Al Gore visit postponed
Former US vice president Al Gore will not be able to make it to Taiwan this September to address the issue of global warming, Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Tien Chiu-chin said yesterday. Tien, who invited Gore to visit Taiwan to promote awareness on global warming, told reporters yesterday that she received an e-mail from the Harry Walker Agency, which has the exclusive right to arrange Gore's speeches, saying that Gore had canceled all his scheduled events in the next six months. The visit to Taiwan had been postponed to next year, she added. Tien said the reason for the cancelation was that Gore was considering a presidential bid.

It is completely and utterly false.

1. He never accepted an event in Taiwan
2. We have loads of events on the schedule in the next six months

1. That's a reasonable inference. It would be weird if Gore and Thompson turned out to be the nominees

[Spangle]

2. A couple of threads on this Yeasterday

Not griping. But just so you can go look them up and see what everyone had to say. Alot of people are excited over this.

7. Oh, thanks for pointing that out.

I saw the dateline of Wed on the article and was wondering why it hadn't made it over here yet...

My bad.

[Spangle]

15. I just saw

that no one was respoinding to it. And I just wanted you to know it might be because everyone was yacking about it yesterday.

I hope Gore runs. So I know if I posted something like this and no one responded, I would be really worried. <wink> So was just sharing the news that others are also hopeful.

4. Whoa! *If* That is True,

I don?t know how to spell bubkus but there?s no credibility to this whatsoever.

11. "Bupkis", "Bupkiss", or (closer to the original Yiddish) "Bupkes"

You're welcome, bubbeleh.

12. For the "next 6 months"? Is he planning on dropping out just BEFORE the Iowa caucus?

[SaveElmer]

14. He's not planning anything...the story is bogus!!!...nt

16. Gore's daughter Karenna says he absolutely won't run

She describes him as a recovering politician who won't go back.
