Perhaps, Chatterbox thought, there was something unfair about the LCV calculations.
* Pedant's Corner : the erroneous 85 to 66 percent calculations were almost certainly arrived at by averaging the yearly LCV scores; but LCV calculates a legislator's lifetime score by adding up all his pro-environment votes and dividing that number by the total number of LCV-scored votes that took place while he was in Congress.
The Broder article (or, more likely, the Friends of the Earth handout that Broder was paraphrasing) slightly botched the two candidates' respective scores from the League of Conservation Voters (LCV)--whose ratings go pretty much unquestioned within the environmental movement.
These were 1978, when Gore cast "anti-environment" votes 12 times and received an LCV rating of 56 percent (his third-worst score ever); and 1980, when Gore cast "anti-environment" votes 15 times and received an LCV rating of 35 percent (his worst score ever).
So Chatterbox knocked those years out of Gore's LCV lifetime score, too.
