"He's just as icky as ever : "icky" being a term of art :-)

I saw the previews for Gore's new movie last night. He's just as icky as ever -- that's my personal, idiosyncratic, knee-jerk irrational reaction. Love the qualifiers. And the technical language--"icky." I'm not much of a Gore supporter. I don't think he survived to the Jersey primaries in 88 but, had he done so, I would certainly not have voted for him. Nor was I excited/pleased with Clinton's selection of him for the vp role in 92. He's a policy work without any poetry in his soul. At least the public version of Gore. As I've said before, some friends of mine who know him contend the private Gore does. Clinton was/is a policy wonk but, definitely, one with soul. Definitely a public soul. Perhaps an excess. But who knows if there is a "new" Gore; there were Nixon incarnations several times over. Perhaps Gore has one or two in him as well. He's one of the original powers behind the throne, perhaps powers in front of the throne of the DLC. That made him a Dem centrist in the middle to late 80s. Hard to tell where the center is these days.
