| Description | WASHINGTON - Al Gore, the Movie, is coming soon to a theater near you. Well, maybe. But Wednesday's release of "An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary about the former vice president's crusade against global warming, has generated a wave of buzz that has set political tongues to wagging: Will he run for president again?
The liberal blogosphere is alight with chatter over a man once parodied for his stiff, pedantic style, now garnering boffo reviews for his passion and humor. Mr. Gore outshone the likes of Tom Hanks and Halle Berry at Cannes, writes the conservative-turned- progressive Arianna Huffington in her blog. On "Saturday Night Live," Gore's recent parody of himself as president - he's solved global warming and Big Oil wants a bailout - would make a good campaign ad, say the ex-veep's fans.
Gore, who lost the disputed 2000 election to President Bush, insists that after two terms as Bill Clinton's vice president and two runs for the Oval Office - he first tried in 1988 - he's done with presidential politics. In interviews, he refers to himself as a "recovering politician." But he's added a new caveat: "You always have to worry about a relapse," he recently told the Atlanta Progressive News.
