Ramsey,
The Malaysians have applied the term "kurang ajar" to describe Al Gore. This loosely translates as "lack of [cultural] education", and is typically applied in the Malay speaking countries to describe someone with boorish, or no manners. Asians have long memories, and I fear that if Al ever ascends to the presidency, Asians will be somewhat hesitant about inviting him to speak publicly, unless of course, by that time, true democracies become the norm in the Region (one can still wish, eh?)
Best,
