Politics as usual

From Gore's 60 Minutes interview, Lesley Stahl reports (Al Gore's New Campaign, Tells 60 Minutes That Doubting Global Warming Is Man-Made Is Akin To Believing Earth Is Flat - CBS News):

"[Gore] says he's fallen out of love with politics. He's selling a cause now, and there are no consultants telling him what to say or how to dress."

A "cause" vs. "politics"? Give me a break. Wait, Gore's derisive view of "politics" may explain a lot about how he lived out his prior profession.
