I dislike NewsMax- it is unabashedly biased. But didn't you wonder about this last night when Gore said the woman had a Winnebago and a poodle? It didn't take NewsMax to make me question the honesty or applicability of this tearjerk appeal.
We can always find sob stories-- I was a Social Worker for years, and heard some of the saddest, only to find that so often the saddest were that way because of circumstances within their own control- either in their past or in their present. It doesn't make them less sad, sure, but they shouldn't be used as fodder for political gain. This is pure emotional manipulation- something Gore is increasingly shameless in employing.

I cracked up when, during the education question, he had to try to one-up Bush's statement about using public education for his girls, (which the Bushes did with NO fanfare here in Texas) by quickly claiming his kids went to both public and private. We were waiting for him to throw in parochial, home-schooling, and alternative, just to make sure he sucked up to everyone. :)
