Will be interesting to watch how Gore dodges the question on nuclear power.

[Carolinamom]

logic is above Gore's pay scale too.

Why not build greenhouses next to the coal plants? Can you imagine the spider plants they could grow???

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And Illinois is the home to a large number of nuke plants (2nd most in US, I think?)

I'm reading every post on this thread later....bumpppp

Algore is a smug bastard....

thank God that we didn't have to endure him as our President....

Hastert: I was there during Kyoto and I watched the development. I believe in international relationships and contracts but we need to make sure they work. I think there are answers, using the resources we have. I know you disagree with us on coal. There are things we can do with atomic energy and renewable fuelds. The other part of this is we've become so dependent on foreign fuels that we're tired to shieks and dictators and Venesuela and Iran and Iraq and Quatar and Nigeria and Russia and I could go on and on. If someone turns the spikot off, we lose jobs and the ability to produce in this country.

Hasert is losing me .. what is he talking about?

[Matchett-PI]

"GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You got that right. bttt

[Drammach]

One of the by-products of coal gassification is fertilizer..
Spider plants would prosper..

Gore is supposed to go under oath. When you are a pathological liar, you can convince yourself that you never lie. Look at Valerie Plame's performance - is anyone going after her for perjury?

The Repubs are too lame to sock it Al - or anyone for that matter.

Hastert: I see store after store closed, manufacturing closed. As we increase regulation, we force jobs out of this country.

[pinz-n-needlez]

LOL I love to see a strong work ethic...





Guess I better look elsewhere. LOL

[Vision]

I think that line may have been a Freudian slip by Gore. He may have just exposed himself for the moron he is by saying "look, the planet is getting hotter. When a baby gets hotter it's a problem with the baby and it needs help"; which may explain why he is so fixated on this being a Earth centric problem instead of the obvious explanation of this being a Sun centric problem.

[JFC]

I for one LOVE Hastert!

[lysie]

I get sick of the personal comments on both sides. This is business.

[fruitintheroom]

Spikot...lol....they're all dumb as a rock.

[penelopesire]

Good grief...Gore eating up time talking about grandchildren!

[pinz-n-needlez]

They don't respect us much as an audience, do they?

[Msgt USMC]

Funny how this site got blocked. Just goes to show, the libs can dish it out but can't take it. Gore's from another planet,...."Bizarro World"!

[Mo1]

Hastert graps his mic and says "I think I said that" in the middle of Gore's answer
