I had the very unfortunate opportunity to listen to Al Bore, I mean Gore give a speech in a ballroom in the Marriott Crystal Gateway in the late 1990's. It was for something related to the Dept of Education & I worked for ED/OIG. I had already had enough of the Clinton Admin by them. Still, I went out of my way to get permission to attend because he was our VP & I figured this would probably be the only time I'd ever get that close to one of the most powerful people in the world. They provided coffee & pastries, which turned out to be a life saver. Gore was so dreadfully boring I had to pound several cups of coffee to keep from falling into a coma. There were less than 500 people there. I bet half of them began to nod off at one point or another before it was over. And some folks just gave it up & went to sleep.
