Saint Gore and what might have been

Is anyone else sick and tired of the way liberals blame everything on Bush? The way the mere election of Al Gore would have changed the world to its core?
In Tuesday's debate Hillary dodged a question about her ridiculous promises of millions of new jobs by proclaiming that they would have materialized had Gore been elected.
Now comes Margaret Carlson, in a column on Hillary, making the same old argument:
Al Gore was as awkward and stiff as they come. Yet had he been elected, we wouldn't have become the first Christians to invade a Muslim country since the Crusades, have oil over $100 a barrel or be waiting for more studies to see if greenhouse gases are melting the polar ice cap.
See how easy things could have been? If the Supreme Court hadn't stolen the election all of our problems would have been solved by the all powerful Gorical! No problems in Iraq, no high energy prices, and no global warming.
Except for the fact that Saddam Hussein would still be a threat to the stability of the Middle East and a supporter of terrorism abroad. US Troops would still be in Iraq and Saudi Arabia attempting to contain him while the French and Russians sought to make money by letting him out of his "box."
Except that all of Al's "solutions" to global warming entail higher energy prices and higher prices at the pump.
Except that even the Europeans have failed to implement the outrageous goals the global warming fanatics have set. To say nothing of the developing world.
One could expound at much greater length on the ways in which it is far from clear that had Gore managed to beat Bush he would have ushered in a Utopian era of peace and prosperity unreachable under Bush. But you get the picture.
I guess this kind of fantasy world - where Gore gets elected and all is well - helps liberals sleep at night. but isn't it funny how the "reality-based" community is so disconnected from reality?
Perhaps this explains their infatuation with Obama . . .
