Goron Alert!
Michael Kelly does the honors in The Unbearable Lightness of Gore

What is much more interesting lies in the "serious" realm. Here a new Gore really is emerging, or re-emerging. This is not the Vice President Gore of the centrist-positioning Clinton White House, not the reinventor of government. This is the Gore of "Earth in the Balance": Gore the thinker of big thoughts, Gore the visionary, Gore the radical, Gore the bold man of the left.

Zzzzzzz

So this, apparently, is where Gore thinks he's going: Full speed ahead into the waters of cultural wars that no one else (including George W. Bush) is interested in fighting, in support of a left-radical redefinition of family values at considerable variance with available evidence and general opinion.

You go, Al.

And take Tipper with you.
