Gore is every bit as clueless and easily confused as Quayle was.  He's
got some real doozies as far as quotes go, such as "A zebra cannot
change its spots!" 

One of his best is "Remeber, every Communist government in Eastern
Europe fell in 100 days.  Now it's our turn here in the United States
of America!"  Of course he won't get the chance if Bill doesn't let
him come out and play more often.

What amazes me about the CIA is they would have such stoopid security
