The Android-American
Mark Steyn doesn't think much of Al Gore's latest attempt at relevance.
The whole thing, as usual, is worth reading, but my favorite bits:
The sight of the Democratic Party wrestling with its conscience is like some old-time carnie freak show: It's strangely compelling, but you can't help feeling it's cruel to put these poor misfits on public display.
and
In fairness to Al, the boy genius was one of only a few senior Democrats with a 12-year consistent robust record on Iraq. But, demonstrating his usual political instincts, he chose to discard his pro-war stance just as his party's senators were discarding their anti-war stance. The Dems have pulled off a remarkable double: Not only does the leadership's belated approval for war look opportunistic, but so does Al Gore's belated opposition to it.
Also read his revised lyrics to the old song, "War!"

What a witty fellow he is! I liked the bit where he quotes a long, convoluted evasion by a senior Dem, and then says, "Got that? It's available from DNC HQ on a bumper sticker, if you've got a tractor-trailer long enough."

Now, be nice Rand. There's no need to insult androids everywhere. Besides, MANNEQUIN-Amercian would be more accurate.
