Goracle, Boracle

Al Gore assaults us with his latest book promo, so pompous even the WaPo's Dana Milbank has dared to lampoon him.

Publication this month of Gore's jeremiad against Bush, "The Assault on Reason," has fed fervent hopes among environmentalists and others on the left that he will run again for the presidency -- an unlikely prospect, but one Gore does not completely dismiss. Yet reading Gore's book, or listening to his speeches, may remind some of those same supporters what they liked least about him the first time he ran, in 2000. Gore is usually smart and sometimes prophetic -- but, all too frequently, pedantic.

Gore's the smartest guy in the world, like Hillary's the smartest woman. And more people should recognize this. Goracle the Boracle.
