Charles is especially on target when he notes that Gore would be a polarizing figure if were to do nothing but sing Happy Birthday. He is to the right what Gingrich is to the left, a marginalizing figure.

Says a lot about us when we attach more or less value to personalities rather than to the validity of arguments.

Which is why I keep saying that there’s a crying need for a sympathetic figure who enjoys the public trust to be the spokesman for the AGW issue. An Asimov or Sagan or somebody. Gore may be right in overview and in every particular. But, as Jonah Goldberg once cracked, his persona is that of “a human toothache.”
