Who in their right mind thought Al Gore could become a fashion statement?Yeah, neither did I. But on Boston's uber-chic Newbury Street and in New York's Soho, I've already spotted numerous hipsters sporting Marc Jacobs' new Al Gore fashion line. The recently-released Al Gore t-shirts, tote bags, and trucker hats are now available at all Marc Jacobs retail stores, and they're not even that expensive (at least by Jacobs standards).
My personal favorite is the red "Al, Save Us" tee (click on "special items" to see them). There's also an "Al For President" shirt.
Hipsters aren't the only ones who want him to run. Today AlterNet released the results of its online straw poll in which 13,000 participated. Gore blew away his opponents, with 35 percent of the vote; Feingold was next with 20 percent.

I was thinking about getting one of the "Vote The Bums Out" T-shirts, but as a protest against the Chicago Democratic Machine (Daley, Stroger, Beavers, Guittierez, Obama, Durbin). But I don't want to give Marc the money lest he think I support his half-a**ed Al Gore line.
