Late last year a political biography on Gore was released by a former ABC correspondent, I say former for he lost his job because of this book. It is the best expose I have ever read on Gore, I surely hope the Bush camp has memorized it, for this book provdies incredible ammunition to even put slippery Gore on the defensive. What is bad, is I can't remember the name of the book, I have it at my shop, and if there is an interest I will provide the name of it tomorrow. Okay I just did a search at Amazon, here is the info:
Gore : A Political Life
by Bob Zelnick
This is the book that cost the author, Bob Zelnick, his job at ABC. He chose to write an objective, even handed, biography of Al Gore - the man who is well positioned to become the next presidential candidate of the Democratic Party. That was not what our leading liberal network wanted to see from its employees.
The book looks clearly and honestly at the real Al Gore, not the Al Gore that you will see represented by political "spinners" and their cohorts in the media. It fully documents the opportunism and hypocrisy that has marked his career - ranging from his "flips" on tobacco and abortion, to his phony "tour of duty" in Nam, to the his environmental extremism, etc. - but doesn't ignore the accomplishments; his support of the Gulf War and of Ronald Regan's strategic nuclear decisions for instance. If you want to know the truth about the man, and cut through the smog that will shortly be emanating from the political spinners and their focus groups - read this boo
