He reminds me of Clinton's butt boy, Gore.
How much MORE respect would America have had for Al if he had opened his mouth sooner-let the chips fall where they may?
That kind of character does not exist any more, I guess.
Gore could not have come off any WORSE if he had done so, and I am certain he'd still be riding a tidal wave of positive public opinion if he had!
Instead, he'll go down in history as a pathetic, self-serving clown who rode the gravy train as long as it was good for HIM!
