Re: "21 Al Gore Lies." Good post. But why stop at 21?
For more on Gore's exclusive private education, and how he squandered it like he'll squander our money and future, see:
1. Gore's high school alma mater, St. Albans school web site, where some of Washington's elite send their children, at: www.sta.cathedral.org/. Tuition this year is $17,421 for day students, and $24,643 for boarding students; and
2. Gore's (and Bush's) SAT scores and Gore's partial college grades at Harvard, at: www.insidepolitics.org/heard/heard32300.html. (Source: Washington Post 3/19/00). "...neither presidential candidate...were shining students during their college days...neither did that well in their college courses. Both earned a mix of B and C grades."
To be fair, Gore got some high grades: an "A-" in "Social Relations" -- sounds pretty tough, eh? More like a Kindergarten class <g> -- and an "A" in "Visual and Environmental Studies" (huh?). He got a "D" in an unspecified "natural sciences course." Oh, who needs to know anything about SCIENCE, anyway, especially if you already know everything about global warming and the environment.
Shouldn't he have done better, given his privileged college preparatory years? I wonder how well he did in law school before he dropped out? How did he get into law school with his grades? The venerable Washington Post didn't dig into those, or maybe chose not to publish it. Their kids go to St. Albans, too, I've heard.
Just out of curiosity, I also wonder how his parents, who he's portrayed as dirt poor, afforded in those days to send him to St. Albans and Harvard? His mother's tips from waiting tables? Oh, maybe they weren't as poor as he likes to claim. Oh, that's right, he's got those millions of dollars in Occidental Petroleum stock in a trust fund. I almost forgot.
Al Gore is as phony as a three dollar bill. But you know what, some people don't seem to care. Utterly amazing. |
