Sen. Kerry decides against 2008 presidential run

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/24/kerry.2008/index.html

 

Is this racist remark? I don't think Biden intended it to be, but it sounded pretty bad.

 

From what I've seen of Biden in the past, I would place that under "sarcasm." Not a great thing to say if you're running for President, but racist? I don't think so. Not intended to be, at any rate. More of a shot at the love fest swirling around Obama from so many Democrats, from Biden's mouth to our ears.



D&D. Shoe Leather doesn't taste good!

 

I'm glad to know Obama is clean. Well, at least so long as we are not talking about cocaine use. Or bimbo eruptions.

 

You've made this accusation before without corroboration

Until you provide sufficient proof we can only assume you are a liar.

 

Much ado about nothing…

If you’re interested Josh has been following this pretty closely today.

Statement out from Biden:

"I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent and I expressed that to Senator Obama.

"Barack Obama's office has just emailed out his response

“I didn’t take Senator Biden’s comments personally, but obviously they were historically inaccurate. African-American presidential candidates like Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton gave a voice to many important issues through their campaigns, and no one would call them inarticulate.”

 

Actually, I would call Carol Moseley Braun very inarticulate. She was waaaaaaay out of her league in the debates.

 

but did they douche?

 

or gay male hookers...

 

I wouldn't be voting for either, but I remember being SURPRISINGLY impressed with both Carol Mosely Braun and Al Sharpton...

 

damn! That's almost a Monica moment huh?

 

I'll answer this poll in November...

 

Rock on!

'Live Earth' Concerts To Tackle Hot Topic
Al Gore's Musical Call to Action

By William Booth

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15 -- The hit-making record producer Pharrell Williams, the wizard behind the beats of everybody from Ludacris to Britney, promises it will be "the biggest party on Earth." How big?

At the news conference Thursday announcing this summer's ambitious "Live Earth" concerts -- designed as an exercise in "mass persuasion" about threats of global warming -- Al Gore described his vision: a 24-hour musical extravaganza across seven continents, featuring as many as 150 of the world's top recording artists, introduced by an army of "celebrities and thought leaders" (think: Cameron Diaz and Richard Branson), playing before a total live audience of a million people, and reaching 2 billion more via television, radio and the Internet on July 7.

The foreign cities hosting the stadium-size concerts will be Shanghai, Sydney, Johannesburg, London, Rio and Kyoto, Japan. In the United States, two cities -- New York and Washington -- are vying to be the chosen venue. Gore revealed that some lucky entertainer (perhaps Lenny Kravitz? Snow Patrol?) will be performing in Antarctica, where temperatures in July at the South Pole Station average minus-56 degrees Fahrenheit.

The former vice president confirmed that while he was schmoozing at Sunday's Grammy Awards, where he was a presenter, the Black Eyed Peas agreed to record a new song to promote the cause and perform at one of the concerts. Also off camera at the Grammys, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers whispered to Gore: "We're in." The approximately two dozen artists confirmed today include Snow Patrol, Kelly Clarkson, Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters, Duran Duran, Enrique Iglesias, Kravitz, Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg.

At the news conference at the California Science Center (it's a museum), against a slightly overproduced backdrop emblazoned with the Live Earth theme, "Save Our Selves," the band Maná bilingually pledged its support and encouraged "everyone, everywhere" to check out Gore's Oscar-nominated documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." Proceeds from the globalized concerts will go to Gore's new environmental foundation, called the Alliance for Climate Protection.

Diaz was also on hand. "As Al said," Diaz said, there are things everyone can do to reduce the magnitude of climate change. Asked what she did, Diaz mentioned driving a hybrid Prius, using recycled products and pursuing "carbon-neutral travel." Saving the planet is doable, she pointed out: "We don't have to build some giant machine that goes up in the air and sucks all the carbon into outer space."

Kevin Wall, the concert producer who has handled the Madonna tours and the Live8 concerts to fight global poverty, promised that the biggest bands on Earth are rearranging their schedules to appear at the Live Earth events. The list of venues, artists and ticket sales will be finalized in March, he said, and in addition to the America-centric stars, each city would also present its own national favorites.

Wall is gunning for saturation coverage. The concerts will be streamed by MSN, the Microsoft Internet portal, and broadcast by NBC. The satellite radio groups Sirius and XM will feature the shows. Similar arrangements are being made in the other six nations. And at the center of it all? "Two billion sets of eyeballs," Wall said, "and we'll hand the mike to Al Gore."

Asked yet again if he's running for president ("no"), the former veep was quizzed about lingering skeptics of global warming. Gore sighed, and then joked that the doubters must get together on Saturday nights with the folks who believe the moon landings were staged in the Arizona desert. Said Gore, "I'm running out of things to say to them."

 

Oh well. Pencil me in for Obama right now.

Gore rules out bid for US White House in 2008

2 hours, 23 minutes ago

Former US vice president Al Gore has ruled out a bid for the White House in the 2008 elections and will carry on his fight against global climate change.

"I have no intention to run for president," Gore said in an interview conducted in Los Angeles and broadcast Thursday by the BBC.

"I can't imagine in any circumstance to run for office again," said the former Democratic vice president under then-president Bill Clinton.

Gore was defeated in the 2000 presidential race by Republican President George W. Bush.

He has since been crisscrossing the globe with his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," a blistering indictment of pollution that warns against ecological catastrophe by climate change.

Gore announced Thursday in Los Angeles a massive 24-hour global concert to save the planet from global warming, patterned after the awareness-raising Live 8 concert about world poverty.

Called Live Earth, shows are planned on July 7 in Shanghai, Sydney, Johannesburg, and London, and yet-undecided sites in Brazil, Japan, the United States, and possibly other countries.

The concert marks the latest foray by the ex-vice president into cultural politics. His "An Inconvenient Truth" has been shown worldwide and is nominated for an Oscar at this year's Academy Awards.

Gore was the US negotiator for the international Kyoto Protocol that set global goals on emission of so-called greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, produced by the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal.

The protocol was agreed in 1997 and took effect in February 2005, but Bush refused to ratify it, citing its high economic cost and the fact that China and India, the world's largest producers of greenhouse gases after the United States were, as developing nations, not bound by it.

Greenhouse gases allow sunlight through Earth's atmosphere, but line glass in a greenhouse, traps heat inside, and is already blamed for shrinking polar ice caps and may cause violent weather changes.
