Al's Joke Book...
You can't make this stuff up... this is a real book by one of the true idiots.
Even among his Capital buds, he's seen as a useful idiot and from those that have to work under him as an intolerable, rude and caustic bore.
I can't help but feel that the book cover was a billboard for Saturday Night Live... some Stuart Smiley take-off. Can you imagine the gales of laughter from friends and foe at seeing this book?
Two things I will always remember about Stuart...
(well, not counting his groping)
First, when he was heading up John Kerry's kickoff Central Park campaign for President he started a rousing five minute chant of, "F__k George Bush, F__k George Bush, F__k George Bush..." Great way to start.
Second, in Al's first US Senate election in Minnesota he was losing by a couple hundred votes... at the extreme last minute, a car was found in a snow-covered parking lot with 400 votes all for Al in the trunk... amazing, huh?
Now, can we bury the memory of this horrible human being?
