No doubt, one of the things former Vice President Al Gore expected on Friday was to come face to face with the head in the sand crowd. However, even he was likely a bit surprised when Rep.

The Ding-a-ling Factor © UPDATE: Six years later, it's important to note that Rush Limbaugh was likely high as a kite on Oxycontin when he did his “Ding-a-ling” show. Rush has now been reduced to a mug shot and a punch line. Proudly he stands, his head held high, a confident look on [...] [...more]
He strode through the throng of people on the convention floor, absorbing their energy as he went, as if he were storing up all the power he could muster for a job that was just beginning. It was his moment to [...] [...more]
