Al Gore: A LOSER! Game over, robotic environmentalist.

Rumsfeld: "Real unilateralism means spanking France en la derriere."

Bob Dole:"Buy old blue, dysfunction's over, love Elizabeth."

This week's contest was proposed by Malcolm Fleschner of San Mateo, Calif. Malcolm suggests that you take the name of any person - - living, dead, fictional -- and use the letters of his name, in succession, to form the first letters of an expression appropriate to that person. Yes, it's hard. First-prize winner gets a spangly, furry, hootchy-kootchy outfit that Charo might agree to wear if she were really, really plastered.

First Runner-Up wins the tacky but

estimable Style Invitational Loser Pen.

Other runners-up win the coveted Style Invitational Loser T- shirt. Honorable mentions get the mildly sought-after Style Invitational bumper sticker. Send your entries via fax to 202-334- 4312 or by e-mail to losers@washpost.com. U.S. mail entries are no longer accepted. Deadline is Monday, July 7. All entries must include the week number of the contest and your name, postal address and telephone number. E-mail entries must include the week number in the subject field.

Results will be published in four weeks. No purchase required for entry. Employees of The Washington Post, and their immediate relatives, are not eligible for prizes. Pseudonymous entries will be disqualified. The revised title for next week's contest is by Seth Brown of Williamstown, Mass.
