Gore's Continuous Lies May Be Linked To Penis Envy

[KCWolfman]

Okay, I think I understand why Al Gore continually extrapolates every statement. It is penis envy.

Al is interviewed in Rolling Stone Magazine this week. His picture appears on the cover. Not surprising the interview is done by a fund raiser for Al for the last year.

The columnist admits to not being please with the picture on the cover and having an artist air brush his crotch in an attempt to enhance the area.

So now AL can add the lie *holding his hands apart* "It's this big, really!"

This campaign has past the border and now reigns in the land of PATHETIC.

What tabloid did you get this out of? The only pathetic thing is that Bush is such a horrible candidate your arguments have lowered to "Al gore has penis envy".

[Mile High Mania]

Weak... really Russ, this is bording on Vance territory.

I'll admit that I'm voting for Gore, if for nothing other than Bush appears to be about as smart as I am and I can't imagine me being in command of the most powerful nation in the world. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Yes, Gore gets caught twisting up his li'l stories to flow with his message. But, Bush basically just says ... "Look what I did in Texas, I'm about bringing democrats and republicans together ... I'm the only gov to be elected to back2back 4 year terms... he's part of the Clinton era..."

Both of their political schtick gets old...

[KCWolfman]

Brad - Mark my words, this will be a national story tomorrow......

[Cannibal]

You partisan conservatives have stooped to a new low.

Talking about the man's privates?!

Sounds like an obsession to me... check that, more like an infatuation.

[TEX]

Did the same artist enhance a picture of Bush's head so it would appear that he had a brain??<P>

[Clint in Wichita]

Maybe you think Bush has huge, throbbing schlong.

[Cannibal]

Either that, or he thinks Bush has a bush.

[Ugly Duck]

OK, OK. NOW I'm convinced. Who can argue with the Wolfman's impeccable logic? Bush MUST be the better choice to lead the country because somebody touched up the weenie area of a Gore photo. Ya got me - I voting for Bush!

[KCWolfman]

Obviously you are all either intentionally dense or you cannot see the forest for the trees...

This man's whole life is a lie, it has been proven again and again over the last 6 months. He has taken the ultimate juvenile lie and attempted to hide his self-perceived inadequacy.

This has nothing to do with the man's size or lack thereof, it has everything to do with the fact that it is one more thing he feels he has to lie about.

Here's an archive of Gore's Broken Promises, from the campaign website of Ralph Nader:

[TheFly]

Hey, I know of several million soccer moms who voted for Bill because he was handsome...
So who's to say? If lots of folk like what they see on the cover of Rolling Stone, maybe Al will be the next President!

[DaWolf]

OK, but your initial post makes it sound like it was the columnist who wasn't pleased with it and had it airbrushed. Are you saying that Gore told them to airbrush? And BTW, what is the source?

Either way, I thought it was a good article. Now if the Doritos Girl was running for Prez and I found out she had been enhanced, I might be a little upset... http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

DaWolf - They were talking about the job on his, well you know, on [i]The View</i>

[DanT]

I didn't know you could get a "mountain" background for your Wal-Mart photos. What a clown. I've gotten Easter Portraits of friends' little girls that were less staged than this one.

[DaWolf]

C'mon, it's Rolling Stone. What did you expect, a down to earth photo? They're trying to sell to their crowd. All their photos are staged...

[chief_red_pants]

it didnt take long for you Clinton haters to let go of his cock only to grab Al's...

BTW...penis envy is described as a woman's desire of to have the power endowed upon men at birth.

[KCWolfman]

Chief Red Pants - Regarding Penis Envy: You said it, not me.

[chief_red_pants]

maybe I should have put the word power in quotes. Anyway, 'penis envy' has nothing to do with a man's desire to have a larger penis. The concept was concieved by S. Freud.

As a female, the only time I wish I had a penis would be so I could pee anytime and anywhere I needed to!

http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

oh to be able to pee out the car window

[KCWolfman]

Red Pants - Once more, you have missed the irony.... Gore is obviously not a man if during a presidential campaign he and his advisors are worried more about the perceived size of his penis than the issues at hand.

Pam - LOL. I am glad that I am not driving beside you.

[DaWolf]

Wolfman,
I may be wrong, but I think you are getting the facts wrong in this case. I just saw this from Drudge (not the most reliable source, but where else do you go for crotch related news?)

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED OCT 18, 2000 21:29:51 ET XXXXX

ERECTION ELECTION: ROLLING STONE AIRBRUSHES GORE'S CROTCH ON COVER

Publishers row was stunned late Wednesday after it was revealed how ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE had air-brushed Vice President Al Gore’s crotch region in a jaw dropping cover spread in it’s Nov. 9th issue.

ROLLING STONE editor in chief Jann Wenner had no comment on a report from the online service INSIDE.COM which first detailed the Gore photo shoot.

