...think whose Doppelganger Al Gore '69 is, if Clinton is heir to the King. Perhaps Pat Boone? Gary Lewis? Better, I think, not to stretch, and instead to wait for a politician who has half the gusto of a Clinton or a Pierre Trudeau. Our natural disgust for the insipid, bloodless legalism of this election, coupled with Marcus' insights on our attraction to political depravity, go a long way toward explaining what the hell we must have been thinking back...
...Some of the mix's downfalls are apparent. The sameness of many songs reveals this style's infancy. And it gets insipid after the 10th diva professes her unending love for you, baby.

To Lake's credit, several of her horizontal compositions are unusually strong in their geometric structure...

Both played to their stereotypes not only on camera but off camera as well. After just one insipid sentence--"Hi, I'm Al Gore, Democratic candidate for President"--Gore began micromanaging. "I thought that line was out," he said. Meanwhile, Bush asked SNL writer Jim Downey to include even more malapropisms. After stumbling over the nonword "ambilavent," Bush turned to the crowd and said, "I don't know...
