A Rough Draft of
Al Gore's Resume
The following is an official underground transmission of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (VRWC).
What you are about to read is a document which was secretly retrieved from the deleted computer files of Vice President Al Gore. It was discovered by a VRWC operative who infiltrated the White House, cunningly disguised as a man carrying a large envelope full of money. After retrieving the file, he read it, backwards and without consonants, during a call to the Rush Limbaugh show, his garbled message explained by his introduction as a supporter of John Hagelin for President. Limbaugh decoded this message by running it through his secret VRWC disgronificator.
With the help of devious VRWC scientists, Limbaugh planted a drug-laced cigar in the Monday Night Football audition booth, where it would be consumed by an unsuspecting Dennis Miller. The time-release drug, which took effect as Miller flew back to his hometown of Pittsburgh, caused some of the whiskers of his beard to fall out onto his clothing, in a pattern which related the VRWC transmission in Braille.
Miller took his suit to be cleaned, not realizing that all the dry cleaners in Pittsburgh, along with the delis and tanning salons, are part of the Great Richard Mellon Scaife Empire. Mr. Scaife translated the message back into English, and affixed a microfilmed copy of it to the "memo" box on a blank check, which he sent to Shinbone editor Daniel Clark, as usual.
When Limbaugh was asked why he sent the secret transmission along its circuitous route, rather than simply broadcasting it on his show, he said, "In my humble opinion, the one drawback to being the world's most listened-to talk radio host is that it doesn't afford me the ability to be as clandestine as an extremist ought to be."

What follows is a secret decrypted transmission of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. To gain approval for access, one must have completed the four-year specialized subversion program at the VRWC's Secret University of Hate - Pocatello campus (VRWCSUHP). All violators will be subject to mean-spirited, divisive hate-speech.
