Al “Stiff Guy & Serial Exaggerator” Gore
摘要
In this chapter, attention turns to Al “stiff guy and serial exaggerator” Gore, Bill Clinton’s vice president. Gore had been known for some time as a somewhat unexciting personality. Gore himself occasionally joked about his lack of dynamism. However it was during the presidential campaign of 2000 that his “stiff guy” caricature emerged and took hold. This was in part the result of an iconic Saturday Night Live sketch parody of one the campaign 2000 presidential debates. Gore is also remembered by many as a serial exaggerator who stretched the truth almost to its breaking point.
