handles this upcoming meeting, I have no doubt
that it will paint a clear picture of a wise & thoughtful
man taking a few hours out of his day to TOLERATE the antics
of a poorly-disciplined & emotionally crippled CHILD.

B*sh will find a way to embarrass himself while Mr. Gore
stands silently nearby like a real grownup statesman-guy.

[orleans]

21. well, you take it however you want but i take it as a slap in the face

to all of us who wanted so desperately for him to run. (consorting with the enemy! blach!)

[blogslut]

23. You do know that the president meeting the laureates is tradition, right?

To be perfectly honest I was surprised that Dubya would do it this year. He's let Cheney do the deed before.

As for Mr. Gore, you want a hero? Be your own hero. You live through the crap that man has lived through and then come back and tell me how jumping again into the shark-infested waters is your duty.

2. Gore will meet with Olmert and Abbas and negotiate a peace agreement.

Then the Supreme Court will vote 5-4 to give Chimp credit for it.

[Subdivisions]

28. Props! Welcome to DU :-) n/t

[Rex]

4. Wow look at that big fat lie.

[blogslut]

8. Which one?

:)

[Rex]

10. "...who narrowly lost the White House to Bush in 2000."

I guess 'narrowly lost', could mean the SCOTUS decision. I'm sure they mean Bush won Florida fair and square.

[blogslut]

16. yes

that is a whopper. :hi:

[Rex]

20. I'm sure Gore will be his good self, like always.

I expect George to act like a spoiled child. :hi:

[blogslut]

22. Sounds about right

We'll see come Monday

[L. Coyote]

7. "Al Gore, who narrowly lost the White House to Bush in 2000" Yeah, 5-4!

After winning the voting fair and square, even after all the R's cheating and illegal voter purging.

We love you, President Gore!

[gateley]

13. God, do you think Bush even feels uncomfortable knowing he'll be facing the

guy he cheated? I hope he's squirming like a mofo.

[Froward69]

15. my fear is

bushyboy will have his photo taken and try to use it to show he is environmental. when he is really just mental.

[gateley]

19. I bet you're right. The man leaves me speechless. nt

[flordehinojos]

14. Standing next to Gore, or in front of him, may bush look and feel like the squirmish worm that he is

[OKNancy]

25. That settles it... Gore is a rightwing sympathizer!

Oh... he isn't just because he has a picture taken with him? Perhaps Bush will say something nice about him and THEN he will be a corporatist hack, right?
:sarcasm:

[sam sarrha]

26. ...turn your back on him Al....... please......please......

[Historic NY]

27. Maybe he will give him the keys to the oval office.

29. Kick

Today is the big day.

[blogslut]

30. Another kick

So, I'm guessing it will happen a little after noon - DC time (EST).
