Al Gore to the rescue

Al Gore should get his own sitcom.

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

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… [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Wow! How sad is your life?

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.

No sir, you are much sadder.

Worst comeback in the history of 2+2.

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

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.

My American Federal Govt teacher actually said today that Gore came up with the idea of a Flat Tax, heh I was chuckeling inside.

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.
