Al Gore's testimony before the Senate and the House embodies the gold standard about how a political leader with a cause can rally a movement, get things done, and change the world. Who else could attract so much interest from internet activists, faith based stewards, environmental leaders, hedge fund managers and Wall Street banks placing smart money bets on America's future?

Gore is a man on a mission. It is exciting to to witness the power of an idea, and a leader who views politics as an honorable profession to serve the national and global interest.

Soon the political world will be buzzing about Gore's new book, coming this May, about the assault on reason. It will be a call to action against the politics of radical ideology, the politics of fear, and the politics of greed that has led America to an uwise war and led Washington to an era of scandal that has only begun to unfold.

Gore has a history of being ahead of his time and translating big ideas into effective action. While the internet was created for defense he saw the enormous potential of this new medium throughout our society. When the nuclear arms race was skyrocketing Gore was an authentic expert on national defense, weapons systems and nuclear proliferation.

Gore's mission on climate change is the latest example of his ability to master the technical subtance of complex issues, mobilize support and effect change. Wouldn't it be spectacular to have a president with knowledge, experience and depth rather than a president who starts war before he knows the difference between Sunnnis and Shi'ites?

Could this Brent Budowsky be any more of a syncophantic bootlicker?

BLECH!

Couldn't get beyond that line.

After this article, I wonder if Al had to apply Chapstick to his ass.

It's just a typo, probably in transcription: "on a mission" should read 'in a mansion".

[Quick or Dead]

This whole article, from start to finish was one exercise in ass-kissing. Al Gore has organized his own religion, complete with a dogma (Carbon in the atmosphere is evil, fossil fuels are evil, we must live in harmony with nature), holy scripture (The Population Bomb, An Inconvenient Truth, The Revenge of Gaia), "miracles" (melting glaciers), a holy covenant (Kyoto Protocols), remission of sin (purchasing carbon offsets), and finally, a holy prophet (Al Gore).

I can't wait until he asks for tax-exempt status.

. . . to Pluto, I hope. One-way, of course.

Brent Budowsky was legislative assistant to former U.S. Senator Lloyd Bentsen and legislative director to Representative Bill Alexander, then chief deputy Democratic whip.

Yet, he had kind words about Ronald Reagan....

While all these clowns fiddle, Iran prepares to barbecue a major western city. Never get too caught up in the cares and riches of this world, or you may find yourself on somebody's spit.
