Gore's still trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. He changes personalities several times a decade. He's been a divinity student, rode with the Hell's Angels, the earnest Viet Nam vet, the Dixiecrat senator, the inside the beltway fundraiser, the melting down Presidential candidate, the professorial intellectual, and now, the flakey prophet.
He may be getting close to his last incarnation, as he gets a little nuttier each time.
