Yes, Chris, and he REALLY blossoms when I look at him through a kaleidoscope.

Where is it suggested that this article is about Al Gore's book? Did I miss something? I give up. Where is it suggested that this article is about Al Gore’s book? Did I miss something?

Gone is the crazy Uncle Al of his Moveon.org days; in his place we find someone who’s now described as a ‘leading man’ possessed of ‘star power’, conjuring up memories of Al Gore, Alpha Male." Doesn't sound much like the makings of a book review to me? The article right above this is a book review of Howard Zinn's "You Can't Be Neutral On A Moving Train", maybe you got them mixed up. “Is Al Gore Ready For His Close-up?

An interesting piece, certainly, but I would have liked to see more on the book. I thought this was billed as a review of Gore’s book, not of Gore and his chances in a run for president in ’08?

Addicts make the best actors, since they've long since lost any true sense of themselves, will do anything for a fix...in Al's case having AFOne on call would do it...and will become whatever they must to score. Al's going to look heroic to the desperate left, as will Kerry to another faction of the same. But if Al runs the pathos factor will set a new American record. Note on the 'green card' in politics: Kyoto is dying a slow miserable death. Canada just dropped it, and the EU is giving it nothing but sorrowful rhetoric.
