Gore the Greatist Gift

The American Spectator's The Prowler, on Penguin Politics (scroll down):

Former Vice President Al Gore has been spending the bulk of his time campaigning hard with voting members of the Academy for Motion Picture Arts, committing more than $500,000 of his own money to the PR campaign set up to win him an Oscar.

When Gore and his aides were approached about providing similar dollar amounts in support of ending the slaughter in Darfur, he declined, say fundraisers for the Darfur initiative.

Another anecdote that shores up the Who Really Cares research. Al Gore---compassion in action!

Remember when Gore ran for president his tax returns showed he only gave something like $300 to charity? I guess he considers himself the greatest gift of all.
