Who Da Man?

This just in from CNN:
KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- 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. Gore criticized the Bush administration's slow response to Katrina in a speech Friday in San Francisco, but refused to be interviewed about the mercy missions he financed and flew on September 3 and 4.

He paid for the flights himself ($50,000 each)! He used his position as former VP to slash through red tape and get the right to land planes in New Orleans! He flew down there and helped evacuate a hospital full of patients himself! Gee, not only did we elect him in 2000 (Supreme Court ruling notwithstanding), but he--unlike Bush--is actually doing the work of a president in a time of crisis. And what's more, he did all this a week ago and didn't trumpet it to the media; they only just picked the story up. Quite the contrast to Bush's infamous "I'm hugging a black person--quick, take a picture!" approach. Bush (who da weasel?) is not even worthy of kissing Gore's feet.
