Either that, or Thomas Friedman comes from a different universe than the rest of us.

For Mr. Gore, it was winning the popular vote and having the election taken away from him by a Republican-dominated Supreme Court.

Mr. Gore lost the presidency, but in the dignity and grace with which he gave up his legal fight, he united America.

What a load of crap. Al Gore sent people out into every county in Florida, seeking to invalidate GOP votes (especially those of our troops) while getting invalid Democrat votes counted. When he still lost under the laws in place on election day, he repeatedly sought to have them overturned and a court (any court) declare him victor. After he lost, Gore and his minions sought to overturn the results of the election in the Electoral College and then in Congress. We have spent the last seven years with Gore's acolytes insisting that he won the election when the US Constitution says otherwise -- and his actions following the 2000 election fostered the division and political acrimony that have followed for the last 7 years.

So I'm sorry, but Thomas Friedman is clearly trying to pass off fantasy as reality -- or he comes from a bizarro universe where black is white and up is down. Or he needs psychiatric medication.
