Algore is a poor little rich boy looking for his place in history. His mommy even reserved a place on the pantheon of family photos for when little Algore grew up and became President right alongside daddy's picture of himself with criminals and communist of all kinds. Algore Sr. (a corrupt whore if there ever was one) groomed the little wooden boy for a shot at the top slot. Unfortunately, his world came to an end when all the rat soldiers and horsemen (er, horsepersons) couldn't steal the election for him.
Boo-hooo. What to do?
So, Algore (after his breakdown and rehab) reinvented himself (not as Donna Brazile’s alpha male with the sausage stuffed in his pants) but as a towering intellectual colossus. Leftists once again fell over themselves to shower him with their version of wreaths and crowns. Still, Algore had to command the global stage and his ship seemed to be coming in with the enviro-agenda taking over from the shopworn antinuclear movement. Yes, the little wooden boy from Caney River stood on the threshold of eternity and shouted for our repentence and higher taxation.
But, Lo, the data was faked and the prophets were false.
Gone was the private jet. Gone was his energy sink of a home, and, finally, gone was his wife - free at last, thank God almighty she was free at last.
Now alone and friendless, Algore ponders reinventing himself once more. Hmmmm...maybe if he dyed his sking he could be black?
You are much closer to the truth than you realize. I worked with someone who had a friend who was working for Gore, after his loss in 2000 to Bush. After the dust settled and he regained some balance (he fumed for weeks after losing the Presidency) the Gore team gathered and looked over a number of “causes” that would keep him in the public eye, make sure he stayed relevant. Global Warming was selected as the best play, and it had nothing to do with his convictions or anything else.
Al Gore is an condescending ass and a dullard. A dope head for most of his life, who simply walked into the life his father built for him. His father went insane and Gore is following in his footsteps.
His wife escaped into alcohol for years and finally left, probably because he’s become impossible to live with.
