Gore - Competent, Articulate, Statesman, Boring
I finished Gore's new book The Assault on Reason. The arguments are logical, compelling, and worth reading. If you thought the Bush administration was just bad, but going to be gone soon, this book might change your mind. According to Gore, while they may be gone relatively soon, they have started down a path that threatens our safety, our respect for law, and the future of our democracy.
In many ways, I'd prefer to have Gore as a candidate for the presidency over the current motley bunch.
However, this book is another example of why it is so hard for him to win. He's pretty boring. He takes twice as long to say something as he needs to.

Though I haven't read Gore's book, I have to agree with you about his wisdom.
He should have been our President instead of George Dubya in the first place. How different things might be now.
Had we known THEN how things would turn out, boring might have been preferred.
Let's all seek our entertainment from the industry designed for it (the movies, TV, theatre, etc.) and let our elected officials be boring or physically unappealing if they are wise and know what they are doing.
I'd like to see Gore run again... I'd sure vote for him.
Thanks for great reviews on your readings.
