I bet if they had invited Gore to give a speech on AGW it would have become unseasonably cold and snowy.
Bush is to blame for this one for sure!
Yes, and Algore could have 'saved' The Games by giving such a speech. But then again, of course, Lindsay Vonn may not have won Gold nor Bronze due to postponing the skiing events while she was nursing a sore shin ... she might not have even participated had they not been postponed!
Algore did good in staying away, and USA won two medals because of it :)
(just my silly take on the matter:)
