Tax Al Gore!

Meh - good for him.  I don't care for the man, but I won't begrudge him his financial success.

I would begrudge him if his financial success came as a result of influence peddling.  I don't know if it did, but it's always a real possibility with retired politicians.

He built a business from nothing and sold it to filthy rich foreigners, sort of the bizarro Mitt Romney (who buys a business for nothing and sells the parts to filthy rich foreigners).

That's a lot of carbon credits.

I thought Gore had inherited a lot of his wealth.

Having a rich dad - well off
Making a blockbuster documentary - rich
Selling TV station to oil sheikhs - priceless

Also, Gore's current stake in Apple is worth $56 million. He probably sold off millions of dollars worth more in the past 10 years serving on Apple's board (attend a few meetings a year).

Al Gorezeera. After all his angst over the use of fossil fuels, being the green monster he claims to be, yet he sells out to Al-Jazeera, which was probably founded and supported off of oil money by the oil rich nation of Qatar. Lol.

He supposedly earned 100million in the deal. AJ paid 500 million for Current TV, which has relatively few viewers and probably isn't worth that price tag, but AJ paid it I assume to get into US TV.

[CountDeMoney]

I like Al Jazeera English;  wish it was more available in the US.

When the only people screaming that it's "Anti-American" is Fox, then I know they must be doing something right.

[Valmy]

Yeah why are we supposed to hate Al Jazeera again?  I presume they did some outrage at some point.  Or is this just a general hatred of all things Arab?

[HVC]

Title has "al". Therefore = al Qaida .

"which was probably founded and supported off of oil money"  I really like this.  You freely admit you don't know, yet make a judgement.  Now that's funny.

Al Jazeera is arabic for "The Island". "Al" in arabic is "the" or the definitive article. So it basically means "The Island" or just "Island".

"Al Qaeda" is "The Base" and apparently has the same meaning in arabic as in english meaning both foundation and base as in base of operations or dr. no's secret lair.
