I didn't realize I was in a Buddhist temple.
Al Gore
When asked about his illegal fundraising activities that took place in a Buddhist temple. He could have added 'I know a lot of places where bald men run around in orange robes with incense burning that aren't Buddhist temples.' A Senate committee investigating campaign finance voted to issue 43 new subpoenas, including 23 connected to a Democratic fund-raising event at the Hsi Lai Buddhist temple in California that was attended by Vice President Al Gore. Participants paid $2,500 each to attend, in apparent violation of the temple's tax-free status as a non-political religious group (5/23/1997)
