This is what you meant to post, I think. Al’s Screwy Scrawlings Can’t Pass for Intelligence by Ron Rosenbaum Like many people, I’m just furious at Al Gore for the way he’s blowing this election. At this point, even if he bumbles through and wins it, he’s lost me. I mean, I’d vote for the guy over George W.–I do think there is a difference. But one thing has become clear: In running the most stupid and inept Presidential campaign in modern history, making what should be a runaway victory (given this economy) too close to call with less than a week left, the difference is not intelligence. I think it’s time to abandon the universal conventional wisdom that it’s Bush the lightweight airhead versus Gore the heavyweight intellect. Yes, George Bush is a lightweight–but Al Gore is a heavyweight intellect in much the same way that Alec Baldwin is a heavyweight intellect (in fact, in exactly the same way). Al Gore is the D.C. equivalent of that oxymoronic phenomenon, the Hollywood intellectual: someone who reads a couple of books of lit-ra-chure in a town where everyone else in effect reads "coverage," and who thereby elevates himself in his own mind to deep-thinker status.
