Gore is just as bad if not worse than most of the rest of them.Rick wrote:Easy there pilgrim. I took a plane ride with Mr. Gore from Dallas down to New Orleans. It was a plane ride on an American Airlines plane that he chartered to help evacuate Katrina victims. We carried many tons of relief supplies down that he worked side by side with all of us to unload and carry into the terminal building. He worked and acted just like the rest of us. While I don't always agree with his politics, he sure won my favor that day. He was a very hard working, friendly, genuine dude. He chartered many more, but I was lucky enough to go on that one.
I'm almost always skeptical when politicians do things like this. Gore has always seemed like a publicity hound to me.
Hey, Rick -- no disrespect... that's super cool that you had a great experience with him, but there are way too many other stories about Gore to the contrary for me to accept that as the "real" Al Gore (he's the king of "reinventing" himself when it serves him politically). I'll lay off of him, but I pretty much agree with CPC...
I hear he's pretty well liked by Bhuddist Monks!
