Don gave a wonderful summary of Gore’s presentation last night. But, in looking over my scribbled notes I found lots of great sound bites that I thought I’d share.

“I am Al Gore. I used to be the next President of the United States…I don’t think that’s funny.’ 

“I flew on Air Force 2 for 8 years. Now I have to take off my shoes to get on a plane.”

 “I am now a recovering politician.”

 “What you’re doing [as librarians] is so crucial to the future of our country.”

 His message to the EPA librarians: “God bless you for hanging in there.”

 In answer to whether he would run in 2008: “I’m not convinced that spending time in primaries…and then encountering a Congress that still couldn’t get it…is the best use of my time….This is burning up in me.”

“I am involved in a different kind of campaign right now.”
