Pretty much Lucy.  I remember reading that first article about it online.  I did not finish my breakfast cereal.  It was nasty and funny at the same time.  We still had Max the dog at the time.  It was days before I stopped seeing a little Gore head on his body. 

ETA:

It was an almost "South Parkish" visual.

It's pretty well established that if a full recount were done Gore would have won the election.

So, among the sources you like, then?

Al Gore has spent the years since his failure to achieve the Presidency (and thank God for that) telling all of us about the evils of global warming, yet when he's offered the opportunity to pocket $100 million from a state that only exists because of oil, into the family lockbox it goes.

He's a whore. Current has value because of distribution, not content or quality, and it only achieved that distribution because Al sold himself, and now he's picking up the cash off Qatar's nightstand.

Current TV draws an audience of 42,000 for their primetime programming, Crazy. By what measure is that not a failure? I'd also suggest you Google Qatar a little, and then see if you can puzzle out where the funding for the purchase might have come from.

I might also suggest you check the New York Times reports on who won in 2000, and stop using the exhausted talking point that Gore was robbed. It's a stupid lie, and places those who spout it in the same credibiity classification as birthers.

Romney does it, he is a capitalist.
Gore does it, he is a whore.
Interesting....

Not simply what Gore did, but what he did in light of what him and his ilk rail about. It isn't okay to be a Capitalist when you're against Capitalism. There's a word for that...

I've watched Current TV and I thought the documentary content of the stuff I watched was quite good. The problem is the rerunning of their programs is excessive. I didn't know Algore owned it.

And your right about one thing, Gore is a whore.

Sorry but it`s only the rightwing who`ve made a clean environment into anti-capitalism.
Can anyone show us where Mr. Gore ever made an anti-capitalist statement(with links) or anything like it?
Lot`s of envy and jealousy here......
For the life of me I don`t get why cons are so angry at him....other than for being an affective challenger to their nit-wit politics/arguments.
One of the most accurate measures of a democrat`s credibility, is how pissed off and angry they make the rightists and their media.
Financial success aside....Mr. Gore seems to be kicking ass on angry old white men quite successfully.

Why do you say that? Is it because he's such a successful Capitalist?

I thought wealthy Capitalists were "Job Creators" and should be encouraged.
Don't even tax them.

Are you saying that only wealthy Republican Capitalists deserve that obesiance and the wealthy Democrat Capitalists are "Whores"?

I would not criticize the capitalist part but the hypocrisy of selling out to a network funded by oil producers. Not only that but the selling of carbon offsets is a scam worthy of Bernie Madoff status.

What exactly is the hypocrisy, never ever has he said he wasn't a capitalist. And I am not hearing that selling his losing network to someone else is a stance against climate change.

Waltz me thru the prob here.

Gore’s mansion, [20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.

Al Gore's Carbon Footprint Is Big.
Posted by: Bruce Nussbaum on February 27, 2007

I’ve wanted to write a piece on the carbon footprints of famous people who are for sustainability and against global warming because I’ve noticed that many of them live in many very big houses, drive many very big cars and fly in private jets. The World Economic Forum in Davos was “carbon neutral,” despite all these folks flying it to attend, because in large part, people donated money to third world countries to plant trees or build hydoelectric dams for electricity. The upcoming TED conference is supposed to be carbon neutral as well and I am curious to see how they do it. Will people be flying into the TED conference in Monterey, CA in their private jets and paying peasants to plant more trees in the Amazon to stay carbon neutral? And does it matter as long as the planet keeps its cool?

But before I could write my story, Al Gore got an Oscor for An Inconvenient Truth and someone did some analysis of his carbon footprint and found it was pretty big. I don’t know much about the source.

LOL Sustainable capitalism, isn't really capitalist!!!!! HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa I suspect you don't mean it as you appear to be a capitalist but isn't it a bit stupid to be a capitalist when you know it isn't sustainable?

Not really. The Republican capitalist model seems to be based more on asset stripping and credit bubbles, neither of which are very sustainable in the long term.
