PARK CITY, Utah - Al Gore has no secret service agents or blue-suited entourage. He sits in a Park City hotel room looking laid back and very GQ in his earth-tone ensemble, just like any other Sundance guest with a film in the festival -- with one significant exception.

Gore is in Park City to talk about An Inconvenient Truth, a new documentary film by Davis Guggenheim that chronicles Gore's commitment to the cause of global warming from the time he was a student at Harvard to today.

An Inconvenient Truth had its world premiere last week before a sold-out audience, and was the talk of the town.

The former U.S. vice-president is clearly making an impact, and for many he remains a glowing light on America's political horizon.

1. I about feel out of my chair yesterday

when I heard Eleanor Clift on the McLaughlin Report say that this movie was going to be a big hit and would start to change things.

Gore most have really outdone himself.

2. And of course, the obligatory "earth tone ensemble" reference

It's 2000 all over again! :eyes:
