Gore, whose taped appearance will be broadcast Friday, demonstrated how a farm boy hypnotizes a chicken, after warning the host "You're no spring chicken."

Lieberman, a diehard Yankees fan, appeared live, saying he had a short-lived Little League baseball career. He remembered that, after hitting a double once, he met a woman who thanked him for winning her a dollar -- she said another spectator had wagered a buck that the young Lieberman would strike out.

Vice President Al Gore followed in rival George W. Bush's footsteps when he appeared on "Live with Regis" to demonstrate a skill formerly hidden.

"You can hypnotize a chicken?" Philbin asked.

"I can," Gore deadpanned. "It is a little known farm skill."

Moving next to Philbin, Gore demonstrated, circling his finger around the host's head and pretending to put him under.

"Between now and Nov. 7 you will say only nice things about the Gore-Lieberman ticket," said Gore.

Gore also confessed to being a practical joker, once lathering up with shampoo and then approaching wife, Tipper, with a bottle of hair remover, pretending to have used that.

"She was already a little freaked out about me losing my hair," Gore said.

Philbin, who also hosts the ABC television hit, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," proved a lucky charm to Bush last month. The Republican governor of Texas apparently got a boost in his campaign after appearing on Philbin's morning show, as well as Oprah Winfrey's talk show.

In his appearance, Lieberman spent most of his allotted time talking baseball, saying he was looking forward to the upcoming "Subway Series" championship games between the New York Mets and Yankees.

He also sprang a few baseball trivia questions, a la "Millionaire," on Philbin, complete with the dramatic lighting and jarring music that are the show's trademarks.

Lieberman mentioned his fight against violence and sexually oriented material in the media, saying, "I don't believe in censorship, but I believe that I can be a voice for a lot of parents in this country."

He also told Philbin about attending a rally in his hometown of Stamford, Conn., after being picked as Gore's running mate. Lieberman said his 85-year-old mother attended, but needed a ride home afterward. Lieberman, Gore and a 50-car motorcade took her home, where she said, "Invite your friends in for some cake and coffee."

Lieberman also was speaking to the League of Conservation Voters, intending to contrast to Gore's environmental votes and plans with the Bush record in Texas.

In Wisconsin on Wednesday, Lieberman said that anyone who believes in God is almost automatically an environmentalist. Bush, he said, too often sides with polluters.

"For Al Gore and me, this begins, if you will, as a matter of faith," he said. "If you believe in God, I think it's hard not to be an environmentalist because you see, the environment is the work of God."

Lieberman, who has argued for a greater role for religious faith in public life, cited the biblical stories of creation and Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

"It is said that God put Adam and Eve there to work the garden but also to guard it. I think that obligation, which is not only to experience, enjoy, in some senses develop creation but also to guard it and protect it, is exactly what the environmental movement and environmental protection is all about," Lieberman told more than 1,000 supporters at Bluegill Bay Park.

He said Bush presides over a state with the worst pollution record in the country. In addition, Bush has appointed to the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission people who have associations with polluting companies, including a former chemical company executive, and has favored only voluntary environmental standards for companies that pollute with toxic chemicals, Lieberman said.

"Given a chance to stand with people, families or side with the polluters, Governor Bush has too often chosen to side with the polluters," Lieberman said. "I don't want to give him the opportunity to make that same choice for all of America, including this beautiful state of Wisconsin."

Bush campaign spokesman Ray Sullivan said that the governor is making big improvements in the state's environment, including instituting tougher laws to clean up the air, forcing older power plants to clean up or shut down, and recently submitting to the Environmental Protection Agency plans to reduce industrial emissions in Dallas and Houston by an additional 90 percent.
