There's Gotta Be Some Kind of Medication

Senator Bob Dole did okay in commercials for Viagra after he lost the election to President Clinton. Surely there is some drug company out there that makes an anti-psychotic or anti-Alzheimer's drug that could use Al Gore as a spokesman. isn't there?
The ad would run like this.
First, a few seconds showing wooden-Al during one of his campaign speeches on the run-up to his loss in the 2000 elections.
Next, about fifteen to twenty seconds of this, where clearly Al has gone off his rocker; shouting into the microphone, blathering on about conspiracies, forgetting, as Alzheimer's patients do, all eight years of his vice-presidency when terrorists grew ever bolder, killing diplomats and sailors and airmen alike, and he and Bill did nothing except turn-tail in Mogadishu.
Final scene, Al and Tipper on the couch, and Al's back to normal, big wooden smile on his face, maybe even wearing that plaid shirt again. Scene fades to some pastel colored pill floating above a field of flowers. Announcer says "Don't let psychosis (or Alzheimers) destroy your retirement years and take away all those great memories. Ask your doctor if (insert drug name here) is right for you, and let the real world be your reality again."
I need to get into advertising, this is gold!

No joke, Algore would be perfect for the part. Too bad he's not the candidate this time around.

Still, if the disease were multiple personality disorder.... :)
