AS GOES FRANCE, SO GO THE DEMOCRATS:

PAPER: GORE SET TO CLOSE DEAL ON CABLE TV CHANNEL (Drudge Report, 3/30/04)

The NEW YORK OBSERVER will report on Wednesday that former Vice President Al Gore will close the deal to buy his own cable TV channel this week!

Mr. Gore and his business partner, entreprenuer and Democratic fundraiser Joel Hyatt, will acquire Newsworld International for around $70 million from Vivendi. The Observer will also report that Mr. Gore approached French-owned Vivendi through French President Jacques Chirac in 2003, hoping to get a better deal from Vivendi CEO Jean-Rene Fourtou.


Who is running that Party that they think things like this help?

Here's hoping that he brings back 'Wheel Of Fish' and 'Conan The Librarian.'

Considering Joel Hyatt's involved, I exepct to see lawsuits being filed any day now against the nation's major cable systems to get Al-TV included as part of the basic cable package, instead of being up in the high 900s of the digital package with the Bulgarian soccer league channels...
