I never saw this 13-minute video shot by Spike Jonze of Al Gore and his family at home. I learned two things from watching it: Spike Jonez is a brilliant filmmaker and Al Gore is a great guy.
From interview with Jonze:
Q: I think that no matter what party you belong to, whether you are Republican, Democrat, anything, you look at the film and you think that this is somebody who is an honorable guy, a good guy, a guy who's obviously a family man and whose family loves him. You get this really complete picture of the guy.SJ: Yeah. As I said, I didn't know anything about him and I went in just wanting to know who he is, and by the end of the day I felt that they were a really solid family and I really liked them. I think that Al and Tipper have to be good people and good parents to have created a family that's so solid. They look out for each other, and you can feel it. I mean, it's really obvious when you're around a dysfunctional family and it's also obvious when you're around a really functional family.
Image is of Tipper Gore standing next to a nude self-portrait she painted when she was pregnant. That's my kind of first lady.
