Huey: We know he's dull, he's even admitted it himself. But the question is why is he so awkward, and is there a more sinister significance to it? Some have theorized that Gore appears to lack personality because there is no "real" him. He's a man devoid of genuine passion. A mannequin, if you will...posed and ready to adopt whatever exterior might be politically convenient for any given moment. Is he, in fact, a perpetual fraud? Is that the only way to explain a man who is so soulless, his every attempt at exhibiting genuine humanity-down to a sloppy public display of affection - is premeditated by strategists and stiffly executed with all the believability of a third-rate thespian? Riley: I really hope you bore yourself to death before you end up killing me... Huey: Then again, he is married to Tipper...that could kill any man's spirit...

Luckily for you, Al and Tipper have been separated for 13 years.

If it wasn’t for the Tipper Gore part, you would think he was speaking of DeSantis.

Al Gore is strangely quiet. All the other politicians are still spouting, but he did his thing, then left the scene.

I know Al Gore personally. I had dinner at his house a couple of times. I was dismayed at his divorce because they seemed to be the most loving, compatible couple anywhere.
And, in real life, he was anything but dull. Oh, he had a stilted, reserved style of public speaking, but a lot of us do that. But in private he was really a fun, easy-going guy who, unlike his opponent who people voted for because they thought they’d rather “have a beer” with him although he’d never stoop so low to actually hobnob with the likes of you, you really COULD have a beer with Al Gore — he genuinely likes and respects people, even people who aren’t rich or politically important. And he’s an actual Deadhead (like me) and, again like me, likes their older stuff like “St. Stephen.”
Republicans are really good at falsely characterizing their opponents and repeating their lies often enough that people come to accept them through simple inculcation.

I really hope one of the upgrades GoComics blogged about is the return of a zoom function.
