“Al Gore is accusing the Bush administration of showing ‘impatience and disdain‘ toward US allies in the war in Afghanistan.

“He said it is crucial the administration show ‘a more evident respect’ for the coalition it has built or that alliance could quickly crumble,” Ananova reports.

Well, what can I say here that John Cole hasn’t already said? — except maybe to note that if Al Gore really does decide to run for President in 2004, hopefully he’ll have the good sense to hire Darrell Hammond to play him on the campaign tour.

That way, he’d only be a parody of a parody of himself, ‘stead of just a plain ol’ parody of himself, which is far less flattering.
