IssuesMSNBC spliced Gore speech to remove context for "dogs and cats" comment, Morning Joe hosts then mocked
On the June 17 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, MSNBC aired excerpts from
former Vice President Al Gore's June 16 endorsement speech of Sen. Barack
Obama, but removed the context for Gore's comment, "After the last
eight years, even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter."
Following the clip of Gore's "dogs and cats" statement, host
Joe Scarborough stated, "[H]e lost me with the dogs and cat thing,"
later adding, "I think that was a shark-jump
too far." But MSNBC edited out the part of Gore's comments that
provided the context for his "dogs and cats" remark. Specifically,
Gore said: "If you bought poisoned, lead-filled toys from China or
adulterated medicine made in China, if you bought tainted
pet food made in China, you know that elections
matter," before adding, "After the last eight years, even our dogs
and cats have learned that elections matter."
From Gore's June 16 endorsement of Obama as aired live
on that day's edition
of CNN's Larry King Live:
GORE: In looking back over the last
eight years, I can tell you that we have already learned one important fact
since the year 2000. Take it from me -- elections matter. If you think the next
appointments to our Supreme Court are important, you know that elections
matter. If you live in the city of New
Orleans, you know that elections matter.
If you, or a member of your family, are serving in the active military, the
National Guard or Reserves, you know that elections
matter. If you're a wounded veteran, you know that elections matter. If you've lost your job, if
you're struggling with your mortgage, you know that elections matter. If you
care about a clean environment, if you want a government that protects you
instead of special interests, you know that elections matter.
If you care about food safety, if
you like a T on your BLT, you know that elections matter. If you bought
poisoned, lead-filled toys from China
or adulterated medicine made in China,
if you bought tainted pet food made in China, you know that elections
matter. After the last eight years, even our dogs and cats have learned that
elections matter.
From the June 17 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe:
SCARBOROUGH: But you
know, last hour, Mika [Brzezinski, co-host] asked me how the world would have
been different if Al Gore had been elected president. Al Gore talked about that
last night in his endorsement of Barack Obama. Let's listen.
GORE [video clip]: In looking back
over the last eight years, I can tell you that we have already learned one
important fact since the year 2000. Take it from me -- elections matter. If you
think the next appointments to our Supreme Court are important, you know that
elections matter. If you live in the city of New Orleans, you know that elections matter.
[...]
GORE [video clip]: If
you've lost your job, if you're struggling with your mortgage, you
know that elections matter.
[...]
GORE [video clip]: After the
last eight years, even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter.
WILLIE GEIST (co-host): Hmm. Yeah.
BRZEZINSKI: Wow.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, he
lost me with the dogs and cat thing.
I think that was --
BRZEZINSKI: But it was good.
SCARBOROUGH: -- a shark-jump too far.
