Gore Only Bores
To The Editor:

"Gore's ''Oscar' Hijinks" (Eye on Politics by John Toscano, February 28) concerning former Vice President Al Gore winning an Oscar for Best Documentary for his film "An Inconvenient Truth" was informative, but could have dug even deeper. Did anyone notice every time Gore traveled to his speaking engagements in "An Inconvenient Truth" he was always seen exiting a limo or taxi? Several thousand of his trendy Hollywood friends who attended the Oscars didn't use mass transit or any alternative fueled vehicles--but arrived in mass using gas guzzling limos! You don't see either Al Gore or his Hollywood fan club setting any examples promoting a cleaner environment by individual actions. Is riding mass transit like millions of other urban residents do daily beneath their dignity? How about riding an alternative fueled vehicle? Why no criticism for fellow Senator Ted Kennedy who opposes wind power? Windmills would ruin his view of Martha's Vineyard. Too bad we can't harness the power of Gore's hot air after every speech. The real reason Gore lost in 2000 was a majority of Americans were so disgusted by the choice of either Bush or Al Bore that they stayed home rather than voting. In reality, "None of the Above" received the most votes and was the true winner! Al Gore's political career ended years ago. It's time for him to move on and let a new generation give it a try.
