Al Gore really needs to get over himself. Here is Muareen Dowd writing about him:
He makes a good guru. But that is probably disastrous in the White House. Jimmy Carter is an example of this. Maybe some people are too good for politics? Let that be their consolation.

Al Gore really needs to get over himself. Here is Muareen Dowd writing about him:
The man who was prescient on climate change, the Internet, terrorism and Iraq admitted that maybe his problem had been that he was too far ahead of the curve. He realized at a conference that “there’re ideas that are mature, ideas that are maturing, ideas that are past their prime ... and a category called ‘predawn.’That he imagines he is an overlooked savior who was too far ahead of his time is an indication of why he is so wrong.
“And all of a sudden it hit me,” he told John Heilemann of New York magazine last year. “Most of my political career was spent investing in predawn ideas! I thought, Oh, that’s where I went wrong.”
He makes a good guru. But that is probably disastrous in the White House. Jimmy Carter is an example of this. Maybe some people are too good for politics? Let that be their consolation.
