| In honor of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 follow-up, I'm watching the original.... |
|
.... and the scene in which the members of the Congressional Black Caucus are desperately pleading to have the objections signed by a Senator, to no avail. Every time I see that scene, I get pissed off beyond belief all over again. :grr:
It's almost a form of masochism when I watch it.

| 1. I think is an awful scene also, but heard that it is only part of the story. |
|
I am willing to listen if I am wrong, as I'd like to not be. What I heard is that Al Gore asked the Senators to not sign, that they were not signing because he asked them to. It hurts to watch it, no matter what though.

| 2. Yeah, that scene was an eye opener for me. God bless the Congressional Af. Am. women, huh? |
|
As I recall, it was only the women?

| 3. Plus Alcye Hastings and Jesse Jackson Jr. ..... |
|
.... but Maxine Waters' "and I don't care if it's not signed by the Senate" line is the standout.
