More Gore!: Page 2 of 2

Earlier this week, we posted the latest edition of "Last Mile," which included the Top 11 Reasons Al Gore joined the board of Apple Computer. As we promised, here are the other entries that didn't make the final cut, but...
May 14, 2003
  • He's always been a fruity kind of guy. -- Fred Ensminger
  • Al Gore thought it was a "Rite of Passage" to be on the The Board since
    he probably founded the Apple Newton at the same time he invented the
    Internet. -- Jeffrey G. Anders
  • With Al Gore a proxy vote adds a new dimension -- Jerry Howard
  • Steve Jobs hires better looking interns than his last boss!! -- Ken Savage
  • "All my favorite flavors!" -- Gord Belsey
  • He wanted to get a free IMac! -- Fred Wood
  • His goofy beard won't look so out of place with all the
    programmer-types hanging out in Apple headquarters. -- Dennis Moore
  • Nobody will pay $150,000 to hear one of his speeches. -- Dennis Moore
  • "You know you win some, you lose some, and then there's that
    little-known third category." ??Al Gore, summing up the 2000 election
    during a speech in Florida -- Tim Hertz
  • He believes he will be working for 'Bill' again, but doesn't realize it
    is the wrong company. -- Greg Jones
  • Tipper wanted to get him out of the house. -- Beth McHenry

Thanks to everyone for their submissions.
