Al Gore is a Biblical Genius

08-24-2000, 06:35 PM

When Al announced the selection of Joe Lieberman, he admits that Joe started quoting a verse from the Bible, and then Al finished the quote.

Al states, "It was a verse of thanksgiving. I think from the book of Prophets or Psalms, from the old testament." [i]Quote from August 21st issue of Newsweek.[/i]

Al is playing the media like a harp. If Dan Quayle had made this statement a decade ago, the press would have had a field day.

Let's rip this statement apart:

#1. Yes, Al, it is a quote from the Old Testament. Since Joe is Jewish he studies only the first five books of the Bible - known as the Pentateuch. Good guess, Mr. Genius. For someone that can quote scripture, you don't seem very well versed, [b]pun intended[/b], in the scripture's structure.

#2. Psalms is not in the Pentatuech, so I sincerely doubt that Joe was quoting that particular book.

#3. The Prophets is not a book in the Bible, per se. There are several prophets studied by the Jewish faith, but no book with that particular name in the Bible. Perhaps you meant "Proverbs", but if so you are still wrong.

Al, if you are going to construct loving Christian moments for the media with your wife and running mate, at least do ALL of your homework.
