Mark: Time to rag on Bush... Gotta love this job! We're back with ''All Things Being Equal!'' Chase, have we heard the end of Al Gore? Chase: I hope so! We've had enough of his prevarications! Mark: Who's had enough? The Bush oppo squad, who inflated trivial inconsistencies into "lies"? Chase: Why not? They fit a pattern! Mark: What pattern? For 20 years, Gore was knocked for being an Eagle Scout, an insufferable straight arrow - the opposite of a liar! You people took a false premise, fed it to the media, and trashed the man's character just like Bush senior did to Dukakis! Chase: Well, if Gore had had the wit to define himself, we wouldn't have had to do it for him! Mark: Oh, right: never mind that the biggest lie of the whole election belonged to Bush! Chase: Oh, yea? And what would that be? Mark: ''I won." Chase: Bigger than "Love Story"? I don't think so!
