[Mabus]

30. I like Gore TV. On the vernal equinox no less!

[LSK]

43. yes, most definately!

[Mabus]

20. He appears before the Senate this afternoon

at 1:30 p.m. (Central time) on C-SPAN 3

[Vadem]

25. it will be this afternoon at 2:30 in Sen. Boxer's committee....n/t

[Mabus]

53. Will Inhofe (the Oklahoma idiot) be there?

I gotta cancel this stupid business conference forthwith.

[ms liberty]

12. Need another Rec to get this one to the Greatest Page...

I'll have to leave the threads soon to go to an appointment...please keep'em going! I'll miss the Senate hearing too, dammit...didn't know when I made the appointment that Senate Gore hearing would be at the exact same time...only potential positive is they usually have Faux Noise channel on, and they'll probably show the hearing! Still a major ick factor tho!

[keithjx]

18. Looks like this is going to wrap up soon.

Whitfield (R-Ky)

[Iwasthere]

24. He said, "How should we spend the resourses"

How about how should we NOT spend our limited resources (war costing 1 trillion comes to mind)

[rosesaylavee]

22. Ok. I will say it. Whitfield is WITLESS.

"We don't agree on the urgency.... this is shrill alarmism."

ASSHAT of the first water.

[rosesaylavee]

26. Gore: the evidence shows we may have as little as 10 years.

[keithjx]

27. We all agree that there is global warming

really? About Friggin Time. MORON.

Whitfield claiming a report that lists global warming as the least urgent issue that we should direct our resources to. Don't you realize that if you DON'T address it now, by the time you get the rest of the issues solved and try to address this one it will be WAY TOO LATE? Is THAT shrill enough for you, assclown?
Grrr.
KJ

[Shoelace]

35. grrr indeed. Gore is concluding now - how great is he?

better than great, he's awesome. Our next president (I hope).

Al Gore warned Congress Wednesday of "a crisis that threatens the survival of our civilization and the habitability of the Earth."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Al Gore, a Democratic favorite for the presidency despite pronouncements that he's not running, spoke out on his signature issue Wednesday, warning of a "true planetary emergency" if Congress fails to act on global warming.

In a return he described as emotional, Gore testified before House panels that it is not too late to deal with climate change "and we have everything we need to get started." He urged the Democratic-controlled Congress to adopt an immediate freeze on greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

Gore's return to Congress marked the first time he had been in the Capitol since January 2001 when he was the defeated Democratic nominee still presiding over the Senate in his role as vice president.

The former vice president, who 20 years ago held the first hearings in Congress on global warming, appeared before a joint hearing by two House committees. Later in the day, he was to testify before a Senate committee that included the current Democratic front-runner for the nomination -- Hillary Rodham Clinton....

Trying to contain it in 30 second ads or soundbites??? Damned difficult.

And people like Rep. Joe Barton will continue to be re-elected.......Jeesus.....

"These are serious times and we need serious solutions"---no truer words spoken, by Pres. Matthew Shepherd, "American President" (at least I think he said something like that!)
