Which is not that far off from saying he's a twit.
Gore was apparently quite effective in his "reinventing government" effort (i.e., dealing with a bunch of silly rules that caused inflated costs). But being a good technocrat and being the public face of the party are very different things. Gore rose to his level of incompetence when he attempted the latter.
None of this is to say that I didn't vote for him, of course. The alternatives being what they were.
