on the other hand

I just happened to stumble upon Al Gore in a guest appearance on the Jay Leno show. I couldn't be more stunned. Relaxed, calm, poised, funny, self-assured, loose and seemingly completely lacking the rectal stick that so impaired him as vice president. For all practical purposes, he out-Clintoned Bill Clinton in an amazingly fearless and unguarded conversation with Jay.


Where in the world was THIS guy six years ago, and what in the world will it take to get him to run for the office that he should have had since 2000?

Mr. Gore, we need you more than ever. Please step up to the plate for the sake of the country.
