...game, shown everywhere on television. Did Mike Deaver come out of retirement (and change political parties) to coach Al and Tipper? "Think Hyannisport, 1960 - think Kennedys!" Gore gets credit for the best cynical JFK imitation since 1988, when Gary Hart would descend from his campaign plane with one hand thrust in his jacket pocket, thumb protruding, à la Jack, and walk gingerly across the tarmac, as if he had injured his back while swimming away from the wreckage of a PT boat...
