Love Canal lands Gore in hot water By Toby Harnden in Washington Gore 2000 Al Gore, Vice President of the United States - The White House Democratic National Committee Campaign 2000 - Washington Post Naomi Wolf links - Patrick Jennings VICE-PRESIDENT Al Gore's penchant for self-promoting hyperbole has landed him in trouble again, after he told a schoolgirl he was responsible for cleaning up a toxic waterway called Love Canal. Mr Gore was forced to admit later that he was not involved in the 1978 case, when environmentalists and local politicians lobbied the government in Washington to do something about the canal, which was contaminated with chemicals from a waste site. He had told schoolchildren in New Hampshire on Tuesday: "I found a little place in upstate New York; had the first hearing [in Congress] on that issue." Mr Gore, who was then a member of the House of Representatives, did chair a hearing on the contamination of Love Canal, but this was not until two months after President Jimmy Carter had declared the area a federal disaster zone and homes had been evacuated. telegraph.co.uk
