Al Gore: Pennsylvania ‘A Hellhole’
Per The ONION:
ALTOONA, PA-During a campaign stop at an Altoona paper mill Monday, presidential contender Al Gore launched into an unexpected 40-minute tirade against the “not’so-great state of Pennsylvania,” calling it “the nation’s armpit” and “a total hellhole.”
“Over the past few days, I have traveled all over your state and met many of you. And what has impressed me most is that no matter where I have gone, my reaction has been the same: ‘Oh, God, get me the fuck out of this dump,’” said Gore, who alternately referred to the Keystone State’s 12 million residents as “animals” and “ghouls.” “From Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, from Erie to Easton, the places and faces of Pennsylvania stand in direct opposition to everything that makes America great.”
Gore went on to tell the assembled mill workers that he “couldn’t care less” if he loses Pennsylvania’s 23 electoral votes, so long as he “never [has] to set foot in this steaming dungheap again.”
