Whoa, the feedback on the ALGORE interview was
truly amazing! We got hundreds of emails, with just about all them
positive. Well, there was one notable exception and you?ll find that
response here. So sit back and see what the public had to say. By the
way, if you missed the ALGORE interview, you can find it at: http://www.off-road.com/algore/may2000.html
I just can?t say enough about that interview
with Al Gore. It was so hilarious, I could not stop laughing the
entire time reading it (especially the butt pirates comment). It was
certainly true to what Al Gore probably would have said in a real
interview. I have had a link on my website to your Defeat
AlGore page for a few months now. I also try to spread the word in all
the ATV forums I visit. Keep up the great work. Cause we need to

I just read your interview with Al Snore and I
have to say thank you! That was some very funny stuff; it really
brightened my day. Big Hoss
Yes, This is what he would really say in a real
interview. You hit the nail on the head. DATVRIDER

Subject: RE: Gore-Clinton Administration Road Policy To the Editorial Board of Off-Road.com, Being an avid off-road enthusiast, I looked to
see the latest on your web site the other day. I was appalled, to say the least, by the
mean-spirited nature of much of the political rhetoric offered
concerning the federal government?s road policies in protected
woodlands across the United States. It is little wonder that your publication has
scant credibility when it comes to public discourse about public
issues; your web site is riddled with inarticulate, ignorant, and
poorly thought-out rhetoric about which you apparently know very
little. The very fact that you expend substantial
resources snidely criticizing Al Gore and Bill Clinton (with press
releases, links, much information (selectively included in an
obviously biased manner), and political attacks bordering on libel and
defamation), instead of allocating such resources to affect public
policy change in a responsible manner (though it?s clear that adult
behavior is certainly not an arrow in YOUR quiver) drains your
publication of all credibility among all but the sorriest of
intellects who might happen across your web site. What is most unfortunate is the fact that though
your readership might very well benefit from potential resources your
web site could offer them in the way of affecting said ?roadless?
policies, your blatant scare-mongering and negative attack-campaigning
only serves to feed the flames of negativity that today consume our
once-prized political system. Congratulations on completely blowing a
fine opportunity at offering a bona fide service to your readership by
behaving like spoiled school children and encouraging your readers to
do the same. Though edification and education are certainly
lost on the likes of you and all those who contributed to your poor
excuse of a web site, it behooves the reader of even modest intellect
to offer a couple clarifications regarding the mean-spirited
misrepresentations you attempt to pass off as fact: 1. Offering a ?transcript? of a fictional
interview as fact (as does your Al Gore-bashing piece ?Clinton?s
?Mini Me? Gets Grilled by the Hunk? by Rick ?Super Hunky?
Sieman) is libelous, slanderous, and flat-out illegal. I know some
third-graders who are aware of this. 2. Campaign materials advocating the election of
a candidate, or THE DEFEAT OF AN OPPONENT, require financial
disclosure with the Federal Elections Commission. I?m willing to bet
that federal officials will see ?Defeat Al Gore in 2000? as
advocating for his defeat. Seeing as how it is unlikely that any of
your web staff seem likely to even be able to spell FEC, I?m
doubting that such disclosures have been made. 3. The Clinton-Gore administration?s national
forests road policy is much more friendly to recreational users than
you seem to be aware. The policy involves a moratorium (try and sound
it out: MORE-A-TOR-EE-UM) on additional road-building. This means, my
third-grade friend would be happy to explain to you, that existing
roads will not be affected in any way, and that new roads will not be
built for the duration of the moratorium. The policy is part of a
shift in focus from heavy industrial use of our forestlands to a more
recreation-based focus, which would seem to offer more benefit to the
interest group you claim to be appealing to (off-road recreational
users) . But, alas, this small fact doesn?t seem to fit the true
agenda that you?re actually advocating: the defeat of Al Gore. The
use of your internet-based journalistic resources to mislead your
readership into supporting your agenda is not only negligent and
irresponsible, but it?s extremely childish as well. It?s people like you who rob the journalistic
and political processes of credibility, integrity, and public
confidence. People like you also give the responsible
off-road enthusiasts a bad name with environmental authorities. You
come off sounding ignorant and stupid, and certainly not a group I
would like to be affiliated with. I hope you?re pleased with your
accomplishments. Sincerely, Wendy Weisiger

fair play and the right of free speech, we are displaying your email

that you took the time out of your busy work day at Cabletron to email
us that nasty message? Naw! An ?ethical? person like you
wouldn?t do that, would they? By the way, does your opinion represent that

