AL GORE AND VP HOWARD DEAN 2008....You saw it first right here.
Al Gore: "When there is No Vision, the People Perish"
by Bob Burnett
Friday morning, when they arrived at the opening plenary session of the first-ever Sierra Club convention held at San Francisco's Moscone Center, several thousand activists got a surprise. Instead of an address by Executive Director, Carl Pope, they heard a rousing speech from former Vice President, Al Gore. (The schedule change arose because Gore was to have given a speech to state insurance commissioners, in New Orleans.)
Many in the audience remembered that Gore once had a reputation as an impassioned defender of the environment and an eloquent spokesman for human rights. Somewhere during the Clinton Presidency that Al Gore went into hibernation; his unsuccessful 2000 Presidential campaign featured robot Al - the mechanical policy wonk best known for putting crowds to sleep, rather than stirring their emotions. Gore joked that he now is a 'recovering' politician; perhaps the role of an outsider empowered him to be unusually candid. Whatever the reason, the 'old' Al Gore showed up on Friday."
