At least we don't have to worry about Gore invading another country in response to this crisis...
I'm still trying to figure out if Bush is going to try to go after Cuba for harboring Katrina

I am going to write Al a letter and thank him for providing me years of comedic entertainment.

No sadder than the guy who accumulates lots of pictures on the Web so he can post them in discussion forum in a lame attempt at wittiness.

You're really not striving to be taken seriously if your posts amount to "no, you are"...

Al Gore should get his own sitcom.

Wow that's really deep. One day I'll have 1100+ posts that nobody takes seriously like YOU! Sweet.
You see your problem here is that you WANT so badly to be taken seriously. Perhaps it's compensation for your daily life. If it works for you go with it. Just know that away from this forum, I blow you away in terms of intelligence, income, and overall success in life. I come here for lighthearted lampooning; you come here to be taken seriously. If only I could take you seriously… /images/graemlins/frown.gif

If Al Gore was president......would he think planting trees in NO would help the situation.....one can only wonder.

Al Gore strikes again.
When he listens to a normal non-politician, he actually does the right thing. Kudos.
Gore Helps Airlift New Orleans Victims (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050909/ap_on_re_us/katrina_gore;_ylt=AqKaltlIKtSZp.tROIAYpRSyFz4D;_yl u=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl)
Al Gore helped airlift some 270 Katrina evacuees on two private charters from New Orleans, acting at the urging of a doctor who saved the life of the former vice president's son.
Gore refused to be interviewed about the mercy missions he financed and flew on Sept. 3 and 4.
However, Dr. Anderson Spickard, who is Gore's personal physician and accompanied him on the flights, said: "Gore told me he wanted to do this because like all of us he wanted to seize the opportunity to do what one guy can do, given the assets that he has."
An account of the flights was posted this week on a Democratic Party Web page. It was written by Greg Simon, president of the Washington-based activist group FasterCures. Simon, who helped put together the mission, also declined an interview.
On Sept. 1, three days after Katrina slamed into the Gulf Coast, Simon learned that Dr. David Kline, a neurosurgeon who operated on Gore's son, Albert, after a life-threatening auto accident in 1989, was trying to get in touch with Gore. Kline was stranded with patients at Charity Hospital in New Orleans.
"The situation was dire and becoming worse by the minute — food and water running out, no power, 4 feet of water surrounding the hospital and ... corpses outside," Simon wrote.
Gore responded immediately, telephoning Kline and agreeing to underwrite the $50,000 each for the two flights, although Larry Flax, founder of California Pizza Kitchens, later pledged to pay for one of them.
"None of the airlines involved required a contract or any written guarantee of payment before sending their planes and volunteer crews," Simon wrote of the American Airlines flights. "One official said if Gore promised to pay, that was good enough for them."
He also recruited two doctors, Spickard and Gore's cousin, retired Col. Dar LaFon, a specialist in internal medicine who once ran the military hospital in Baghdad.
Most critically, Gore worked to cut through government red tape, personally calling Gov. Phil Bredesen to get Tennessee's support and U.S. Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta to secure landing rights in New Orleans.
About 140 people, many of them sick, landed in Knoxville on Sept. 3. The second flight, with 130 evacuees, landed the next day in Chattanooga.

After the last few weeks, I totally understand the thought of someone actually digging in and helping the hurricane relief effort would be downright hilarious to the right wing.

Wow, what a picture.
No make-up, mostly wet, no logo on the t-shirt. And just look at the hairdo. Why can't this guy save a dozen N. Orleans folks and look good at the same time?
Totally un-presidential. No wonder he lost the election.

Yeah. No chance at all he's just taking advantage of the misery of the situation to grandstand and get back in the political limelight. Nah. None at all.

People attribute good motives to people they like and sinister motives to people they don't.
Al Gore's political career is finished, and he knows it. So I think 'political grandstanding' is out of the question. Doesn't mean it's not selfish on his part, but I hardly think it's politically motivated.
But yes, the picture is very funny - someone please get some more pictures of people helping out and the funny faces they might make while doing so.

I think if Gore runs the next election he wins easily. People will have a chance to reflect on badly they screwed up by putting Bush in office in the first place.
