...have you heard that this week? Even George Bush said so, adding that it made Lieberman just like him! Lieberman dispatched that one with the old chestnut about thinking the veterinarian and the taxidermist are alike since both give you back your dog. How like a good guy to tell such a lame joke with such obvious delight. Rubber-faced, slow-talking, yet irrepressibly exuberant, Lieberman at his introduction in Nashville, Tenn., was already rubbing off on the usually constrained Gore, who nearly scampered about the stage retrieving a camera left there by Tipper and handing Lieberman a handkerchief...

Indeed, at 22, in a room full of White House advisers, Karenna came up with the best line for Gore in his debate against Jack Kemp: "If you won't use any football stories," Gore said, "I won't tell any warm and humorous stories about chlorofluorocarbon abatement." This time around, she has helped develop lines like "The presidency is not an academic exercise," which Gore used to nail Bill Bradley in the primaries. She tweaks Gore's speeches and debate answers, always pushing him to speak plainly and with...
