Prediction

Although Schwarzenegger took a very long time going to congratulate everyone through the JPL team area during the critical moments as Opportunity was bouncing, some pundit or 700 tomorrow will snark about how Al Gore (who took up far less room and moved quickly out of the way) tried to steal NASA's big moment at JPL tonight. And unlike Schwarzenegger, who seemed to wait until the news was good to appear, Gore was there beforehand, thinking it was an interesting moment without having to wait until he was sure he got his photo op for a "winner".

NASA also knows what side of their bread (the crumbs) is buttered. They mentioned Schwarzenegger's appearance (and some dip-shit councilman) long before they noted Gore. This team needs to thank the Bush Administration for scrapping them; Bush only wants people in space now.

I nominate his twins.
