Dark Horse Gore Keeps Us Guessing

Al "Hollywood" Gore has thus far remained mum on whether or not he'll run for president, but many have speculated that his waistline is as good an indicator as any (a svelte Gore is a presidential Gore, goes the reasoning).

If his stint on The Daily Show last night is any indication, however, he may be trying to pull a fast one. Gore appeared on the show clad head-to-toe in black—a TV no-no, but perhaps an attempt to capitalize on the shade's renowned slimming effect. Indeed, throughout his chat with Jon Stewart—ostensibly a pit-stop to tout his new book—his overwhelming blackness made it impossible to determine the precise contours of his obviously bulging bod. In any case, bitch tits or not, it sure sounds like he's running.
