As Seeing the Forest reminds us, the Gore Tried to Scam Free Tickets, not that there's anything wrong with that, Story is reminiscent of the Clinton LAX haircut story, which was 100% pure horeshit. There was a real story there -- a delightful tale of a coordianted crap campaign by manipulative politicos, but that story was never as good as the Bill Clinton Got A Haircut And For Some Reasons Airplanes Couldn't Take Off Story.
Which, if you think about it, never made any goddamn sense anyway.
