New! Al Gore: A User's Manual By Alexander Cockburn & Jeffery St.Clair " Al Gore distills in his single person the disrepair of liberalism in America today, and almost every unalluring feature of the Democratic Party." With these words, two of the great muckrakers of our time, Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, begin the first, most unsparing examination of the personal and political record of this man who was raised from birth to be president of the United State. Unlike The Prince of Tennessee, Al Gore: A User's Manual is a comprehensive reality-check on the whole of Gore's compromised Career. Blinded by obsequious praise The Prince of Tennessee sees Gore as one striving to excel but not to please, while Cockburn and St. Clair reveal clearly that one of Al Gore's distinctive personality traits from Childhood has been his tendency to exaggerate his accomplishments. What sort of a man is Al Gore? What's his real political record? Inside these pages, you will find: How Al Gore and his father got on the payroll of one of America's most ruthless tycoons, Armand Hammer How Al Gore has relentlessly exploited his sister's death and son's accident for personal political advantage How Al Gore violated the most basic journalistic ethics by helping the cops run a sting operation on a black politician in Nashville How Al Gore played midwife to the MX missile How Al Gore became a soul brother of Newt Gingrich How Al Gore race-baited Jesse Jackson and introduced George Bush to Willie Horton How Al Gore shopped his vote in support of the Gulf War to get prime-time coverage for his speech How Al Gore pushed Clinton into destroying the New Deal How Al Gore plotted to stop Democrats from recapturing Congress in 1996 in order to keep his rival Dick Gephard from becoming Speaker of the House How Al Gore leached campaign donations from nearly every corporate lobbyist in DC, and broke pledge after pledge to protect the environment Authors Alexander Cockburn & Jeffery St. Clair
