The angels of our better nature were hard at work in Florida in 2000. How CLOSE this madman came to the whitehouse should give all of us the willies...

I glanced at Gore's book in the store. My plan is to read it when I can get it for an appropriate price at a yard sale, but until then I'm not going to help enrich Al. Based on browsing, however, I'd say Ben Stein has it dead right.

I skimmed for mostly for tone while checking the index to drop in on a couple of my pet issues. Gore has been one of the leading practioners in recent years of the politics of hysteria. I was looking for some acknowledgement of his own excesses, a discussion of how the dynamics of modern campaigning can pull good people into the gutter, and an effort by Gore to meet his opponents fairly on the issues. Nope, nope, and nope.

The Assault on Reason is simply a tirade on the theme that evil people (i.e., anyone who disagrees with Al) are able to find a platform and an audience.

Gone politically postal. "Nuttier than a squirrel turd," as one FReeper says.

HAHAHA!

AlGore’s book, “The Assault on Reason”, is exactly that.

An aptly named tome, even if the foaming drooler that wrote it meant something else by it.

AlGore was, is, and always will be, a self-important, sanctimonious windbag.

...where Bill Clinton has always seemed too comfortable in his skin, Gore has often seemed inclined to burst out of his, like some demented political version of the Incredible Hulk.”

Visually accurate description. He's like Peter Boyle in 'Young Frankenstein' tap-dancing to 'Puttin' on the Ritz'.

[Didn’t Gore drop out of a divinity school for preachers?]

Yes, Vanderbilt University. Divinity school. Five F’s out of eight classes. And we were told he’s smarter than “that other guy” who earned a degree in business from Yale.

But AlGore is REALLY smart because he runs around (flies on private jets actually) giving speeches about science. Even though he’s scientifically illiterate, and wouldn’t recognize a logical fallacy if it bit him on the left buttock.

EXTHELTHIOR!!!

Clinton is Gantry,,Gantry had a warmth and charisma.

I have long contended Al Gore is Asperbers gone bad. He never had even one oar in the water. He has always had something wrong with him, from childhood on. I suspect Asbergers. But now he is plain looney.

Imo, Clinton was Mordecai Jones, the Flim-flam Man.

Al Gore is one of the bitterest little men I've ever seen. He is offended by the idea that someone dares disbelieve him.

Say, wahtever you want about George W Bush, the man does not give a wit about his critics.

Could never see the attraction to algore.

He flunked out of law school, and then divinity school. (How do you flunk out of divinity school?)

He seems so damned imbalanced, even when he's getting iced tea.

I remember how he couldn't even take care of his rented property in Tennessee, and he now presumes to think he can solve the problems of the earth?

Simply astounding!

I feel genuinely sorry for Al Gore! He never had a chance as his father and one Armand Hammer started brainwashing the poor fellow at birth.

Armand Hammer, Occidental Petroleum, and the Gore Family

Al Gore is, perhaps, the most STUPID man ever to be inflicted on the American people ( Idunno’, maybe Jimmy Carter is more stupid- hard to tell). He HAS to know, however, that unless he comes up with some half-baked crusade like “global warming” he ends up ONLY on the trash heap of history. An ego like his won’t live with that...

The first few dozen pages, while hyperpartisan, mainly excoriate a dumbed-down, trivia-and-celebrity-obsessed culture, and in the age of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan who could disagree?

Remind me again which administration had more stupid celebrities hanging around the White House and Lincoln bedroom, day and night?

He described Al Gore well ... and described even better the attitude of the left toward the right.
