Al Gore On 'Disgraceful' Following the revelation that the GOP is selling a picture set of the president, including one taken on 9/11, Al Gore said: "While most pictures are worth a thousand words, a photo that seeks to capitalize on one of the most tragic moments in our nation's history is worth only one--disgraceful." He should know: Disgraceful is selling the Lincoln bedroom to the highest bidder. Disgraceful is turning the White House into the world's most expensive Starbucks. Disgraceful is using your federal office to "dial for dollars." Disgraceful is shaking down Buddhist monks, and then "pretending" you didn't know it was a fundraiser. Disgraceful is receiving campaign contributions from the Chinese army. Disgraceful is "no controlling legal authority."
