Weighed in the balance
In a sidebar on his Greatest Hits page, Mark Steyn observes under the heading "HIS MOST EXCELLENT HIGHNESS PRINCE TURKI AL-GORE GIVES MAGNIFICENT SPEECH SMITING ZIONIST CRUSADERS!":
Sheikh, prattle, and roll over:The New York Post renders judgment in "Perfidious princes and ex-veeps." And Investors Business Daily rings the bell in "The shame of Al Gore."
This may be the all-time great example of Gore's tone-deafness. He's attacking Bush for not kissing up to the House of Saud enough. Even those in the most advanced stages of Bush Derangement Syndrome know that that's a loser - half of Fahrenheit 9/11 is devoted to the President's cosiness with Bandar, Abdullah and co. With this speech, Sheikh al-Gore sets an impressive new standard of insanity that even star performers like Kerry, Dean, Kennedy, Leahy and Biden will find very hard to match.
