Bob Woodward Recalls ‘Unpleasant,’ ‘Taxing’ Dining Experience With Al Gore

Speaking in Ohio this week, the Youngstown Vindicator reports, veteran investigative journalist Bob Woodward recalled an “unflattering” story about a dining experience with former Vice President Al Gore.

According to the local paper, Woodward “told an unflattering, but amusing story about sitting next to former Vice President Al Gore at a dinner, saying being with him was taxing.”

“To be really honest, it’s unpleasant,” the journalist added of his experience with Gore.

Woodward also said that the former VP “pressed him on why the journalist didn’t go after Bush, who beat Gore in the 2000 presidential election, over the war in Iraq.”