Hi, Just wanted to say that the interview was
one of the most f*****g hilarious articles I?ve ever read! And not
too far from the truth! Wait a minute, I invented the Internet! Was it
you? LOL Thanks
Jon
um ... AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That was
GREAT! I was CRACKING UP!! Well done!! Please let me know the next
time you write similar articles That was killer! Thanks
Don Mueller
Great article. I thought Al did a better job than in the past
on his interview. I sure hope this lying crook loses badly. Thanks for
the laugh I will spread the word to my friends. Mike Schenk

Hilarious!! Had me in tears. Best laugh I?ve

Very very funny, thanks! > B. Davis
Good article! Whether this was real or not, this
nihilist will certainly not be getting my vote. Thanks for a laugh.
Chad Rocheford
In his usual wacky nature, Rick Sieman grills
the President wannabe. SUPER HUNKY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!! I would
actually consider voting for the Hunkster. No, let me rephrase that. I
would vote for the Hunkster. He is more honest than Bush and 500 times
smarter than Gore. Besides, it would be good to laugh with the
President instead of laughing at him. Besides, Hunky knows how to
actually smoke as oppose to poke a cigar. In one of his best efforts to date, just behind
the one about losing his bike in the orange grove some 30 years ago,
Mr. Sieman has seemed to ?cut to the chase? with the Presidential
hopeful. In a stirring interview with ALGORE , Rick
Sieman, aka Super Hunky, got the Vice President to say ?well? some
30 times and ?let me say this about that? some 400 times. Well done Mr. Hunky, uh, Super Sieman, uh ?
Good job, Rick!! If only the rest of the Nation could read Al
Gore, like we can, then we?ll have a great 4 years, after 8 years of
lies and ?political correctness?. Bill Malec

Great story. I loved it as much as I hate Al. We
need Rick Sieman for President!!!!. XR600 Todd
Great story guys, it reminds me of what a
pathological liar he is. PLEASE remind everyone out there how much
ground we would lose with this bum in the White House. Frawashe
That was the funniest thing I have read in a
long time, continuous laughter. but, how much of that was made up? Ben Long
The ?interview? was a riot. If I can?t get
the real interview I?m trying to get with Dumbeck, maybe you ought
to do one with him, too. I am still working on it with his flunkie, a
guy named Joe Walsh, be1ieve it or not.Later.. Brad Ullrich
Thought you might be interested in this.
Straight from the horse?s Mouth (the President). This is a quote
from MSN: President Bill Clinton said in a statement.
?As of midnight tonight, all the people who?ve bought GPS
receivers for boats, cars, or recreation will find that they are ten
times more accurate." Recreation? Would someone let that nut case Gore
know that his boss did this so offroaders won?t get lost... Mike Hobbs
I wouldn?t wish Al Gore on any country,
especially ours. Great Job!

Great satire? Maybe not exactly satire. If you
could stand the smell long enough to conduct an interview, it might be
pretty close to factual! Keep it up guys, and remind all off-roaders they
have to vote, and their vote does count. If they sincerely want to
make a difference, stay home from camping one weekend and send the
$150 to George Bush, or get active in conservative politics and donate
time to the conservative party of their choice. If we are going to
survive, every one of us are going to have to do more than ever before
to put them in their place, and that place is NOT in government. We
better get damn serious, this may be our last chance to save America
as we know it!! Paul Clark

If this weren?t so close to real life, this
would be the funniest thing I?ve ever read. I just hope that every
off-roader, 2- or 4-wheeler, goes out and votes. Keep up the good
work, I love reading your articles. Thomas Gatchell
GREAT write up. I laughed my ass off! What?s
sad is it?s so true. Fortunately those of us in Texas have less to
worry about than BLM controlled lands. However, we?ll continue to
write and call in regards to public land all over the nation. Keep up
the good work! Ray Barth
Thanks for making me laugh about the off-road
land situation! I was getting uptight as the city grows around my
personal metropolis off-road hideouts. Once again, my all time
literary hero pulls out all the stops and says (spoofs,) it like it
is! Great work,
Markus
Nice job; hilarious! I love to read Hunky?s
stuff. Give him a pat on the back! Scott Benda
I just wanted to say, I LOVED THAT ARTICLE!!!!!
That had to be the most hilarious piece of work I?ve ever read!
Please, keep up the good work...and just to spite Gore, don?t you
think we ought to have a ?million Jeep rally? or something? Hell,
everyone else is doing their little million booger-eater rallies &
such...why not us drive our 4x4?s all over Washington? -- anyway,
umm, yeah....loved the article. Sincerely,

Al?s long career in the military: did he ever swallow during one of
the butt pirate episodes? G.A. Bowles
