Not defending anyone. Why do you feel the need to put him down?

I'm not a big fan of Al Gore for a number of reasons, not the least of
which was his overblown claim to have invented the internet. More
importantly, we mostly have Al Gore to thank for George Bush's
election to the presidency. Gore was such an incompetent candidate
for election that he couldn't even carry his own home state. In the
presidential debates he came across as unprepared, immature and naive.
He has also been an incredibly unconvincing spokesman for his favorite
cause: Global climate change. The whole debate surrounding the
various climate change issues has been tarnished by his advocacy.
