Al Gore is a Man You Can Tell Your Kids About
Richard Cohen writes a syndicated column for the Washington Post, and he wrote today about a true American hero: Al Gore. Like a billion others, I watched Al up there on the Oscar stage, and I agree with Cohen–Gore’s a winner, regardless of what happened back in 2000.
“Now it is George W. Bush that the nation does not trust or believe–and this has and will cost us plenty. What if Bush is right about Iran? What if the Iranians are really helping to kill Americans in Iraq? Whatever you think of the Iraq war, is it permissible for anyone to kill Americans–out of the question! And yet it may be happening and may continue because the president is widely disbelieved. Gore could not have gotten us into this.
“The woman I love tells me that life is a series of little lives, and no one has proved the truth of this better than Gore. With an Oscar in his fist and triumph on his face, Al Gore is a man you tell your kid about. That, maybe, is even better than being president.”

Al Gore is the biggest hypocrite on the planet. He tells everyone that the environment is in danger and how bad we are destroying it but then flies on private jets, drives SUV’s, and lives in a huge home that burns a lot more energy than the average home. Shame on Al Gore. He should lead by example. That is the kind of person that you tell your kids about, not some has been politician that doesn’t practice what he preaches.
