Al Gore: chicks dig him; guys want to be him.
His experience at a recent book signing has given Gore a glimpse into what life was like for his former boss:
Gray-haired women crawled headfirst under tables lined with books Friday in Green Hills, doing anything to get a glimpse of former Vice President Al Gore at his book signing.
But there was more than the heady whiff of estrogen replacement therapy in the air. Much like Iron John, Gore's drumsong message also resonates deep within the masculine psyche:
Nathan Miller said, "Global warming has actually been an issue that has scared me to death. Ever since I was five years old, I remember crying myself to sleep, thinking the earth would be flooded. And it's true, it's really true.
With the frenzied female groupies and his man's man appeal, Gore struggles to come to terms with his arch-Druid coolness. As he gazed out among the admiring throng, he smiled, shook his head, and paraphrased Cary Grant: "Even I wish I were Al Gore." Softly, he added, This Al Gore, I mean. Not the bitter, failed politician."

Posted by floridacracker at June 24, 2006 11:59 AMThere are so many ways to be snarky about Al that I just can't bring myself to do it. There's just no sport in shooting into the barrel of gaffs he's made in his first book and now this one.
Come on, G. He's so fun, he's almost John Kerry-fun. I want Al to salute and say he's reporting for environmental duty. That'd be awesome.
