Al Gore was fairly smug about the Live Earth concert on the Washington Mall. He said:
“Global warming naysayers in the political world have not been able to have their way, because this will – despite their best efforts – be held on the Mall,”
Turns out he spun the fact that he added two artists to a festival that was already taking place on the Mall and called it a coup.
“The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian had already scheduled a day of events — including the Indian Summer Showcase 2007, which appeared to be absorbed into ‘Mother Earth – In the Spirit of the Live Earth Concerts.’ There were already going to be performances, drum circles and spiritual/environmental speeches by tribal leaders. Al Gore and the Smithsonian’s organizers just figured a way to add Gore’s overtly political address and the Garth Brooks/Trisha Yearwood performance to an existing event.”
American Thinker has the details.
