The Gore-Gingrich Comparison

Al and Newt are indignant that the preachy moralism of policy wonks can’t overcome the weight of their "personality traits" and "historical baggage," not to mention to the general public’s TV-driven preoccupation with the insignificant fates of prettier people. Still, Gore’s and Gingrich’s partisan presentation of real knowledge about weighty issues makes them both popular with their party’s base and easy targets for attack by the other party’s media. Fox amd NPR loves them both.

Newt talks sense. Gore talks socialism. Surely that's a more important difference than the superficial similarity of their "preachiness."

Peter has a beef, to say the least, with Newt.
