I don't think he's fit enough to run to the fridge.
Love Al to pieces, but his opportunity for national political leadership has passed. He is still a force to be reckoned with on climate issues--and I'd say recent weather patterns have vindicated him entirely.
Couldn't tell from your gleeful shaming. 
campaign....Happy-Glad juice for everyone! A toast to the next POTUS! Why, he'll be a shoe-in!
yourself. I like Al just fine, but he's got baggage. It's not "gleeful shaming" to point out what is as plain as the nose on your face. This is a board for political discussion, not mindless, dare I say "gleeful," cheerleading.
The biggest bag is his fractured family. It's unfortunate for him, but there it is. He's not yet divorced, he's been separated for years, and he's running around with someone else. The optics on that--like it or not, this is USA not France-- are horrible. His physical health is problematic, too--you need stamina to campaign and he doesn't look like he has much of that.
"We're more careful" means "We generally don't mock"--male candidates, anyway. But noticing isn't the same as mocking. Making jokes about it is a different thing altogether.
Context and nuance are your friends.
I like people who well...like people!
Who knows, someone may have thought there'd be an announcement in less than a day--it's not like we haven't seen those kinds of shenanigans here before.
You've been here two months, and already you're telling people what they need to do, like you're an expert on how the joint runs?
Maybe you need to worry less about other people, and more about yourself. Quite simple, really.
Got me too!
