Yeah, people that have the ability to reason are turned off by it. I have a feeling there are those young bohemians (whose votes, gore and his kind lust after) who just eat that stuff up.
You know, like, "Oh wow, man...that al gore is so cool."
He really just needs to take that act to poetry night at the corner coffee house.
Al just locked up the vote in Cambridge and Berkeley, he is securing his base.
You would think that Gore would know better than to release an interview like this at this stage of this career because of the potential blowback. This sort of mistake highlights a key difference between Gore and the Clintons. The Clintons have much more finely tuned political antennae and they understand how this sort of language would be perceived. Which is not to say that they are perfect either, they have their own share of gaffes. But not whopper after whopper , like Al " I created the internet" Gore.The Clintons probably believe much, if not all, of what Gore had to say about the media, think VRWC. The Clintons probably use the same language too, but in private, because they know it would have the potential to alienate people.
I now want Gore to run more than ever because of the sheer entertaiment value his campaign will have.
