- catalog abstract ""In this guided tour of Goredom, Debra Saunders shows us Al Gore in all his political incarnations: the eco-guru battling "consumptionism," the urban theorist with a "Livability Agenda" for the communities of "Goretopia," the education politician pushing universal preschool, the advocate of big government who wants to turn the nanny state into a strict governess, and the would-be racial conscience of America worrying about the "evil in the human soul."". "Few other contemporary American politicians have had so many big ideas. Saunders dissects them with wit and understanding while tracing Al Gore's evolution from the pampered "Prince Albert" whose parents saw him as the foundation of a political dynasty, to the "triple smart" Ivy League politician ingeniously designing his shifting positions on abortion and other issues so that he could fulfill this destiny. She describes his midlife crisis in 1988 after he lost his first run for the White House and almost lost his only son in an automobile accident, his subsequent efforts to recreate himself as a prophetic figure diagnosing our social ills, his emergence as a hardball politician willing to "tear out the throat" of his rivals, and the undertow of compromise and scandal he has struggled against as Bill Clinton's "junior president.""--BOOK JACKET.".
