Slate -- Take My Candidacy … Please - Gore kills on SNL! By Virginia Heffernan

Gore spent the entire evening poking fun at his presumed frustration at not being president. But this wasn't the performance of a man who wants the job—not even candidate Clinton could have gotten away with making homoerotic jokes and impersonating senators (some boundaries were observed, and cannily so: George Bush wasn't mentioned even once). So, it wasn't surprising when the news arrived today that Gore won't run in 2004. Last night was his kiss-off, and you've got to admire that he delivered it sitting in a hot tub and wearing a silly wig.
