LIE OF THE WEEK: 05-19-2006
Former Vice President Al Gore on his new movie:
"My whole objective here is to try to move the country past a tipping point, beyond which politicians in both parties compete with each other for genuinely meaningful solutions ... and to change the minds of the American people to the point where people in both parties demand action," he said.
Having narrowly lost the 2000 presidential election to Republican George W. Bush, Gore faces new speculation because of the movie he may make another White House bid.
"I have no plans to run for president again," Gore said. "I have found other ways to serve and I'm enjoying them."
THE TRUTH: Regardless of running for president again or not, this movie is mostly about the self-promotion of Al Gore and only partly about the environmental issues. If this was not true, Al Gore wouldn't spend the entire movie talking about the issue and would instead try to make it more interesting with other people taking the lead. This is absolutely shameless and the arrogance in pretending otherwise is even worse.
