For those who think Al Gore is even lower than his mentor, the Hero of Hope, you will like this piece from the Washington Post (of all places).

Wow Cat...what an article!! That's a keeper!

I recommend everyone read this one...in the WP no less.

I'm not sure you can go much lower than Algore's mentor....

Quote from the article:

Politics are allowed in politics, but there are limits, and there is a pale, and Gore has now shown himself to be ignorant of those limits, and he has now placed himself beyond that pale.

Another quote from the article...in the Washington Post!!!

Gore's speech was one no decent politician could have delivered. It was dishonest, cheap, low. It was hollow. It was bereft of policy, of solutions, of constructive ideas, very nearly of facts -- bereft of anything other than taunts and jibes and embarrassingly obvious lies. It was breathtakingly hypocritical, a naked political assault delivered in tones of moral condescension from a man pretending to be superior to mere politics. It was wretched. It was vile. It was contemptible. But I understate.

Kapow! Zap! Zing! That article nails it, point after point. But the voice....no one mentions the delivery style (perhaps because to do so is shallow and petty :^) ). To me, it was distracting in its woodenness, lack of spontaneity, talking-to-a-three-year-old-child deliberate (I think) slowness. It sounded more like a SNL parody of Gore. He has handlers in every category so I would think a speech expert would have polished the style up a bit.

One has only to watch and listen to President Bush's sincere, easy delivery to realize how the human voice can move people to laughter, tears, cheering - whatever.
