Clinton 2008 = Gore 2000?

The NYT's uber-columnist Frank Rich lays into Hillary Clinton, continuing the reaction against the inevitability of an HRC nomination.

Discussing her marathon round of the talkshows last weekend, Rich says:

What I saw on television last Sunday was the incipient second coming of the can't-miss 2000 campaign of Al Gore .... almost every answer she gave last Sunday was a rambling and often tedious Gore-like filibuster. Like the former vice president, she often came across as a pontificator and an automaton.

To make matters worse, the New York Times dubs Hillary Clinton's fake-laugh-response to difficult questions The Cackle, which it then devotes an entire news feature to. Hmm.
