He’s Got Time For The Jibber-Jabber

Al Gore is busy making sure a landmark oiece of climate change legislation is passed:

Former Vice President Al Gore canceled plans to fly to Washington for a celebratory news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday, and instead was working the phones from Tennessee to help push a landmark climate bill to passage.

The vote is close, and Democratic leaders are worried.

The speaker, President Barack Obama and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel were all telephoning undecided or wavering House members in both parties.

As part of the rescue mission, Obama added a last-minute Rose Garden event in which he was to make “brief remarks on the importance of passing a historic energy bill that will create new jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”