Gore’s protruding portrait actually had to be brought down a bit , according magazine insiders.

The khaki-clad Gore appeared erect in the original photos which were later modified.

The photos accompany an extended interview with Gore by Wenner. Wenner has become a top supporter of the vice president, traveling on the campaign trail and hosting a star-studded fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York.


From the way it sounds, Gore had nothing to do with it, it was totally a decision made by the magazine people, so I don't think blaming Gore is fair. And they had to reduce it, not enhance it.

That's about as long as I'm willing to talk about a guy's crotch. I'm going to give up on this topic now... http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif

[Luzap]

DaWolf,

I could really care less about this 'issue', but I can tell you with 99% certanty what happened...

In a move designed to make Al Gore appear more the Alpha Male, Rolling Stone Magazine leaked a rumor that they had to reduce his crotch area (because he is obviously a virile man's man).

This is exactly the same strategy that Gore/Clinton have used many times. Leak something that is supposedly leaked by the other side, then blame the other side for leaking it (and spin it so it makes you look good anyway).

Ingenious, but false as can be.

Luz
yawn...<BR>

[DaWolf]

And let the spin begin! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif

Frankly, I'm not even sure that I trust the story at all in the first place. Drudge and inside.com and the View aren't the first place I look for info.

But again, this is another case of forgetting about issues and just focusing on superficial things that we can nitpick on. This should be a non story, IMO. It has nothing to do with policy, and the editing, if done, sounds like it was done totally on the part of the magazine, not Gore. So I echo your yawn, next topic... http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Desert Chief]

Did he really have to post this garbage ?

In a week when the Chiefs play "The Team of the Millenium" and there's not enough to comment on?

And he's a moderator as well. To bad he's not moderate in his opinions. The novelty of this site is aging quickly.<P>

[Ugly Duck]

Do we really believe that Gore's campaign dudes have so much pull that they can force a magazine to make Gore's weenie look bigger? Do we really believe they actually care? I thought you guys were kidding, but I almost think that you're actually serious! Funny how first Clinton was the Devil incarnate. Now that Gore is the Demo candidate, HE is become the Lord of the Demons. Come off it, you guys!

[Michael Michigan]

Duck-

Remember a couple of weeks back when we discussed Cal. The latest:

Meanwhile, Gore's vote base has eroded, according to the poll. California, once considered a safe state for Gore, has now become a lean for Gore. And Washington, Iowa, and New Hampshire are now considered up for grabs after leaning towards Gore last week.

[Brock]

Conservatives must be very worried if they have to manufacture (non)issues such as this one.

[Michael Michigan]

Hmmm---latest Gallup has it 49-39

[KC Jones]

This obsession of yours is starting to remind me of Packfan's obsession with Carl Peterson. Your bicycle wasn't run over by a democratic canidate when you were little was it?

[Mile High Mania]

This is why I hate politics... incredibly stupid discussions like this.

I'm really shocked that Russ and Luz have jumped on this. Despite the fact that you guys like KC and you're republicans, I love reading your rants. However, this is just dumb ... I mean, Vance dumb.

[Luzap]

Mile High,

What's 'dumb' in my book are people that after eight years still can't detect a propaganda tactic.

I have no problem discerning the strategies and tactics of both sides in this (or any) campaign. I can't imagine why you would criticize anyone for discussing the tactics the democrats (in this case) are using.

I can understand you not being happy that 'your' party is using such obviously apparent tactics, but criticize the DNC for using them, not us for recognizing it.

Luz
or could it be possible that some of you really can't see through this???...

[Mile High Mania]

I can see through all of this...

Let me ask you this, are telling me that Bush has no skeletons in his closet? He's 100% pure American Boy?

Are you telling me that Bush and his 'campaign' are innocent of any wrongdoing or mischevious campaign tactics?

I admit that Gore and DAMN NEAR EVERY politician out there is guilty of doing something along these lines.

Is Gore and his campaign guilty of this more than most? Probably. So, you want everyone to vote for Bush/Cheney because they are less guilty and haven't been caught yet. Believe, some skeletons will fall out of that Republican closet...

I'm just waiting for your spin. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Mile High Mania]

"I can understand you not being happy that 'your' party is using such obviously apparent tactics, but criticize the DNC for using them, not us for recognizing it."

Sorry, forgot to respond to this piece...

This statement is your opinion. You say that b/c the democrats in the past have leaked news and stated it was 'leaked' from another source just to make them look good, that it's happening here too.

"It happened in the past with these guys, so it has to be fact in this case."

Settle down, Rush...<P>

[Phobia]

I think everyone knows I'm conservative but I don't participate in these "discussions" with the passion Russ & Luz do. I'm not sure Kyle has listed his political affiliation publicly, FWIW.

