Something is missing.  I looked around and then it hit me.  With all the talk about the oil leak in the Gulf something didn’t seem right.  Something felt out of balance, wrong with “this picture.”

THEN it dawned on me.  Two very important elements have been missing from the landscape with regards to this disaster.  George Clooney and Al Gore are AWOL.

George was one of the first to whine about how bad things were in New Orleans when people decided not to leave, got caught by the rising waters….and then blamed the President for failing to “save those poor people.”  Now, with the greatest manmade disaster in history continuing on the gulf coast, he can’t be found. No telethon, no pledges of money, no black t-shirt on TV telling us how cold and ineffective or current President is. Nope, George is holed somewhere else, doing other things. Tough S**t if you are in trouble now.  He can’t be seen as being critical of HIS President.

Then we have the strange case of Albert Gore, Jr. 
You know the man that won an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Nobel for defending the environment. The standard bearer for all things “green.” 

Let’s face it, Lumpy has made a fortune bitching about what will happen in 50 years, but has no answers for what’s been happening for the past 50 DAYS. 

Big Al, that droning nutsack, apparently has decided to take the money and run.  A classic example of someone who was well equipped to point fingers, but not able to pull the trigger with a decent idea. 

If you have friends or family dealing with the impact of the BP oil spill, ask them if they have seen George or Al and how much help the Feds have been so far.
