I know that An Inconvenient Truth was semi-facetiously marketed as the scariest film you'll ever see, but I found it more depressing than anything else. Kind of like the post-'96 Bob Dole or the post-2000 John McCain, Al Gore can be an extremely interesting, witty, and entertaining guy, and every time he made a crack in the movie towards the Administration or the global warming skeptics, I cried a little inside, wondering where the hell this guy was during the 2000 campaign season and who was that loser yammering on about lockboxes and his ninety-year old friend Millie from Illinois who had to choose between buying her heart medicine and buying bread? I know there's a lot of blame to spread around, between Elian Gonzales and a president who couldn't keep it in his pants and an extremely stupid electorate, but if you need even more of a reason to get pissed at America's campaign-by-committee method of selecting and marketing our leaders, here's a 2000 video of an unguarded Gore and family, directed by the same guy who did that music video with Christopher Walken.

Feel free to start crying now.
