Gore as Blakean

[RonButters at AOL.COM]

Is she talking about the poet William Blake? He used to sit around in the
back yard naked (with his wife)--this was in the early 1800s, much to
everyone's scandalation. And he wrote Tiger Triger Burning Bright. Doesn't
sound like the Al Gore I know and love.

Has anyone suggested that Al Gore has adopted the previous vice president's
political sensibility?

became a Gore campaign consultant) about her characterization of Al Gore as

"Blakean."


Did anyone here see this and have any idea what they were talking about?

What constitutes a Blakean personality? Please don't tell me it refers to an

unappreciated, misunderstood genius.
