Well, I didn't see the interview, but I did see Gore when he said that Clinton had nothing really wrong and would probably go down in history as one of the greatest Presidents that ever lived. So if he now is changing his tune, the speech writers must have done a number on him. Where was the interview? Was it right after he announced in Tn.? R

he also made an impassioned speech from the rose garden about how Clinton had done nothing wrong and he was behind him all the way.

True enough.

Not to defend him purposely, but how many times have we seen "political teammates" do such, to help the other? I'm not saying it's right, only that it happens. Personally, I view such speeches as "have to's" and don't put much stock in them. Besides, I forget the time frame of that speech - how candid had Clinton been at the time?? [For that matter, how candid has Clinton been to date? It's beyond me that he seems to think the public is that naive.]

Your point about both Gore and GB have silver-spooned backgrounds is true too.
