Buddhist Temple That is well explained here: prospect.org Gore's briefing materials, since made public, listed the temple visit merely as a "luncheon." If the event had been a planned fundraiser, it would have been essential for the briefing notes to say so to keep Gore on cue. The briefing notes for a fundraiser later that day in San Jose, for example, explicitly mentioned fundraising, while the notes for the temple event did not. Nor, the Los Angeles Times later reported, did any of the familiar trappings of a fundraiser appear at the Hsi Lai Temple: the usual campaign materials, the table for soliciting contributions, the candidate's coy thank-yous to his generous audience. It seems to have been a typical campaign gathering, commonly held in churches, synagogues, and other places of worship, and familiar to Republicans and Democrats alike-doubtless designed to curry favor with past and potential future supporters, but not directly to raise cash. In your diatribe against Clinton you fail to mention the pseudo-scandals of Whitewater, Genifer Flowers, FileGate, TravelGate, Vince Foster murder, Castle Grande, Hubble, and Susan McDougle and only consentrate on Clinton's unwillingness to Kiss and Tell. You pseduo-scandal monger! TP
