Gore 2.0

Over the last three or four years, I've been developing a big political crush on Al Gore. It began with Sarah Vowell's essay about him in The Partly Cloudy Patriot, and by now it's starting to run out of control. As usual, it will probably end in heartbreak, but a boy can dream.

The American Prospect has just published a lengthy report about him. If you're skeptical, read his spectacular MLK Day speech on the administration's wiretaps first.
