Watching Gore shoot down the Black Caucus members one after the other.........there are no words.)
I don't know that he had much choice - I don't know what sort of conflict of interest issues might have arisen, but I'm certain the Republicans would have beaten them to death. I'm a little shaky on my Congressional rules of procedure, but I would imagine that if Gore had recused himself, that would have put Senate Majority Leader Lott in charge.
