i thought this was pretty kind of him:

From a diary on DailyKos:



About 140 people - mostly elderly and infirm - arrived Saturday at McGhee Tyson Airport on a chartered mercy flight from hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, welcomed to East Tennessee by a bright sun and a host of medical professionals straining at the reins to help their fellow human beings without regard to whether they were on the clock.


 The displaced hurricane victims came to Tennessee on a hastily arranged flight, accompanied by doctors and carrying whatever they had in boxes, bags or, in one case, an old suitcase tied up with rope.


 Former Vice President Al Gore arranged the flight and was on board, but he declined to take credit for the airlift, fearing it would be "politicized."

   

The patients and evacuees arrived aboard an American Airlines MD-80 about 3:15 p.m. The unloading process took almost two hours, as some walked hesitantly down a staircase beneath the rear of the aircraft. Others were rolled down a ramp from the front of the plane to waiting wheelchairs. Personnel from Rural/Metro and the Tennessee Air National Guard volunteered their services, as did others, to get the patients and evacuees loaded onto buses or ambulances for the ride to area hospitals to be assessed medically before going to a Red Cross shelter


Gore chose not to speak to the assembled media, but he was seen in a black T-shirt and jeans moving rapidly from one side of the plane to the other assisting with the off-loading operation.

there was a picture to go with it, but i don't feel like uploading it to my server

That's what you would expect from "bleeding heart liberals", right?  Ideally, you could say the same for "compassionate conservatives", but Dumbya has proven that term to be just a myth.

KC, again, you don't have a fucking clue as to what you are talking about.  Instead of hogpiling and turning everything against Bush, why don't you go out and do something positive with your efforts.  You have no idea how either Gore or Kerry's administrations would have responded.

No, as always, it is you, not me, who doesn't have a fucking clue.  We do have proof as to how your chimp responds under crisis and pressure.  Dumbya has frozen like a deer in the headlights TWICE during 2 of the worst tragedies on our soil in American history.  Got anything to say about that (besides your normal incoherent drivel)?

There is one big difference between the Dems and Reps.  Democrats and the left actually believe in helping people.  You fuckheads on the right believe in doing what is best for your own interests.  Who just got a contract for the initial hurricane cleanup?  Shrub and Lon Cheney's own personal pocket liners:  Halliburton.

"Halliburton; For When You're Hurtin' "

I stand by my comments on how either Gore or Kerry would've handled the initial hurricane aftermath.  Neither of them would have been on vacation, that's for sure.  (Tell me, has Dumbya ever NOT been on vacation?)  And if you've read the bulk of threads on this topic, you would clearly see that it's a MANDATE that the Shrub administration fucked up big time.  (Oh, I forgot.  You're still on life support, so you can't see that.)

Please, just do what the post header says.
