( and his bong ) 4 . gorons actually believe that mr . gore is justified in illegally raising political funds from the office of the vp , simply because the vanderbilt law educated vp claims he was ignorant of the illegality . 5 . gorons further believe that it was ok for al to accept large sums of political money from china through buddhist monks who had taken vows of poverty , since he again claimed ignorance . 6 . gorons also believe that the man who claimed to " invent the internet " would be so computationally ignorant that he could lose weeks of potentially incriminating e - mail ! 7 . gorons , incredibly , believe gore ' s claim that he and tipper were the models for the book and movie , " love story " even though the book ' s author , erich segal , says not . 8 . gorons , amazingly , believe that gore will be the consumer ' s champion against high gasoline prices although gore holds a million dollars in occidental petroleum stock . 9 . gorons applaud mr . lieberman ' s open rejection of president clinton ' s immorality , but believe it was fine for mr . gore to remain silent on the subject , while simultaneously declaring mr . clinton " one of the greatest presidents of our history . " 10 . gorons believe that al gore is an effective leader , when they won ' t bother to look at his record as a tennessee senator , a record so ineffective that it has led to the election of republicans as both of tennessee ' s senators ! 11 . gorons hold the belief that gore is a compassionate man who will be the working man ' s friend , in spite of the eviction notice he served to the poor family who complained about the conditions of the run down slum house that he was renting to them . cautionary note : medical researchers acknowledge that gorons are generally harmless , except when allowed into a voting booth . there , unfortunately , overcome by their gullibility syndrome , they are apt to actually vote for gore ! they should be carefully protected from their ailment , since it may be harmful to their well - being , yours , mine and that of the usa . therefore , please , heed the surgeon general ' s warning , reach out to aid the gorons in overcoming the syndrome , and , please , pass this on to your normal friends , who might also know gorons who need immediate treatment .
