EXTRA! EXTRA! Michael Moore replaces Bush for "Miserable Failure"!

Even though many sh*ts and giggles came from watching George W. Bush's bio appear at number 1 for the serach of "Miserable Failure". I'm sad to report that Michael Moore (www.michaelmoore.com) has taken over the position at number 1. Even though I am heart broken I still feel that this position is well earned.

For those that dont know Micheal Moore. MM is a dark comedy documentary director/writer for such great hits as "Bowling for Columbine". An artistic portrayal of the gun crazy USA. And the also gritty "Roger and Me"; a documenary of a GM factory closing in Michigan where people are forced to skining rabbits to make a living and food. Both heart wrenching and truely moving still wont cut as deep as "Dude, Where's my Country". A heroic portrayal of America's struggle to fight a thunderous titan known as......George W. Bush. Get the book see the movie (out soon) put the kids to bed, laugh and cry. I feel an Oscar. *weeps*

HINT: Sarcasm. You know it's funny :p

I'm tempted to link to women molester Bill Clinton on up to 30 domains to try to get him #1 on that term, and try to get Al Gore listed first for the term 'Pathological Liar'.

You mean Al Gore "Creator of the Internet". Right?

"Robot" will work just fine too.

Blarg!!!!

According to the Public Broadcasting Service's "Net Timeline," the "creation" of the Internet happened between 1962 - 1969 when the Department of Defense came up with ARPA - Advanced Research Project Agency - and its small computer network called ARPANET. Vice President Gore served in the House of Representatives from 1977 - 1985 and in the Senate from 1985 - 1993. Source

And I invented the toothpick!!!!

We have two choices, ladies and gentlemen:

1. We can drop discussion of politics on this board.
2. I can explain in considerable detail why that miserable lying dishonorable chickenhawk currently befouling the Oval Office isn't worthy to shine the shoes of the rather good President who immediately preceded him, nor those of the capable public servant from whom the Supreme Court stole an election.

The decision is yours.

Curt do you think your the only one who can argue about politics and can somehow end the debate once and for all?

Give me a break. Others could easily argue the exact opposite from you and do just as well.

Hell I think it's funny.

Anyone can debate a point as long as it makes sense. Kinda like SEO :p

No screaming matches please.

-PK

I'm still seeing Bush at#1 - Moore is #2

I think these things are hilarious - thanks to the people who post them - and to the ones who DO them!

For a short time if you went to www2 Moore was #1.

Quite so. But either both sides are going to be argued here, or neither side is going to be argued here.

And I have a strong guess that the forum owners, the forum moderators, and most of the forum participants would prefer "neither".

I'm actually in the minority that would prefer to argue politics, but so be it ...

This definitely isnt the best place to argue politics but poking fun of funny results is amusing

Everyone has a right to believe what they choose to believe and none of us is in any position to try and sway someone's way of thinking. Pro, Con, Neutral. Doesn't matter. We are here to help each other out not say who is right or wrong.

how about taking this to the General Chat and Gossip forum instead of here?

Pathological Liar huh? Al Gore misspoke, but his comments regarding the internet were taken way out of context. Given the hypocrisy of the right wing, I am not surprised that outrageous comments such as these are thrown around without any regard for the truth. Sometimes it seems criticism tells us more about the person issuing the criticism than the person to whom it was intended. This seems to be the case here.

For misspeaking, no one holds a candle to Geo. W, except probably Ronald Reagan, but at least Reagan had Alzheimer's. Geo. W is just plain stupid.

A much bigger transgression against the truth were those 16 words in the State of the Union Address. But then it was his speach writer's fault. :-D Geo. W just uses the old Ronald Reagan defense: the president is incompetant. It was someone else's fault.

"Just as Rick never said "Play it again, Sam," in Casablanca, Al Gore never claimed to have "invented the Internet."

SNIP
"Although Al Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet, he did discuss his role in Internet development in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of Cable News Network. The interview took place on March 9, 1999 during CNN's "Late Edition" show. Specifically, what Gore said was "I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

A cynic might observe that "creating the Internet" and "inventing the Internet" are tantamount to the same exaggeration. But let's look at the entire quote in the context of the colloquy with Blitzer. Here is Blitzer's entire query to Gore:

BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now.
Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?

Clearly, Blitzer is asking Gore to offer an explanation of how he differs as a politician from other politicians in general, and his rival at the time, Bill Bradley, in particular. Here is Gore's entire response to Blitzer's question:

GORE: Well, I will be offering - I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

During a quarter century of public service, including most of it long before I came into my current job, I have worked to try to improve the quality of life in our country and in our world. And what I've seen during that experience is an emerging future that's very exciting, about which I'm very optimistic, and toward which I want to lead.

Here Gore appears to have been caught off guard a bit by the question, rambling a bit as he seeks to vocalize a responsive answer. He emphasizes his work during his years in the Congress - Gore served in the House and later the Senate - as well as his leadership on various issues. Perhaps not showing the most elegant variation in words, he mentions "initiative" three times. Clearly his overall message is that he worked hard on a number of issues, and took a leadership position relative to others - presumably including his rival Bradley. The overall thrust is that Gore paints himself as a forward-looking legislator and political leader.
