From the L.A.Times.com we have an entertaining article about Al Gore's image written by Jonah Goldberg.
Goldberg argues that although his image has been reinvented numerous times, there is only really one Al Gore. One whose bouts of prevarication continue... Was his 15th summer spent on a farm plowing fields or was it spent at Cannes studying existential philosophy?
Golberg's final paragraph says it best: "[the truth about Gore] is reminiscent of another existential play, originally written in French, so Gore no doubt knows it well. In "Waiting for Godot," Godot never comes — and we are never even sure who Godot is. But we get the sense that the nonexistent Godot is really a Rorschach test of sorts, revealing more about what the audience wants him to be than anything else. So it is with those waiting for Gore".
I think Gore remains a sad, pathetic creature.

And he invented the internet, too! I think we dont need to wait for Gore or any other members of the usual suspects to decide to run for President. The whole bunch of the people in Washington need to be fired. After all we are in a dictatorship now so who needs anyone representing little guys like us. They dont care.
In that pic, he looks like he should be speaking harshly in German and then follow the statement with a "Heil Hitler!"
Gore is unhinged. I think his political disappointments have left him emotional unstable.
On the conservative side of things, I think this same brain damaged development happened to Pat Buchanan. He went wacky too after political disappointment.

Gore is sad and more than a bit pathetic. Even the hippies got it right once in the seventies - having a point in every direction is the same as having no point at all.

jill: don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel ;-)
j.d.: unhinged says it all.
birdwoman: welcome back to the blog world.
eyes: I have 2. We better make them flame retardant socks.
stand back everybody - you don't want to get any of that on you when it explodes!
I think he needs some dental work -minus the pain killer.
I was thinking that he could use a little Prozac.
At least he was funny on SNL. Maybe he could become a comedian. Lord knows he makes me laugh every time he opens his mouth.
I can't even say "lockbox" without almost wetting myself. So funny.
He and Carter and Michael Moore..the 3 Moosketeers eh?
jessey: I think he's scary FUNNY, but he's not 'finger-on-the-red-button funny'. As far as lockbox goes, he did ruin the word for me forever.
woman: good one. Now you've got me thinking... how about the 'Mouthketeers' cause they don't don't when to shut up?
