Al Gore's Biography: "Bad Timing: A Presidential Obsession"


Gore, Nader, and Bush went on a boat trip. During their trip, the boat began to sink. As there were three of them, and only one life vest, they decided to vote on who would get it. They passed a hat around, then counted the ballots. Bush got one vote. Nader got one vote. Gore got seven votes.


"What's the difference between Al Gore and a puppy? After three weeks, a puppy opens its eyes and stops whining."


"Why hasn't Bush commented on the rulings? He said he didn't think the judges were ready because he saw them in their robes this morning."


"What's the difference between Al Gore's inauguration and George W's? For Al Gore's they need 400 balloons; for Dubya's, they would need 400 balloons and a clown."


"According to the latest polls, 60 per cent of americans want Al Gore to concede the election. The other 40 per cent are lawyers working for Al Gore."


"You've got George W. Bush's intelligence pitted against Al Gore's honesty. This looks like a case for the small-claims court."


"President Clinton said the Florida votes should be recounted or America will be embarrassed in front of the whole world. Yes, that's right. The President went on to say, "Remember, embarrassing America in front of the world is my job."


"George W. Bush is very excited about becoming President. In fact he called his dad to get the address of the White House."
