THE WILDERNESS CAMPAIGN: Al Gore lives on a street in Nashville
2004-09-09
We've been talking a lot about Al Gore today, and this is the New Yorker article that some have mentioned. Best part: the writer notes that, as a basic introvert, Al Gore was not suited to run for or be president, and would have been better off (in his life and psyche) if his daddy had let him become a college professor. Ouch.

#5  Let's remember that Gore was perched one Biggie-sized order of fries from the big chair for eight years. I don't understand whether he was always this way due to paraquat injestion, whether he totally lost his marbles after the Florida deal or whether this is all a paid gig for him now.

#4  If the buzz from his students at Columbia J-School are to be believed, he sucked at the professor thing, too.
Double ouch.

#3  Right, moose, these days Al's working on another creation, something called the innernet.

#2  I jokingly suggested to a friend a long time ago that Al Gore's eventual fate would be to become a hippie living in an Ashram somewhere in the Pacific northwest, writing bad protest poetry to bad protest guitar music, using lots of words that rhyme with "blue".

#1  From the article,

"His plate was crowded with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast..."

later in the article

"...Gore has since dispensed with the beard but not the weight. He is still thick around the middle. He eats quickly and thoroughly, and with a determined relish,"

but in his recent speeding arrest the officer wrote 200 for his weight - maybe it was kg
