  • "Thats a good title" XD

  • Drool bucket. Vegetable.  He and Bush deserve each other.

  • Perhaps the greatest American intellectual since Jefferson.

  • @NoGoodBoyo1000 Still a damn eloquent writer, but of course you wouldn't mention that.

  • @SUpersaiyajinjerkbag he's wearing the barrel round his thighs

  • Gore is correct when he assails the state of education in this country.

    People have little to no real foothold in American History or world history for that matter.

    To correct Vidal: there is no real literary or artistic culture in the US not so much culture in general.

    The culture of America is a commercial one, a business culture depending on overwhelming consumerism.

  • Interesting comments from Mr. Gore about Al and how the Supreme Court betrayed the process. The separation of power. But hey, a few appointed judges (who are, let's face it, batshit crazy. I won't name names *cough*Scalia!*cough*Thomas*co­ugh*) can make things happen. To think in the 90s that was just conspiracy x-files crap! ;p

  • he is the last of his kind. his intellectual thought was of a prior era, but still stands today as good advice.

  • @Rico8458

    I love how unapologetic he is in his views.
