In defense of Gore, his parents really screwed him up. His mother, Pauline I believe, was one manipulating woman and his Dad was no charmer either. I remember watching Frontline's The Choice, before the election, in horror at how Al Gore was raised. Really pretty sad.

Sorry but that is not a defense. I know several people who had tyrants or morons as parents and they overcame it to become decent human beings. Gore is just naturally an idiot.

I remember reading that the Gores used to eat in air-conditioned restaurants in the summer while making their black maid sit outside in the car in the heat. That story told me all I needed to know about how mean, selfish and screwed up the Gore family must have been.
