But she had just fallen asleep from sheer boredom.; 9/17/05, 10:39 AM

I really wanted to kiss her, but I'm lousy at reading signals that say, "OK" or "Not OK", so rather than face the embarrassment of a turn away, I went for a hug and kiss on the cheek. From your headline I see I could've used the line: "I'd like to go Al Gore on ya." Would've either provoked a kiss or a laugh... Thanks Ann!; 9/17/05, 1:42 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Good idea, Irish Lad. For most women, Al Gore is a real turn on.; 9/17/05, 4:28 PM
Simon said...: I did think he was quite handsome back in 1992 but that was before I ever heard him open his mouth. Afterwards, not so much. Now he's most definitely not handsome.

...While, bizarrely enough, I think that as Hillary Clinton has entered middle age, I would argue that she has become increasingly attractive. Although, as with Comrade Gore, the attractiveness usually begins to drain when she opens her mouth.

(Although, I should say in fairness to Clinton that she is by no means the liberal harridan that she is usually caricatured as; much of what she has said in the last few years is emminently centrist and intelligent).; 9/17/05, 5:39 PM
