"Vice President Al Gore acknowledged Sunday a 'miscommunication' on his part in leading reporters to believe he and his wife were the model for the 1970s romance novel 'Love Story'." An article the Tennessean quoted Erich Segal, the author of "Love Story" incorrectly. The Tennessean quoted Segal as saying that "Love Story" was based on both the Gores. Segal claims that he was misquoted in that article, and explained in the 12/14/97 issue of the New York Times, that the male lead, Oliver Barrett IV, was modeled after Gore and Gore's Harvard roommate, actor Tommy Lee Jones. When Gore made the comment about "Love Story", he stated that, "Segal had told some reporters in Tennessee that it was based on him and Tipper." (also from the 12/14/97 NY Times piece). Notice the actual quote is that he heard that Segal had told people that he and Tipper were the inspiration for "Love Story." And yes, Tennessean did report that, but Segal had been misquoted. So, in summary, a reporter misquoted Segal, and Gore mentioned the article where Segal had been misquoted. Diagnosis: Delusions of grandeur.

Max E. Pad's reply to southamerica: Whoever wrote this article is an idiot, i havent heard any kind of mention in the mainstream media about Israel and America planning to attack Iran with nuclear weapons. Not even a single mention, and i challenge you to find any rational person in the mainstream media who has ever talked about that.
LOL, Gore has made quite the life for himself in his head, between inventing the internet, inventing global warming, and being the main character in best selling romances, he lives quite the life. Its too bad it is all only in his head. I guess no one around him has the heart to tell him the truth and ruin his fantasy life.
. July 6, 2011 SouthAmerica: Reply to Nutmeg, Max Pad and Lucrum Since your mindset is frozen in the past and you guys are into rehashing old ideas, then go to the old thread about Al Gore Democratic Party candidate in 2008 â you guys will find a lot of old material to rehash here on this thread there is at least 123 pages of material. Or you can read that entire thread and save us all the repetition of the material that has been beaten to death on the prior discussions. Al Gore - Democratic Party candidate in 2008 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74835&perpage=6&pagenumber=63 June 30, 2007 SouthAmerica: Today I bought the latest issue of âFast Companyâ magazine â the July/August issue â The cover story is about Al Gore. Quoting from the magazine article: âNot long ago, he was the butt of jokes â lockbox, earth tones, a postelection beard. Then he dusted off an old slide show and jumped with both feet into the private sector. The Untold story of how an epic loser engineered what may be the greatest brand makeover of our time. â¦.Financial disclosure documents released before the 2000 electin put the Gore familyâs net worth at $ 1 million to $ 2 million. But today â â¦Available data indicate a net worth well in excess of $ 100 million. The article goes on to explain how Al Gore has been making a ton of money. ***** SouthAmerica: Since that article was published on âFast Companyâ magazine Al Gore's net worth has more than doubled in the last 4 years between his holdings of Google and Apple stock and his Current TV â and just God knows what else he invested his money during that period. By the way, since Max Pad has no idea who Seymour Hersh is, then he can read his bio and educate himself at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_Hersh .
I finished the first 3 videos, I will listen to the rest. He presents very well. They were worth my time. I too agreed that the expansion in the 90s was b.s. expansion. I have said it on et a few times and I predicted real estate prices will fall back to 90s prices a few years ago...(once I lost some of my money in real estate) The major point Rifkin is missing so far is the tie in to the man made global warming. In fact - he explanation about the tipping point and all the CO2 which will be released when the perma frost goes away...explains why the ice core data shows that warming precedes CO2 buildup. In short warming and cooling are part of the earths rhythm... we are probably in a waming cycle and it is probably going to get warmer. No one has shown that man's efforts make a difference. The ice core data shows warming precedes CO2 buildup. Rifkin explains who the CO2 may soon be released in massive amounts. Even if all of man kind was stripped from the earth, there is no reason to think the earth would moderate its cycle.
Have you heard Gore speak? No homo, but he is the least romantic speaker I've ever heard. How could ANYBODY believe that a tale by the name of "Love Story" was based on the guy??
