What happened? For one thing there's been a dramatic change in the nature of what the philosopher Jürgen Habermas has described as the structure of the public forum--the way our political discourse takes place. It no longer operates as it once did. It is simply no longer as accessible to the vigorous and free exchange of ideas from individuals in the way those ideas were freely and vigorously exchanged during the period of our founding.

What happened? The internet. Now Gore's "authentic voice" can be vetted by the people, by themselves, and dissected to show his flip-flops and hypocrisy, foremostly about Iraq.

That is in reference to a 1999 Gore 60 Minutes Interview with Leslie Stahl.

Leslie Stahl: "I know something(about) you that most people don't probably know. I can't believe it but, you hypnotize chickens."

Gore: "I learned how to do that as a kid. I really did."

Gore does chicken dance

---

VP evades but can't elude student's question

BY HOWARD WILKINSON
The Cincinnati Enquirer

School, of course, is for learning things. Like how to hypnotize a chicken.

        The usual subject of language arts in Sharon McCreary's fourth, fifth and sixth grade class at Sands Montessori School took a back seat briefly Thursday to a somewhat reluctant lecture from the vice president of the United States on how to make a chicken sleepy, veeerry sleepy.

        Al Gore stopped in Ms. McCreary's classroom as part of a quick tour of the school's crumbling physical structure.

        After looking at the peeling paint on the windows, Mr. Gore chatted with students.

        Just as Mr. Gore was about to leave, 11-year-old Hessam Akhlaghpour of Clifton piped up to tell the vice president he had heard him talking on CBS' 60 Minutes about how people in his native Tennessee would hypnotize chickens for amusement.

        “Tell us how to do it,” Hessam said. Mr. Gore laughed and started backing toward the door.

        “No, really, tell us how to do it,” Hessam insisted, like a mini-Mike Wallace.

        So the vice president, after warning the kids “not to try this at home,” told them: Hold a chicken's head on the ground. Take a finger or a stick and draw circles around the chicken's head.

        “He'll try to follow the stick and, in no time, he'll go "cluck, cluck' and he's out,” Mr. Gore said.

        Hessam said he was satisfied with the explanation.

        “I was just curious,” he said.
