Great quote, but according to newsbusters.org (always entertaining) Mr. Gore arrived at this Washington D.C speech with “…an unnecessary entourage of three luxury gas-guzzling vehicles — two Lincoln Town Cars and a Surburban SUV — one of which was kept idling outside for twenty minutes, apparently to keep the interior cool for the driver, Mrs. Gore and the Gores’ adult daughter.”
