Just caught this on CNN Al Gore is rounding up 130 critically ill

[SammyWinstonJack]

patients and transporting them out for medical attention. I was half listening and only caught the end of the report. Did anyone hear all of this?

[teach1st]

1. According to CNN...

...Gore wants to take them to Tennessee.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. Wonderful !

[dflprincess]

57. I had an email from St Jude's hospital in Memphis

that they were working on getting pediatric cancer patients transferred to their facilities. I wonder if that's part of what Gore is working on.

[dave29]

2. President Gore

sigh

[LeinesRed]

5. Thank you, President Gore! n/t

[Jeanette in FL]

8. I just had the same thought

Maybe we are seeing the beginning of a military coop, bringing the legal and rightful President of the United States back into power. Oh My God, I cannot believe this thought went thru my head.

[SammyWinstonJack]

From your lips .............

Please get these corrupt bastards out of power now!

[ClayZ]

34. Lighting a candle here! KOOO KOOO

[theplutsnw]

40. Oh boy, I have been thinking this since I saw the blurp about Gore myself!

[lildreamer316]

48. It would not be THAT hard to

overturn that particular SCOTUS decison I don't think. In light of recent events; if we pushed that idea (or the senators and reps got it into their heads) it might happen. Here's to impossibilities.....

[oldtime dfl_er]

4. Al Gore is Batman!

Or better yet, he's MY president!

7. WTG President Gore!

[Cha]

50. Here he comes to save the DAY!

MIGHTY GORE!

[Fleshdancer]

6. I love that man.

I hope he's starting a trend.

[deminks]

9. I heard this, too. Been looking for a link.

President Gore! :thumbsup:

[stlsaxman]

10. We must draft a Gore/Gibson ticket in 2008!

Al Gore and Jabbar Gibson- two real heroes that can bring this nation healing again.

I'm gonna paraphrase both men by their actions: "Fuck this shit- we gotta HELP these people!"

[meganmonkey]

31. Jabbar Gibson - Everytime I see that name

My heart swells :loveya:

[johnaries]

45. Jab-bar! Jab-bar! Jab-bar! A TRUE American Hero!

:patriot:

[Stephanie]

11. Why didn't George Bush do this yesterday? He rode in that big plane alone

While people were dying he flew off and left them there.

[bushisanidiot]

18. Exactly!! he could've shuttled the critically wounded and ill out

on air force one, but he's a heartless idiot!!

those people played for his "party plane".. he uses it for vacations, for photo-ops and for fundraising.. he should put it to work for the american people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[libertypirate]

24. He had a photo operation in front of 3 rescue helicopters and their

crews. Bush is a worthless government comercial on rerun; I am so sick of the America that he projects.

[LisaL]

12. Way to go.

He should be our president right now, not that monkey.

[Jamastiene]

56. Hey! I take offense to that.

Don't insult the monkeys that way. :P :sarcasm:

[rurallib]

13. Heard he tried to do this earlier

like Wednesday or Thursday but was stopped by some federal red tape. Can't remember the details. Was listening to the national feed of WIBR from Baton Rouge. Said Gore hired 2 planes and staff out of his own pocket.
Is anyone compiling a list of all the aid that the Bush admin has rejected or stalled since this thing began. I've heard of Canadian search and rescue team not allowed into the country, NG troops staged and waiting for the call, NorthCom waiting for the call, RedCross not being allowed to distribute food, Chicago's offers being spurned, international offers being rejected.
It's like this administration wants New Orleans and its people to just die, and not darken their sterling record of achievement <sarcasm if you don't recognize it.>

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. UNBELIEVABLE!

[johnaries]

46. Hey, BSN! Here's the thread in response to your other post

in another thread that I was talking about. It's also relevent to this post:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4611518

Lots and lots of good info about the delays...

[SammyWinstonJack]

47. Thank you johnaries!

:-)

[PA Democrat]

22. And the MSM media covered it for all of 8 seconds

Thanks for the additional info rurallib

[theHandpuppet]

23. Also an experienced rescue team from Loudoun, Cty VA turned back by Feds

I'm sure you could find the details via a google search.

[elcondor]

26. I'm so glad he didn't give up!

Another testament to what kind of man he is: he clearly didn't just give up and tuck his tail between his legs. What could have been!

[Mutley]

14. Gore will always be president to me.

Whatever went down in FL in 2000 and Ohio last year, Gore - and Kerry - will always be more presidential in my mind than Trippy McFallsalot will ever hope to come close to.

[WarNoMore]

20. Lol! Trippy McFallsalot. n/t

[Mutley]

25. Bwahahaha!

I got it from another DUer this morning. Too bad I can't remember which one.

[Giant Robot]

60. Thats not really fair

you try being that high and riding a bike at the same time. It's pretty darn hard!

[roguevalley]

37. Write this information into Letters to the editor in every newspaper

you can. Must get out, what our real president would do. Shame the rest of the gazillionaires into doing something good.

[Gabi Hayes]

15. Sam Seder discussed this briefly last night, and said he was STOPPED

from doing so by the powers that be

any more details from today?

did they relent?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

17. Couldn't let Gore get to NEw Orleans before the boy king did

that is the ONLY reason

[phusion]

19. God...

you're absolutely right.

:puke:

[FuzzySlippers]

30. But of course, unlike dim son, Gore was actually useful.

[theplutsnw]

42. EXACTLY!!!!

[Prodemsouth]

21. Yeah his much maligned ideas energy look a little bit better

today too. Dan Quayle ...was right my ass.. It is Al Gore who was right.

[mshasta]

27. AL Gore .....

Is a constant remainder of the good old days…

[Eloriel]

28. No one NOMINATED THIS??? Good grief

Btw, other reports of the feds turning people back:

[Desertrose]

29. I just did....we need more noms for GREATEST for AL!!!

[Gregorian]

32. One man says he's compassionate. One man IS compassionate.

Action speaks louder than words (lies).

[ClayZ]

33. That is my President!

Al Gore.... PUT HIM IN THE WHITEHOUSE NOW!

[ailsagirl]

35. Oh God, mine too... mine too

In fact, he'd probably STILL BE President because he'd have
won a second term.

It breaks my heart to think how different things would be had
the effing neocons not hijacked our country.

:cry:

52. Thanks for being the one to break it here. So good to hear. n/t

[understandinglife]

54. Thank you President Gore.

Not a photo-op, but action to help people.

What I always knew you would do, each and every day. And, had Scalia and the SCOTUS not been traitors to America, the past five years would have been vastly more ethical, moral, creative and productive than they have been.


Peace.

[Ouabache]

61. Maybe the Southern States should vote for a REAL southerner

on a national ticket, once in a while, rather than Connecticutt Carpetbaggers.
