...says he is. He does admit that he was drunk when he made the offending antigay remark, though he has since kicked alcohol and, in the course of recovery, "cooled down a bit," he says. "I was the kind of guy who could strangle an inanimate object. I was a road-rage kind of guy." Asked if his views on abortion and divorce have softened, he says, "No, they haven't changed much. People call me Attila the Hun and all this stuff, but it's how I attempt to live my life. There are basically 10 rules, and they...

What filters down to the mostly-just-disgusted-by-now public will be that Bush went to the Supreme Court to stop manual recounts, and he won. And Gore, though he didn't go looking for a fight, lost.
