Florida Dem Saved Gore Gown For Obama Inauguration

When Stacy Ritter shows up at Florida's official presidential inaugural ball in the nation's capital, she'll be wearing a gown she purchased eight years ago.

And not because she's being thrifty in a shaky economy: The Broward County mayor bought the dress to wear to Al Gore's inauguration in 2000. A razor-thin election in Florida and a U.S. Supreme Court decision nixed those plans.

Gore's inaugural gown was a little black off-the-shoulder number.

Where is the fountain in which you all drink your liberal kool aid from? I need some so I can walk around in a daze like Leo did in the Matrix.

Ditto! Also, for the benefit of all those who voted for W and now regret it, I will be wearing my "I told you so" smirk.

Gore lost, get use to it. With any luck her dress won't be too dated.

If it were not for R0ve and C0nnell this would be the third time she would be wearing it!
