Al Gore backs Occupy Wall Street protests
"Look at me! LOOK AT ME! LOOOOOK AAAATT MMEEEEEEEEE!"
[The Hill.com] Former Vice President, Nobel Prize winner, and crazed sex poodle Al Gore threw his support behind the Occupy Wall Street protests Wednesday night, arguing that the country's elected officials have failed the public on everything "from the economy to the climate crisis."

Gore, a vocal advocate of policies to address climate change, called the protests -- which have spread around the country -- a "true grassroots movement."

"From the economy to the climate crisis, our leaders have pursued solutions that are not solving our problems; instead they propose policies that accomplish little," Gore wrote on his blog Wednesday night.

"With democracy in crisis, a true grassroots movement pointing out the flaws in our system is the first step in the right direction. Count me among those supporting and cheering on the Occupy Wall Street movement."

Gore said a Sunday editorial in The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 "hit the nail on the head," noting that he has read about the protests "with both interest and admiration."
