A reminder of Al Gore's heroics two years ago
Perhaps the most telling thing of all is that Gore absolutely refused to have anything to do with the media during the evacuations and after. He has never mentioned it in any of his speeches or interviews in the two years since. Folks, this is truly a courageous and selfless man who is a clear contrast to our current President who jumps at every chance of a photo-op he can get.
