...latest edition of Al Gore endorsed Howard Dean for President last week. This surprised a lot of people, including me. But Gore 6.0 seems more radical than previous models, with a passion upgrade from the glitches in 5.0 (clumsy populist presidential candidate), 4.0 (clumsy earth-toned presidential candidate), 3.0 (loyal Vice President) and 2.0 (militant New Democratic candidate for President in 1988). Watching Gore and Dean together on the podium--twins in dark blue suits and light blue ties, Gore in populist growl-shout mode, complete with intermittent Southern accent--I realized the utter logic of the move...
...Child Left Behind education bill, only to find that the money he expected to fund the program had been left behind. Democrats also enabled Bush to pass his tax cuts, his Medicare prescription-drug plan, the Patriot Act--and, the most egregious case, the Iraq war resolution. When Howard Dean made his landmark speech to the Democratic National Committee last February, he opened by asking, "What I want to know ... is why in the world the Democratic Party leadership is supporting the President's unilateral attack on Iraq?"

...allies to help in the policing and reconstruction of Iraq, or will he be encouraged to stick to his current course? And how will this victory affect Bush's re-election campaign in 2004--and, perhaps more to the point, the campaigns of the Democratic candidates, including front runner Howard Dean, who want to replace...
...even more precious tabloid metal, the single dad mucking about with his three kids or on the town with his current co-star and new girlfriend, Sienna Miller. It all bespeaks such virility, it's no wonder that Martin Scorsese has him playing Errol Flynn in the all-star Howard Hughes biography The Aviator. His press makes it clear: the man is gorgeous, charming and 20° cooler than you the moment he wakes...
