...Elegant, yes. Elegant to the point of being sinister. That's what I was aiming for. Hence the little cravat and those Japanese flip-flop shoes. To give him the sense that it was all too good to be true...
...that Gore is the only hedger in the race. Bush fudges whether he intends to make abortion illegal, as the Republican platform he embraced would do. His insistence that being a Bush closed as many doors as it opened is a Clintonian fable. Bradley's signature flip-flop is on ethanol, which he once damned as a ludicrous subsidy; but as a presidential candidate he embraced it after saying a bit disingenuously that Iowans had helped change his mind. Bradley didn't reveal his heart ailment until it forced him to the hospital. He has yet to release his medical...

(They?re likely to start with Bradley?s recent Iowa flip-flop on ethanol subsidies, which he once called "highway robbery.") Then there?s the debates ?- or at least the debates Gore has begun pushing Bradley for ?- which will for now consist of a near-debate "joint appearance" at an October 27 town hall meeting in New Hampshire, the only confrontation Bradley has agreed...
