EXCERPT
Describing an event where he was paired up next to the monotone-talking ex-vice president, Woodward said, “Now, sitting next to Gore is taxing.”
After some laughs from the crowd, Woodward continued, “In fact, it’s unpleasant.”
Woodward offered up another tidbit from the conversation with his dinner companion. The investigative reporter asked the politician, more than five years after leaving office, how much the public knows about what went on during the Clinton administration. Gore replied, “One percent.”
Woodward admitted that revelation made him feel a bit icky, saying, “I kind of died inside and have to confess to having an unclean thought.”
He then dug a little deeper, asking Gore, if the former VP were to write a memoir, how much Americans would know then. Gore retorted, “Two percent.”

Bob Woodward finally says something everyone knows about Al Gore.
“In fact, it’s unpleasant.”
It’s that musky, polecat, ManBearPig aroma that comes off in waves.
And not a journalist in America that will pick up on the irony of what Woodward just said. There are no journalists anymore, just whores.
It takes reporters a while to catch on to what average people see immediately, I guess.
Woodward is not exactly the sharpest spoon in a drawer of knives.
Maybe Gore is “flatulently challenged”.
Small price to pay for your propagandizing, highly selective “journalism”, jackass.
Hammer Commie Hunter Dick Nixon for covering up a third rate burglary, but ignore corruption on a scale hundreds of times worse in the Clinton and Obama Administrations?
Al Gore probably doesn’t fit in just one seat anyway.
Just the thought of sitting next to Algore is taxing and unpleasant.
When Gore came out with his fraudulent “Inconvenient Truth” global warming lies, Woodward and the Washington Post were wetting themselves praising him over and over again.
Now that Gore is politically irrelevant, Woodward finally gives his true feelings.
It's too late hypocrite.
Even Woodward didn’t pick on on the irony of what the “investigative reporter” just said.

That’s funny. I thought Democrats liked taxing.
boy, did we ever dodge a bullet when this patently certifiable whack job failed to become POTUS by the skin of his teeth.
That sort of response by Woodward is usually applied to someone who is guilty somehow of participating in deceipt along with the culprit!
Any RAT politician is by definition, “TAXING”, whether you are sitting next to them or are are several states away.
I can see how watching Al squirming in his seat like Gene Siskel and asking over-and-over that Woodward “Pull my finger” would become tedious.
For years, many who’ve crossed paths with Gore (many of whom include WH military liaisons) relate a very cold experience. He’s arrogant and vindictive, without the stable temperament needed to be an effective president.
To this day, I am thankful to God for Ralph Nader’s Green Party run in 2000. Having pulled 96,000 votes in FL, his presence on the ballot kept Gore from claiming victory. The lion’s share of those votes would’ve been Gore’s.
Gene Siskel=Robert Ebert (the fat one)? I never can keep those two straight.
