Al Gore said Friday he'll welcome campaign help from President Clinton in the final weeks before the election, but he declared anew, "This is a campaign that I am running on my own." Here are some reasons why he is refusing help from Billy.
- "Every time he gives me money he insists that we play 'President and Intern'."
- "I'm a grown man dammit, I can be President all by myself."
- "If he helps me get the job, then he's always gonna be coming by the White house, acting like he's President. He's weird like that."
- "It's not like he's got that much, Hell $200,000 a year...I could blow that in a weekend."
- "I can embezzle 'soft money' alone, I don't need his help."
- "If he helps out, he's one of those guys that keeps reminding you that he did something nice for you."
- "He always wants to go to Amsterdam, and I just don't have time for that."
- "I'm Al Gore. What was the question?"
- "I'm tired of having 'dance parties' at campaign meetings."
- "I created the term 'campaign financing', just the way I created the Internet."
