FROM AMERICABLOG:

Gore is speaking right now, about the environment. He was a surprise guest, though word started leaking out late last night. I'm sure the entire speech will be posted online shortly, but for right now here's the standing ovation he got on entering the hall. It was kind of cute, Pelosi was on stage taking questions from the audience, and she started reading a letter she said she'd received about climate change. In the middle of the letter you heard Al Gore's voice reading the letter. I suspect some people thought it was a recording, until Gore appeared on stage. This video captures that moment. It's good to see Gore again.

And before the video, here's a panoramic photo of the room while Gore is speaking (you can click the photo to see a much larger version):

1. He *is* our 43rd President...

And to Hell with anyone who claims Bush won in 2000 and 2004!

I don't think even Republicans believe that anymore. At least, decent Republicans...

2. Everytime I see Al Gore it brings tears to my eyes

Oh how things would have been better if he was and should have been our President. I love you Al keep pushing for us!!!

5. Me too, me too. If only...

But we still have him here, and he's done such great things. I only wish I could have been there to show my appreciation as well.

7. I'm with you.

It breaks my heart to think what should have been.

3. Don't you know the rethugs are just fuming right about now

They always get there panties in a wad when the elected president gets the recognition he deserves.

4. What I want to know is why aren't all those people in the audience wearing suits and ties??

Must be traitors to Merka.

6. People know a real leader when they see one now.

[Pastiche423]

8. He is the leader of the inhabitants of earth

Instead of licking his wounds after the 2000 election was stolen from him, he rose much higher than being just the occupant of the Oval Office.
