I'll never forget the mention of Al "destroy the internal combustion engine" Gore out pressing the flesh at, of all things, a NASCAR event!

Al "destroy the internal combustion engine" Gore out pressing the flesh at, of all things, a NASCAR event

In June 2000 I freeped Gore at an appearance in Pittsburgh. I could tell he had arrived at the hotel (for a $1000 a plate lunch) when about 20 Chevy Suburbans pulled up, along with the limousine from which Mr. Earth in the Balance emerged. When Al Gore arrives anywhere in a Ford Focus, I'll take him - and the rest of the anti-internal combustion crowd - seriously.
