Jonah Goldberg once again
Does this make any sense?
"These folks never want to engage whether Gore was in fact telling the truth or exaggerating.

Ezra Klein doesn't think so either.
"If Gore didn't spend the summer in France studying existentialism, he's a liar. If he did, he's weird. Heads Jonah wins, tails Gore loses....read on"
