And he didn't know he was going to a Buddhist temple to fund-raise either. Ah, the innocence of politicians.

I'm sure they thought that they were ordering the egg-drop soup. The picture was a throw-in.

To prove his point, he gave the Sun a contract regarding the appearance that lists the client as “DnmStrategies For Service to BusinessWeek.”

A misprint in the contract. That would be "DimStrategies". English is no longer the official language in Hong Kong.

“If this is true, it’s a pretty severe lapse in judgment,” a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, Dan Ronayne, said when contacted by The New York Sun. “It’s mildly shocking that he’d put himself in a position for this kind of potential embarrassment.”

What a great line that last one! It's only mildly shocking because we're so used to Gore embarrassing himself! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA......

Ah, the innocence of politicians.

...The Gore camp insists the former vice president and 2000 presidential candidate has done nothing wrong, and disputes the accuracy of the report...

Certainly was bad judgement for him to call the VRWC "fifth columnists" when he took money from a foreign power aimed at bringing this country down.

Conference participants had the opportunity to have their photos taken with Mr. Gore in exchange for cash, the South China Morning Post reported.

Everytime I think they hit a new low.....

I wonder whether Senator John Kerry's office and Terry McAwful are reponsible for this story.

Conference participants had the opportunity to have their photos taken with Mr. Gore in exchange for cash, the South China Morning Post reported.

Did they have their pictures taken with Gore or with a cardboard cut-out of Gore?
And how could anybody tell the difference?

No one should doubt that the Democrat Party has its own DNC Politburo, preparing.

Clinton did the same thing not too long ago either.

This illegal fund raising and Clinton/Gore-Red China axis isn't over and should be watched.

“We are grateful that Vice President Gore took the time to speak to the Asia Society Hong Kong." Mr. Holbrooke said in a statement "He knows so much more about communism than the Chinese, it was very informative."

I find absolutely nothing wrong with posing for photos for cash. Gore is a private citizen and not a govt. official. A former pres. or vp can do anything he wants in my book. The Japanese paid Reagan a million dollars for a short speech and appearance AFTER he left office. During the 2002 campaign, Bush raised money for other candidates with photo ops (unlike Clinton, outside the white house) around the country if you coughed up 10 to 20 thousand dollars. A photo with Cheaney cost only 2k, a photo with Doro (W's sister) cost only 500 dollars. An acquaintance of mine coughed up 50 grand to get his and his wife's picture taken with Clinton in the White House and also got a small piece of regulatory "undersight" or "overlooking" that was probably worth about half a million dollars. That was wrong, but a former vp should be allowed to do anything legal and this is 100% legal.

“To suggest that Vice President Gore’s activities in Hong Kong was somehow improper because he visited China during his trip — as has every president since Richard Nixon — is ridiculous and smacks of old school McCarthyism.”

Now he's an ex-president. The fantasies keep getting wilder in Algoreland. And I suppose the "old school" McCarthyism is to distinguish it from the new communist PC variety.

"Asia Society source as saying that Mr. Chan, the former Enron director, hosted the Asia Society meeting."

ENRON...figures. You know, I think I have it figured out: left-wing Dems live in TV Rerun Land!
