Gore Hires Feminist Author Wolf
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Al Gore said Sunday he has hired feminist
author Naomi Wolf to help attract younger voters, especially women.
Wolf's books espouse some controversial views. In her latest,
``Promiscuities,'' she argued among other things that schools should teach
such things as masturbation because it is more realistic than abstinence and
safer than sexual intercourse.
Gore was asked on ABC's ``This Week'' about a Time magazine report that Wolf
is deeply involved in his campaign, including advice on how to convince
voters that Gore is not a permanent No. 2 but is an ``alpha male'' who should
be in charge.
``She's a valued adviser, and she'll remain one,'' Gore said. ``She's one of
several campaign advisers.''
He added that Wolf works primarily with his daughter, Karenna Gore Schiff, on
an Internet outreach effort to ``attract young women and young men to
participate more in this campaign.''
Gore spokesman Chris Lehane added later Sunday that he wasn't sure if the
vice president had read any of Wolf's books. Her other works are ``The Beauty
Myth,'' about the impossible physical standards that women are expected to
meet, and ``Fire With Fire,'' which urges women to take up ``power feminism''
and push issues such as pay discrimination and sexual harassment.
``Her focus is on young people and outreach to women,'' Lehane said. ``A
hallmark of Al Gore's career is that he's always looked for a diversity of
views and people, and he constantly reaches out.''
Gore said Wolf was being paid ``a third'' of the $15,000 a month reported by
Time. But Gore aides, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Wolf
was paid $15,000 per month until Donna Brazile took over as campaign manager
this month and cut Wolf's salary to $5,000.
