Al Gore today:
In an hour-long address punctuated by polite laughter and applause, Gore also accused the Bush administration of working closely "with a network of 'rapid response' digital Brown Shirts who work to pressure reporters and their editors for 'undermining support for our troops."'I think he means us. It's sad that the Inventor of the Internet suffers so from his own creation.
I agree that he's talking about the blogs...
Now if only Spooky were still around to create a "Digital Brown Shirt" logo...

Apparently, in the Gore-niverse anyone who dares express their opinion in opposition to Prince Albert, First Emperor of the Moon, is by definition (gasp!) a Nazi!!!.
I think the last time someone mentioned "brown shirts", Naomi Wolf was getting $1000 an hour tell Prince Albert to start wearing them.
Aaron the Rantblogger's pretty good with graphics, maybe he can make one.
