[lbo-talk] Gore and Nader "Quite Cordial" These Days

[mike larkin]

A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP? I hear that Al Gore and Ralph
Nader - whose third-party candidacy is still blamed by
some Democrats for Gore's 2000 defeat by George W.
Bush - are actually quite cordial these days. The two
former antagonists are apt to run into each other this
weekend while accumulating bags of swag at the
Sundance Film Festival, where they'll be attending the
premieres of documentaries about themselves. "I think
Gore is much better out of office," Nader told me
yesterday, adding that he's a big fan of the ex-veep's
speeches about the Bush administration (which he
believes should be collected in a book), including
yesterday's barnburner attacking President Bush's
surveillance of American citizens. "That's the speech
the Democratic leadership in Congress should have
given weeks ago," Nader said, adding puckishly: "I
bear him no ill will. He took more votes from me than
I did from him."
