Chutzpah and Hilarity from the Goreacle
Gore goes on a tear in the usual vein at the DC Live Earth show:
"Some who don't understand what is now at stake tried to stop this event on the Mall," the former Democratic presidential candidate said in a thinly veiled hit on members of President George W. Bush's Republican party.
"But here we are," he said as an image of a bright Earth shined behind him. "And it wasn't the cavalry who came to our rescue, it was the American Indian."
Um...no, it wasn't. It was a bunch of libs at one of the Smithsonian museums...not the same thing, Al.
Oh, and you say you didn't know there was a DC Live Earth show? Well, apparently you're not alone:
A few hundred spectators turned out for the concert, which began at 10:30 am (1430 GMT).
I wonder how much carbon per attendee that works out to? Too darn funny.
