“You know, I haven’t ruled out the idea of getting back into the political process at some point in the future. Don’t expect to, but if I did get back, it would be as a candidate for president, not in any other position. I don’t expect to ever get back into the political process.” — Al Gore, explaining during a CNN interview today that he isn’t interested in working under the next president.
