Follow the Teddy Roosevelt model: if you're going to be an intellectual in American public life, you've got to make sure you've killed a bunch of the "enemy" all on your own to prove your manliness. Maybe Gore killed some people in Vietnam, but that was too long ago, and too hidden from public view.
