Al Gore's Senate Hearing - What bugs me

I watched some of Al Gore's Senate Committee appearance yesterday, and I was struck by one thing: the way some members talked about how Gore has been leading the environmental movement for 30 years - when he first entered Congress. Yet, after 30 years, Mr. Gore has yet to live like an environmentalist. That, however, didn't stop some members from calling Gore a prophet.

Only in Washington, where talking the talk is much more important than walking the walk, could Gore be a prophet. God bless the politicians!

While some argue that the global warming debate wouldn't exist without Gore, I say nonsense. The global warming debate has been gaining heat for many years. Sure Gore helped make this a more prominent issue sooner, but acting as if global warming wouldn't have been issue without Gore is like arguing the Internet wouldn't have been created without Gore.
