Humorist Andy S. Borowitz '80 recently wrote a piece for Harvard Magazine about the Harvard-Clinton rumor. Presented with the Gore option, he said he thought that if the vice president won the popular vote but not the Electoral College, he would be in a good position to sit out four years and run again.
"He could be doing a lot of community outreach over the next four years," Borowitz said. "Visiting Buddhist temples is a favorite activity of his."
On the other hand, Borowitz joked, Gore might be a good choice--after all, he invented the place.
"The sad thing is that even if the Corporation chooses him, Bush will still get the job," Borowitz quipped. "Why be president of Harvard when you can just sit on the side and watch Bush for four years and when he does anything wrong just sigh impatiently?"
