Albert Gore, fresh from his prodigal-son return to Washington, is now getting the boot from D.C. Republicans for his proposed Live Earth concert. Gore is planning to sponsor several concerts all across the world in the spirit of Bob Geldof's Live 8 shows two years earlier, but his plans to hold the U.S. concert in Washington on the Capitol grounds have been stopped by congressional Republicans, who claim the concert is too controversial, political and partisan to be held on there. Too political and partisan for Capitol Hill?? And how could a concert urging people to do something about global warming by considered controversial? Who would think that the need to combat global warming is an issue with any controversy?
Oh right, Chief Blue Meanie James Inhofe, Republican senator from Oklahoma (motto: "Enjoy the wide open spaces between our ears!") who continues to insist that global warming is a hoax.
What a prick.
Gore is restaging the U.S. concert in Philadelphia. Hopefully, the right of free speech as defined in the Bill of Rights will be more respected in the city where the United States was created.
