Al Gore airlifts Katrina victims out of New Orleans

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Some information has been made public about an airlift of Katrina evacuees sponsored by former Vice President Al Gore.
Gore, who criticized the Bush administration's slow response to Katrina yesterday, still won't talk about Saturday's mission.

However, Doctor Anderson Spickard, Gore's personal physician who accompanied him on the flights, says Gore told him he wanted to do the flights because -- quote -- "he wanted to seize the opportunity to do what one guy can do."

Al Gore is a far better human being than Bush can ever hope to be.
