May 31, 2004 (TAP) -- Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore continued his quiet statesmanship on behalf of his beloved country this Memorial Day weekend by solidifying his connection to the MoveOn.com political site.

Mr. Gore who is without any visible means of support calmly suggested that, "All Americans pray for our troops this Memorial Day and thank God for the magnificent victory which freed the Iraqi people from decades of tyranny and torture."

Mr. Gore, who usually avoids the limelight, reluctantly answered a few questions from journalists. His replies were polite, direct and often little more than a simple, "I support our country and its leaders in this time of war on terrorism."

At one point, however, he tersely rebuked a reporter who had questioned President Bush's handling of the present situation in Iraq.

"Mr. Bush is the President of the United States of America," said Mr. Gore. "And your tone suggests a certain lack of respect for the office, and the man. Why don't you focus on reporting the news, stop asking loaded questions, and keep your bias to yourself. Next question."

Historians will surely mark the behavior of this life time politician and statesman who almost became President and now discretely travels the country with no motive but service, and no agenda but loyalty and patriotism.

One historian, Smellie B. Hinde, has already dubbed Mr. Gore "the Mother Theresa of politics."
