Sorry Al-My Mistake
by Tina Grazier
I strongly believe in being truthful and admitting my errors and so I am delighted today to report to you that Al Gores recent wedding feast was indeed green friendly and not, as I reported, another embarrassing green hypocrisy. Read all about it in the Telegraph, “Al Gores fish dinner turns out green:”
The night before the wedding, People magazine reported, the Gores were at a dinner for 75 at the nearby Crustacean restaurant where a six-course tasting menu included Chilean sea bass - also known as Patagonian toothfish...
The reaction was swift: writing in in the Australian Daily Telegraph, Rebecca Keeble of Humane Society International, a conservation pressure group, complained of the danger to the species from "from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities". ** She noted that "more than 50 per cent of toothfish traded is illegally caught, and includes juveniles vital to the ongoing toothfish population". She called on the US government to help crack down on illegal fishing by sanctioning Spain for allowing its nationals to fish illegally for the species in conservation areas. ** And in the meantime, she acidly suggested, "Al Gore could choose something else to eat". Her attack on the former vice-president, and his implied hypocrisy, were rapidly picked up by bloggers around the world.
Yours truly sends her apologies to the entire Gore wedding party.

Great! Al isn't hypocritical about his fish dining choices. That certainly makes up for the hypocrisy about his carbon footprint!
I guess after we cut and run from Iraq, and have an opportunity to thrive after going to re-education camp, all of this will somehow make sense.
I guess it will, or else!
(Sorry about the vague reference to John Kerry’s description of the re-education camps in Viet Nam, after we abandoned it)

It's OK John...I'm up for vague references to John Kerry's description of the re-education camps in Viet Nam...he served in Viet Nam you know...after we ABANDONED it!
I'm also up for not-so-vague references to the other Al Gore hypocricy...carry on!

John Kerry? He was in Viet Nam? I think I heard that somewhere. Wasn't he was a hero of that war?, unfortunately, not for the side he fought on. Isn't he in the North Viet Namese War Museum or something?
Reminds me of my High School Football days, I was the best player on the other team. Luckily, the coach knew not to play me that much.

Reminds me of my High School Football days,...
Just how many points did you score for those other teams John and more importantly...when did you meet with the French to co-ordinate this effort of sabotage?
Also, you don't happen to have a "magic hat' up in the attic somewhere do you?

No, I just wasn't very good. You're right, I still supported my team.
