Al Gore - 270, George Bush - uh, um, er, 0?

Giving Commander Codpiece the (extreme) benefit of the doubt, or not allowing negative numbers, Gore clearly whipped him this go-round. Of course we're waiting for the Brooks Brothers rioters to appear to claim that his vote save total wasn't as high, and prevent a recount.

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Al Gore helped airlift some 270 Katrina evacuees on two private charters from New Orleans, acting at the urging of a doctor who saved the life of the former vice president's son.

He also recruited two doctors, Spickard and Gore's cousin, retired Col. Dar LaFon, a specialist in internal medicine who once ran the military hospital in Baghdad.

Most critically, Gore worked to cut through government red tape, personally calling Gov. Phil Bredesen to get Tennessee's support and U.S. Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta to secure landing rights in New Orleans.

About 140 people, many of them sick, landed in Knoxville on September 3. The second flight, with 130 evacuees, landed the next day in Chattanooga.

While leaders lead, George Bush flounders (and people die).
