How Defensible is Gore's Charge that Bush is a Pawn of the NRA?

"Charge: A few days ago, Gore charged that Bush "would take the gun lobbyists out of the lobby and put them right into the Oval Office." Gore was referring to a clandestine videotape in which an NRA official boasted that if Bush won, "we'll have a president ... where we work out of their office." Elaborating, Gore Press Secretary Chris Lehane commented, "This tape is the proverbial smoking gun that proves once and for all that George W. Bush is in the hip holster of the gun lobbyists."

"Rebuttal: "It'll be my office. I'll make the decisions as to what goes on in the White House," Bush responded.

"Analysis: The charge that the NRA will be in the Oval Office is a metaphor as is the charge that Bush is in the NRA's pocket. What is required to sustain them is not literal proof, but support for the assertion that Bush's policies do not differ in any substantial way from those of the NRA. Bush defenders cite three examples of his independence from the group: 1) A few months ago, when NRA President Wayne LaPierre suggested that Clinton and Gore were willing to accept a certain amount of gun violence for political reasons, Bush distanced himself from the remarks; 2) Bush supports mandatory trigger locks and the NRA doesn't; and 3) Bush supports running background checks on purchasers at gun shows and the NRA doesn't. On closer examination, however, these differences recede into near-irrelevance. In March, when LaPierre said that Clinton had "blood on his hands," Bush tepidly averred that LaPierre "may have gone too far." Bush has spoken skeptically about trigger locks for guns. He has said that he might sign a bill mandating them but not that he would push for one. On the gun show loophole, Bush and the NRA find common ground on "instant" background checks. In any case, Bush's differences with the NRA are minor in comparison with the major areas where they agree: Handguns shouldn't have to be registered, people should be able to carry concealed weapons, and gun manufacturers should be immune from product liability suits.

"Verdict: Gore's charge is defensible. Bush hasn't broken with the NRA on any significant issue." --Jacob Weisberg, 5/10/00

"The NYT reports that Al Gore was a big hit telling jokes on the campaign trail yesterday. The Times says that Gore trotted out a "Borscht Belt" routine for a largely Jewish audience. His theme was Jewish Country and Western music. Gore cited such examples as: "I Was One of the Chosen People--Until She Chose Somebody Else," "The Second Time She Said 'Shalom,' I Knew She Meant Goodbye." And "I've Got My Foot on the Glass, Now Where Are You?" Gore said the Number One song in the genre was "Mommas, Don't Let Your Ungrateful Sons Grow Up to Be Cowboys When They Could Very Easily Just Have Taken Over the Family Business That My Own Grandfather Broke His Back to Start and My Father Sweated Over for Years, Which Apparently Doesn't Mean Anything Now That You're Turning Your Back on Such a Gift." Apparently these all went over great. Homework assignment: Try to explain what makes these jokes (told by a Southern Baptist) ok to put in the paper. In other words, which ethnic stereotypes are ok for papers to pass along verbatim to their readers and which not? It would be interesting to see if, for instance, the NYT news coverage repeated verbatim the joke about blacks that got Earl Butz fired." --Slate, 5/10/00

To George, On the Occasion of His Late Fundraiser

George, be not proud, though some have called thee
Civility's son, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou thinkest thou wouldst overthrow
Lie not, poor George, nor yet canst thou fool me.
From rest and sleep, which thy long speeches cause,
Much pleasure; then much more from thee must flow,
And soonest thy best men with thee do go
Straight to the spin, Roves, Fleischers and Allbaughs.
Thou'art slave to cash, kooks, guns and desperate men,
And dost with ozone, oil, and sickness dwell,
And Mr. Gore can make us sleep as well
And better than thy bleat; why swell'st thou then?
One short vote past, thou fade'st into the bunch,
And Mr. Gore shall rise to eat thy lunch.

--Doris in Des Moines