I agree with others, I think this latest "controversy" should be put to bed. It's silly and should be viewed as more entertainment value rather than an indication of which way to cast your vote.

Not to mention, there is some dispute as to which way the story actually happened. I, too, heard that the picture initially depicted Gore's "excitement" towards the prospect of occupying the oval office. I think we've all been bamboozled with this story. Move on to the next issue, please.

[Clint in Wichita]

How many of you broads are going to commit suicide if for some reason Gore is elected? Jesus, I've never heard so much whining and crying in my life. Do you people do this in every election year?

[Luzap]

Mile High Mania,

Settle down, we're having a friendly discussion here.

And yes, I think using past experience is a valid tool for understanding someone's actions ~ we use this same mechanism in our courts, as parents, and even in our Fairy Tails (The Boy Who Cried Wolf). I stated that this was my opinion. I also stated that I am 99% certain of it.

What I may not have made clear, is that I don't necessarily think that this is a pre-planned tactic by the Gore campaign. It wouldn't surprise me, but it could just as easily have been the editor of Rolling Stone 'doing his part' for the cause. Such has the ethics of politics become today.

I have never said that the republicans don't also spin and propagandize. The two sides have different styles and manytimes use different tactics, but they both have their strategies ~ I have discussed this many times.

Lastly, if you are truly a Gore supporter I could understand you wanting to withdraw from following the contest. As Bush pulls ahead, the Gore campaign becomes more desperate. My prediction is that these type of 'cheezy' unsubstantive tactics will become more frequent and more obnoxious the closer we get to November 4.

Luz
enjoying the analysis...

[Mile High Mania]

Luz... no need to settle down on my side. I apologize if it seems that way.

Yes, democrats and republicans do use different tactics and strategies... but, one is no more moral than the other.

As for the editor of Rolling Stone - I don't think it's too hard to imagine that magazine being a bit democratically biased with or without the suggestions or aid of the Gore campaign.

[Brock]

Yo, Kurt Surber, or Slurper, or Furburger or whatever your name is (regular time-waster at work): Way to keep it civil, buddy.

[Brock]

Nineteen days before the election, the race now stands at 44 percent for the Texas governor and 43 percent for the vice president in the poll of 1,207 likely voters conducted on Monday through Wednesday by pollster John Zogby. The results remain well within the margin of error of plus or minus three points and Zogby called it a ``dead heat.''

[Luzap]

And your point is?

Luz
???

[KC Jones]

Now here's the sort of wacko environmentalism I think we could all find acceptable. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

<a href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001019/od/loggers_dc_1.html">wacko environmentalism even Luz and Russ might support</a>

[Ugly Duck]

Hey Michigan.....Yeah, I came to the conclusion that Bush would win after I saw the media reaction to the 2nd debate. I thought he would be the 1st modern day pres to win without California. Still might happen. Its very disappointing.

This thread is kinda sad, too. If Luz is just keeping up the propaganda heat against Gore to try and sway a few undecided readers, I can live with that, no problemo. He's passionate about his beliefs and wants to stop the Socialists from taking over the country, I can live with that, no problemo.

But I just cannot ascertain from his responses if he really believes that Gore's campaign wants to make his weenie look bigger. If he actually does believe that, it takes an awful lot of steam out of his other anti-Gore and anti-Clinton rants. Not that I accepted all of his anti-Demo rants, Its just that they seem more extremist when placed alongside the WeenieGate theory.

Say it ain't so, Luz. You were my favorite rightwinger, don't lose credibility by supporting WeenieGate.<BR>

[Clint in Wichita]

Anyone who is political opinion is "swayed" by Bill Luznicky on a Chiefs BB should have their right to vote taken away from them.

[Luzap]

Duck,

Reread post #38.

What isn't clear???

Clint,

I didn't know you cared http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Luz
kcjones, is it too late to become an environmental whacko???...

[Phobia]

Luz, I've decided to vote for Bush and I want you to have all the credit. You've thoroughly convinced me that he is the best choice.

Thanks.

[DaWolf]

What is amazing to me is that the original post is an inaccurate slam on Gore and yet we're still on the conspiracy theory. Now it's turned into "Gore wanted this story to get out" which is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard. If I am Gore I want nothing related to that part of the body getting leaked out before the election. That would serve no purpose. There is nothing to indicate he had anything to do with this getting edited or leaking a story. This is becoming as old as Grbashing...

[Brock]

Between Clinton and Gore, Republicans have been obsessed with penis for over a year now. They may have to rethink the whole "homosexuality is wrong" stance.

[Ugly Duck]

Luz...Your closing statement in #38 makes it unclear to me whether or not you believe that the "penis" thing is a cheesy tactic by the Gore camp. Maybe I'm misreading you...

"My prediction is that these type of 'cheezy' unsubstantive tactics will become more frequent and more obnoxious the closer we get to November 4."
