Political World Readies Itself for the 'New Al Goreâ
To the resounding tones of AC/DCâs "Back in Black," former Democratic contender Al Gore kicked off his 2004 bid for president this week. His wife, Tipper, stood beside him, decked in the latest Goth attire.
Not since the advent of sliced bread has the marketing world been so aflutter with talk of a complete brand makeover.
Describing himself as a "new" candidate for a new century, Gore did his best to shed images of the dull candidate that derailed his previous campaign.
"The uptight, stiff Al Gore is a thing of the past. Party on dudes," said the renovated candidate, sporting a new spiked purple haircut that matched the purple streaks in his beard.
Goreâs responses to questions from members of the press were also a marked departure from his previous manifestation as the epitome of rigidity.
When asked what he thought of the Bush administrationâs policy to the Middle East, Gore replied, "Like, whatever."
Similarly, when questioned about Joe Liebermanâs decision to test the waters as possible Democratic candidate, the new Gore said, "Itâs cool by me, man. Al Gore is not going to have cow about it."
