Al Gore's performances could be a case study in abnormal-psychology classes.

Bill Clinton was a liberal who could appeal to conservative-leaning Bubba voters.

Comedians still make fun of Bill's out-of-control appetites, but with Hillary, the mockery is about how she lets nothing be out of control.
