At least Krugman doesn't think Gore is an ambitious, fearmongering liar who wants to run for prez

[Universitario]

The year was 2006:

We are also treated to a heavy-handed, grainy glimpse of Katherine Harris, Michael Moore-style, and are reminded that Mr. Gore is not a rigid blue-state N.R.A. foe (he shows us where he shot his rifle as a farm kid in Tennessee). There's even an ingenious bit of fearmongering to go head to head with the Republicans' exploitation of 9/11: in a worst-case climactic scenario, we're told, the World Trade Center memorial ''would be under water.'' Given so blatant a political context, the film's big emotional digressions—Mr. Gore's tragic near-loss of his young son and the death of his revered older sister from lung cancer—are as discomforting as they were in his 1992 and 1996 convention speeches.

If ''An Inconvenient Truth'' isn't actually a test drive for a presidential run, it's the biggest tease since Colin Powell encouraged speculation about his political aspirations during his 1995 book tour. Mr. Gore's nondenial denials about his ambitions (he has ''no plans'' to run) are Clintonesque."]

6. Wouldn't he love it? To have a thenth of Wilde's brilliance? Not even close

much as it's been said that Wilde displayed his genius at parties and merely his talent in his writings

5. Frank Rich churns hit pieces on Hillary - daily. In 2000 "The Dem party is dead"

was the main theme of his columns - he even had one affter the Monty Python's parrot skit. He is actually just continuing the daily NYT work during the Clinton administration. Although, sorry, Frank! It wasn't you, but Jeff Gerth who INVENTED Whitewater...But you did your part in the Clenis hunt - no one can take that away from you...Good boy, Frank!
