Ok, enough is enough Al.

You were a mediocre veep, but that's no great sin, most are. The job doesn't usually get the best and the brightest.

You are a wooden and uncharismatic politician, but thats ok too. Guys like you kept guys like me employed for a long time.

Your wife Tipper is a prudish, ignorant and ambiguous hag, but that's alright too. You just married her pal, you're not responsible for everything she does or says.

You ran a pretty crappy presidential campaign, but hey, you're not the first or the worst to do that, and you damn sure won't be the last.

You decided you're an environmentalist, and you produced a movie on global warming, which is making you a wad of cash (to go with the several wads you already had) despite the fact your personal carbon footprint is the size of Tampa. But again, I'm ok with that, Al, everyone is free to grab their share of the cash floating around, and hypocrisy is in the eye of the beholder.

But this latest schtick, Al, that's gotta stop. You see Al, I'm a Canadian, and when you come up here and start crapping all over the government of this sovereign nation (a government, I will admit to you Al, that I profoundly dislike and distrust) for not signing the Kyoto Accord and for what you perceive as the total and complete fraud of their new climate policy, well, you're way out of line.

This is more than a little much Al. After all, you're the guy, who when you were VP under Clinton, conspired to keep your own sovereign nation out of the same Kyoto accord. Now, according to you Al, this same accord you were instrumental in killing in your own country is all that's standing between the planet and oblivion. But you're not trying to get it implemented in your own country. Just in mine.

So this says to me, Al, that you're just another of those ugly imperialist bully Americans that all too many Canadians come to generalize about.

Go home and put your own house in order Al. We can screw things up on our own just fine, thanks.
