No, Gore definitely admitted to smoking marijuana and he didn't even try 
to pretend that it was an aberration.  I saw him do this in an interview 
but I'm sure you can find it on the web.  Clinton claimed to have smoked 
but not inhaled -- no one believed that!  Bush -- I don't know what he has 
said about it.  Most people believe that he used marijuana and cocaine and 
was an alcoholic but I'm not sure of the nature of the evidence for some 
of those claims.

I don't know if he wants to draw extra attention to it.  We'll see how it 
works out.  It is one of his problems though - you are right about that.
