Back in my former liberal days, I probably could. "Well, yeah, they may have fudged the accounting paperwork a little, but only to prevent the U.S. government from gobbling up their grant money and giving it to the military or something. Which is more important--saving the planet or buying yet another bomber?" It's very important to recognize that many people in this country are infected with Liberal Mind Fog Disorder. Even if shown video of Al Gore talking with his associates about what suckers the American people have been, and even if they were somehow convinced that it really was Al Gore, and he really did say the things on the video, they would find it easier to believe that evil conservatives used mind-control probes to make him say the things on the video, than to believe he actually meant them.
Hint: this is hiding the money from *Russian* taxes.
