When asked a political question, Al Gore told the truth. What's so hard to grasp about that?
If he had wanted to make a political answer, it would have been vastly different, something along the lines of, "The American people can look at my positions and make up their own mind about whether I've changed."
Instead, he told the direct, honest truth--we're run by a group of right-wing extremists.
It's a sad day when the politics-watchers can't distinguish between the truth and playing politics.
