It seems like the Bush Administration is having a lot of trouble, especially as of late. In July, former Surgeon General Richard Carmona testified that that top officials in the administration tried to weaken and suppress important public health reports for "political considerations." Also this summer, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales embarrassingly resigned amid a hail storm of controversy regarding alleged perjury when testifying about the firing of a number of US attorneys. Oh, and let us not forget Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld... Who could? It seems that Bush's entire tenure is marked and marred with corruption and controversy. So this statement from former President Jimmy Carter is not at all shocking. In fact, it's completely natural in the line of everything else this administration has been accused of.

Well, at least there's one person who can be glad that George Bush "won" presidency in 2000. Yep, you guessed it, former Vice President Al Gore. Why, if he hadn't "lost" to Dubya, he might be caught up in the same ridiculous political circus the US Government has made of itself. He might even be wallowing in some awful and pointless war following a major terrorist attack. Instead, though, he's basking in the spotlight, hobnobbing with the stars, and winning both Academy Awards and Nobel Peace Prizes. And he's also pulling huge support from the liberal youth ... many people would support his presidential candidacy. But he doesn't want it. He knows he can do something so much better, and so much more important. And he is.
