AlGorisms

Not trying to start a

political debate, that's why they are in humor. Simply found them funny and wanted to share.

Seems like I saw this same list with

George Bush in front of all those quotes. I think someone just took the list and switched the names and touche up a

couple of the quotes, no?

[belgareth]

Possibly. But some of them are

definately Al Gore's own. I recognise several.

Like I said, it was for the humor factor, regardless of who said

it.

Do you know who the Spoonerism is named after? A university professor. He's brilliant but makes verbal

gaffs constantly.
