Excerts from MAUREEN DOWD's article His Lyin', Sighin' Heart in todays New York Times: Bill Turque, who wrote a Gore biography, says the vice president has been exaggerating for a long time. He liked to say, for instance, that he was responsible for sending people to jail through his crusading work as a reporter at The Tennessean, when in fact no one went to jail, although two city officials were indicted. "He was always under pressure to be the hero," Mr. Turque said, "so he told stories where he was the hero." Bob Zelnick, who also wrote a biography of Mr. Gore, agrees: "This grew out of his desire to please his demanding father. . . . He has this need to get more acclamation for his good deeds than they warrant." Several Democrats told The Times's Richard Berke, as he interviewed voters in Circleville, the pumpkin capital of Ohio, that, believe it or not, they trust Bill Clinton more than Al Gore. The pumped-up vice president's pumped-up behavior at the debate did not transform him into the alpha male he longs to be. nytimes.com
