      Al Gore's VP pick in 2000. The last generation's Joe Manchin. Instrumental in killing the public option when the Democrats had a supermajority. Enormous piece of shit.

      He was the designated bad guy that the Democrats blamed for why Obamacare didn't have a public option. Kind of the Joe Manchin of the 2000s.
