VICE PRESIDENT GORE: -- how are the checks going to be -- how are you going to keep faith with the seniors? Now let me come -- let me come directly to your question --Interesting, eh? Gore asks liberal moderator Jim Lehrer for time to answer a question, and liberal moderator Jim Lehrer turns him down cold. Sorry, out of time.
MR. LEHRER: No, I think we're -- we have to go to the closing statements, and --
GOV. BUSH: Well, can I answer that?
MR. LEHRER: Sure.
Conservative, George Bush, then asks for time to answer the question, and "liberal" Lehrer responds, "Sure."
Somehow this picture isn't adding up. If PBS and Jim Lehrer are liberal, why does Gore get stiffed while Bush is accommodated? Someone help me out here.
