For now, Mr. Gore can only attempt to explain what motivates the ceaseless lampooning he continues to face from America’s columnists and commentators. "That’s postmodernism," he offered. "It’s the combination of narcissism and nihilism that really defines postmodernism, and that’s another interview for another time, if you’re interested in it."

Uh, yeah, Al. If we should decide we're interested, we'll call ya.

What the heck was that answer about? Trying to prove he can pronounce words George W. Bush probably can't? That oughta garner about six more votes. 531 to go.

>What the heck was that answer about?

Who knows? (Sounds sort of like he was talking about museum art with all the "isms".) It also reminds me of hillary on Hardball last week. She turned her hecklers' negative comments around to her own advantage.

Clinton seemed unfazed by the outbursts. "It's great to see all of this energy," she said.

It's really difficult for these leftists to admit any sort of defeat, isn't it? (...unless, of course, they can blame someone else for it.)

Postmodernism ended the day 2 planes were maliciously flown into the WTC towers. Educated types have declared this. Whiney Mr. Gore will need to find another excuse while he is still belittled by the press and public.

In the words of the Strawberry Alarm Clock:

Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns.
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around.
Look at yourself, look at yourself,
Yeah, yeah.
Look at yourself, look at yourself,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah.

"It’s the combination of narcissism and nihilism that really defines postmodernism"

So that would make AlGore himself a "postmodernist" wouldn't it?

AlGore the Intellectual. About as beliveable as AlGore the Scientist.

Never use a small word when a big, impressive word will do.

Gore reminds me of the dorks I went to graduate school with. Always using big words nobody in the real words because, hey, you're supposed to be "smart" and smart means talking over everybody's heads.
