GORE CLAIMS HE RAISED 10,000 CHICKENS?
New questions were being raised this week about Al Gore’s claim that he once raised 10,000 chickens on a farm in Tennessee!
FLASHBACK:
REP. AL GORE (D-TN): "I can certainly sympathize with the loss that these businesspeople have suffered. I have raised chickens myself; 10,000 at one time, 5,000 in each of two houses, and I know what it would be like to have to destroy that many chickens for a business."
[Hearing Report, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce House of Representatives, September 28, 1979]

"No one can find any evidence of Mr. Gore raising that many chickens," one Washington insider said on Monday. "Was he stretching the truth as far back as 1979? When did he do this, when he was journalist? While he was away at school? Exactly when was he a farmer?"
