Al Gore played same hand

It would appear that John Slusher, in his letter complaining about Gov. Bush not resigning before running for president, conveniently neglected to mention one thing (“George W. Bush: Drew pay during campaign,” Nov. 26). Gov. Bush’s opponent in this election was also gainfully employed as a government employee and, as I recall, did not resign from his position in order to run for president. It would appear that Mr. Slusher has one standard for Republicans and another (apparently a lower one) for Democrats. This is just another example of a disgruntled – and ill-informed – Democrat.
