What a shame, Al!
If it wasn't for Bill Clinton, you'd be reproducing the miracle of generating huge political donations from poverty-vow taking Buddhist temples all across the world!

FULL TITLE: "Al Gore blamed Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky for costing him the presidency – but power-mad Hillary had already torn apart the president and the VP"
Al Gore never forgave Bill Clinton for 'betraying' him over the Monica Lewinsky scandal and costing him the 2000 election, a new book reveals.
A new book claims that Gore felt Clinton's 'impeachment cast a permanent shadow on their joint accomplishments' and ruined his chance of succeeding him as president.
Gore's camp thought that Clinton 'did not want Gore to succeed' against George W Bush after he was impeached following his affair with Lewinsky.
First In Line: Presidents, Vice Presidents and the Pursuit of Power gives fresh insight into the dark tensions at the heart of the relationship between Gore and Clinton.
The two men were like 'brothers' but their friendship turned to animosity in part due to Hillary Clinton clashing with Gore as she built her own power base in the White House.
As Gore sees it there has been 'no closure' on the feud and he only endorsed Hillary in a Tweet four months before the 2016 election amid panic from Democrats.
Clinton's legacy as president is being re-examined in the #MeToo era, and earlier this week he was challenged about the Lewinsky affair on NBC's Today show.
First in Line, by New York Times bestselling author Kate Andersen Brower, takes a different track and looks again at his relationship with Gore.

His personality was unlikeable.
My best word to describe him was “Condescending”
Yes, he was condescending to his opponents, but he was condescending to the American people.
He acted like we almost didn’t deserve his high intelligence to lead us.
What a shame, Al!

How about Clinton’s screwing the Miami Cubans and Elian Conzalez
But then, when have dims done the right thing or shown any integrity during one of their scandals?
It was the Communists in Florida who didn’t think Al Gore Jr. was FAR Left enough.
Even without the Greens, the other Communist parties on the ballot got enough votes...
ML/NJ
Nah. He lost cause he’s fat and stupid. And he farts too much.
If Al Gore had simply managed to win his home state of Tennessee, he would have been elected President.
Did Gore write off Tennessee in 2000? If so, he was a fool...
Gore is correct.
Lol. like that would happen.
It was the hanging chads fault!!
They had accomplishments? Who knew?
No Al, actually you lost because of global warming.
Gore lost about 50,000 votes from Cuban-Americans that Clinton got in 1996.
No. Being such a loser and intellectual light-weight cost this fat slob loser the election (among many pother reasons). The guy is a self-important cretin.
There was prosecution. Al’s excuse was he had to pee while certain details were hammered out.
Seriously, as bad as 0bama was...
As bad as Hillary Clinton would have been...
Imagine the damage done by eight years of the imbecile President Algore. But for a few hundred votes in Florida, it would have happened.
God does watch over the United States of America.
The main reason was the impeachment. Being an intellectual lightweight is no disqualification to be president.
Al winning would’ve made it difficult for Hillary to take the White House. Even harder if copresident Bill Clinton resigned
