Who Says Al Gore Is A Stiff Guy?

Compiled From Wire Services

For Halloween, the vice president dressed up as - Al Gore. He donned a rubber mask of himself and a makeshift white cape over his suit.

And, he lived up to his favorite stiff joke: “If you use a strobe light, it looks like Al Gore is moving.”

With a strobe light going and all the lights turned off, Gore strode to the back of Air Force Two Thursday night to show off his costume.

He even danced a little to 1960s tunes, performing a version of the Macarena that involved motion. Gore is famous for his motionless Macarena. On the plane, he actually moved each arm like a swimmer.

But some on the plane dressed in costume, too - as Buddhist monks, clad in yellow robes, plastic bald heads, with fake money attached to them.

Gore has been avoiding questions over improper and possibly, illegal, contributions from an event held at a Buddhist temple in California in April.
