I would not sell Gore short. I'm reminded of the "new Nixon" who was able to remake his image enough to become President.....are you old enough to recall Nixon on "laugh-in" and his 'sock it to me'?

"I would [meaning "will"] spend more time speaking from the heart on a few occasions each week,"
Gore said — a promise that could cause a cynic to wonder which organ will control him on other occasions.

Heavens, that is an unnerving thought to contemplate. Al speaking from the heart but, thankfully, only a few days a week.

Pray tell, which organ would Al allow us to then behold, the writer asks?

Let's stop it right now. I know where the writer is going and it's not very nice. Algore is no Clinton. He would not ever let us behold his other organs.)

[Joe Boucher]

Al who?

The only thing poor Al has going in his favor is that he's too stupid to be the Anti-Christ.

Bravo, good piece!

Just Al Gore as he used to be — the Old Al Gore.

********************* Yes, Al Gore the landlord who after his tenants pleaded for plumbing help due to overflowing toilets, Al did the noble thing and ordered them evicted. No wonder they love him so much in Tennessee.

"I would have poured out my heart and my vision for America's future."

I suspect it will be a political disaster of Biblical proportions, go ahead, Al.

"If I had it to do all over again, I'd just let it rip..."

I just can't help but think the next DNC convention may be like the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles, but then again they are always smelly affairs!

When I was young, I wanted to be a famous singer. Never mind I couldn't sing worth a s*it. I wanted to sing. I thought I could be anything I wanted to be. Just because I wanted it. But, I grew up. I realized that my off-key debits far surpassed my falalalala's. It's too bad someone didn't pull gore aside and tell him in no uncertain terms he has a tin-ear for politics. He's a Karioke politician. It's painful to watch and listen to.

What was it GWB said during the campaign? Something about knowing who he is and Al Gourdhead isn't comfortable in his own skin. The more gourdhead speaks, the more we learn how true that is.

Al Gore - living proof that you can't polish a turd.

[redbaiter]

So... He was not speaking 'from the heart' last time? What part of his body was he speaking from? Seriously, he was fifty-some years old in 2000, running for the most important office in the world, the winning of which would be the summit of his - or anyone's - career. His entire life has been about winning the White House. And he says he wasn't speaking from the heart?

I think this man was not, and is not, ready for the White house.
