The fact that Gore did not want his rescue efforts post-Katrina publicized stands in stark contrast to B*'s "photo-ops". Just as how quickly he was able to respond stands in stark contrast to B*'s lack of response.
We need to show people more of the "Real Al Gore".

In case you missed this AP story (via CNN) from last Saturday, " Al Gore helped airlift some 270 Katrina evacuees on two private charters from New Orleans, acting at the urging of a doctor who saved the life of the former vice president's son.
http://www.detnews.com/2005/nation/0509/09... Gore responded immediately, telephoning Kline and agreeing to underwrite the $50,000 each for the two flights, although Larry Flax, founder of California Pizza Kitchens, later pledged to pay for one of them.
"None of the airlines involved required a contract or any written guarantee of payment before sending their planes and volunteer crews," Simon wrote of the American Airlines flights. "One official said if Gore promised to pay, that was good enough for them."
He also recruited two doctors, Spickard and Gore's cousin, retired Col. Dar LaFon, a specialist in internal medicine who once ran the military hospital in Baghdad.
Most critically, Gore worked to cut through government red tape, personally calling Gov. Phil Bredesen to get Tennessee's support and U.S. Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta to secure landing rights in New Orleans.
About 140 people, many of them sick, landed in Knoxville on Sept. 3. The second flight, with 130 evacuees, landed the next day in Chattanooga.
Al is a true hero.
One of the few pictures taken - notice Al actually broke a sweat. Again, a stark contrast to B*.
