The Zong

For what it’s worth, the New York Observer has a neat little piece that gives me hope beyond hope that Al Gore is going to make a hero-style late entry into the 2008 race to Clean Up Bush’s Shit. There’s a quote in here that makes me long for the fall:

According to one influential Democratic insider, close associates of the former Vice President have communicated to him and other prominent fund-raisers who are uncommitted to the other ’08 candidates that Mr. Gore will consider entering the race—if an opening presents itself—in September.

This is like seeing a movie trailer around Christmas for some movie that you want to see so badly that you wish they’d just play it when the trailer’s over already because you can’t believe you paid to see “The Black Dahlia.” Then, after what seems like a half-hour of incredible snippets that make you think the movie’s almost done, the trailer ends, and what do you see?

“September, 2007″

What’s the tagline for the Gore campaign/movie posters?  “Gore 2008: Just You Fucking Wait.”
