Every time I see Al Gore I am reminded of the scene in the movie “Brother Where Art Thou” where the Mississippi governor chases his son around hitting him with his hat because his son said something stupid. Imagine Al Gore Sr a smart but corrupt southern politician of the old school as the Mississippi governor and Al Gore Jr as the son. My mind’s eye can picture that scene with Sr chasing Jr around hitting him with a hat or rolled up newspaper over something stupid that Jr said!
Good comparison.
Gotta give Gore credit though: he did figure out how to make big bucks from a sham. Him and Professor Harold Hill.
