More Gore Al Gore has been getting flack because he tends to exaggerate his accomplishments. For example, he claimed he invented the Internet, was the main inspiration for Love Story, and translated the Gospels of Matthew and Mark from the original Greek to the Latin Vulgate in a weekend (Tipper kept the kids out of the house). Gore has also been getting flack because he says stupid things, such as referring to Michael Jordan as Michael Jackson, confusing portraits of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, and arguing that Mount Baker is actually higher than Mount McKinley. More recently Gore has been criticized for bringing on Naomi Wolf, author of Promiscuities, as an advisor. Wolf has written about exploring the shadow slut within in an effort to find our authentic identity. Nothing is off limits, she has said, no food, drink or behavior. So she intends to help Gore find himself. Thus the new suit, the pink shirt, and a masculine Fendi handbag. To make Gore more of a man’s man, Wolf has encouraged him to eat barbecue chicken with his hands and wipe them under the armpits of his suit, so no one will notice. Her influence was obvious in Charlotte, NC recently when he was almost drowned out by a chorus of senior citizens. He cried Wolf. The noted psychologist Dr. Z, Meadow Lark suggests Gore’s “penchant for acting stupid has more to do with what he is not saying than what he is saying. In other words he could be hiding something.” There have been unconfirmed reports that for years Gore was getting weekly shipments of prime British beef, even during the so-called mad cow scare. He was certainly looking very beefy until Wolf put him on a strict Atkin’s diet. And he has seemed a little wobbly on the platform of late. Not long ago Tribal Customs, a magazines dealing with Laotian mountain tribesmen, suggested Gore, on R&R from Vietnam, attended a feast in which human remains might have been served up in oxen musk soup. Dr. Z. Meadow Lark suggests that, if Gore did partake of this feast, the effects could take 20-30 years to register. Of course, a heavy consumption of British beef could serve as a catalyst.” In the interest of national security Dr. Lark suggests citizens be on the lookout for the following Gore traits · Incessant use of “I” · Eagerness to spend someone else’s money · Incessant use of “me” · References to mystic Meister Eckhart · Greasy armpits · Using Quayle as a debate coach · Excessive use of “mine” · Spending too much time on dairy farms · Reading Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” · Late night visits to Laotian restaurants To lose one’s mind is a terrible thing.
