Kudos is due to Sen. McConnell for refusing to allow the grounds of the US Congress to be used for one of Al Gore’s pop concerts on July 7. As Amy Ridenour says,

The left uses the draw of a “free concert” to draw people to political rallies they otherwise would never attend. This is a political event.

Indeed, and, as Amy goes on, the fact that it would be providing a bully pulpit to a potential Presidential candidate above all others should also be enough for a veto. Although the sight of all the other possible candidates in the Senate scrambling to get in front of the cameras would be amusing, if unedifying.
