KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 9) - 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 criticized the Bush administration's slow response to Katrina in a speech Friday in San Francisco, but 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."
In the speech, Gore urged that the Bush administration be held accountable for the government's inadequate relief response, particularly "when the corpses of American citizens are floating in toxic floodwaters five days after a hurricane struck."
Bush administration officials have said Katrina's damage could not have been anticipated, but Gore rejected that.
"What happened was not only knowable, it was known in advance, in great and painstaking detail," Gore told the Sierra Club's national convention. "They did tabletop planning exercises. They identified exactly what the scientific evidence showed would take place."
And of course, American react in their idiot fashion, again.
God help us.
Ah, Albert Arnold Algore Jr. rears his insane head! The man who was almost President, but never will be. From that pic, it doesn't look like Gore is getting a handle on his various mental illnesses. Call 1 800 GET THERAPY, Al!
Global Warming is caused by hot air.
He financed???? He flew...surely he jests.
"It was this guy here what sold me this supposedly waterproof watch ... I know, I just tested it ...."
I'll do some research, but I'm betting dime-one didn't come directly from Al's pocket for this.
Get me some iced tea now, dammit!
What happened was not only knowable, it was known in advance, in great and painstaking detail," Gore told the Sierra Club's national convention.
Of course he knew in advance... He invented hurricanes! Only problem is that this one escaped from his lockbox...
So, what did Gore prove ?
That an individual, unencumbered by government restraints, can do more quicker, than the govermenment ever could ?
That's too easy:
"Pull muh finger."
Oooo! Very, very good! :)
Gore. Wasn't she a pop singer in the sixties?
I hate my cynicism but I don't think Al Gore, raised in the Ritz Carlton in Washington, D.C., by a political family, has ever done anything that was not for political gain.
In the speech, Gore urged that the Bush administration be held accountable for the government's inadequate relief response, particularly "when the corpses of American citizens are floating in toxic floodwaters five days after a hurricane struck."
Isn't that the responsibility of the local government? They are being left there for the same reason the rest of this happen - to run off the riffraff and keep them from coming back and then blame the Republicans for it all.
Gee, But he sure made sure, the MSM "found out" about 'em...
Another whackbrain tag team leftie comes out
from under it's rock to try and sink it's fangs
in what it thinks is an Achilles heel for the
Republicans....Big surprise...Big Whoop...
Whatever happened to that so-called alternative news network he was backing?
Last I heard about it, the big thing on that day was some dorky Japanese kid who wanted to kill himself.
More correctly, given the ass that he is.
He looks like Mr Rooney from Ferris Buehlers day off.
