Al Gore's resume
Sound to you? A lot more so than Hillary, at least:
This is how Al Gore's resumé reads as of this morning:
Son of a great senator.
Harvard graduate, with honors.
Vietnam veteran.
Award-winning investigative journalist.
Congressman.
Senator.
Vice President.
Winner of the popular vote for President of the United States.
Best-selling author.
Environmental activist.
Academy Award winner.
And, now, Nobel Peace Prize winner--he shares the prize with the UN'sIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change--for "their efforts to buildup and disseminate greater knowledge about manmade climate change, andto lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteractsuch change."
As resumés go, that is one for the top of the pile.
It even trumps Bill Richardson, who until this point had the .
And actually, there is more to Gore's resume that still should be added:
- Not corrupted by the Washington establishment.
- Been out of Washington for the last six years.
- Not indebted to Washington PAC's.
- Thinks outside the proverbial box known as 'Washington'.
We can dream, cant we?
As much as I love Gore I would never consider being someone's son, wife, or anything else to be impressive. Other than that, it is quite sad that he will not run, apparently because he feels that Clinton's machine is unstoppable.
