Al Gore Mocked At Apple Meeting: He's 'Become A Laughingstock'

Nobel Laureate Al Gore was mocked Thursday at the Apple shareholders meeting in Cupertino, California.

As the subject of whether or not he should be reelected to the tech giant's board of directors surfaced, one longtime shareholder stood up saying, "[Gore] has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted."

According to CNET, the gentleman then wisely said, "If his advice he gives to Apple is as faulty as his views on the environment then he doesn't need to be re-elected" (h/t Gateway Pundit via Glenn Reynolds):

Gore was seated in the first row, along with his six fellow board members, in Apple's Town Hall auditorium as several stockholders took turns either bashing or praising his high-profile views on climate change.

At the first opportunity for audience participation just several minutes into the proceeding, a longtime and well-known Apple shareholder--some would say gadfly--who introduced himself as Shelton Ehrlich, stood at the microphone and urged against Gore's re-election to the board. Gore "has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted," Ehrlich said, referring to Gore's views on global warming. "If his advice he gives to Apple is as faulty as his views on the environment then he doesn't need to be re-elected."

Of course, if Gore would have lost his reelection bid, I'm sure he would have asked for a recount!

Al Gore on the board of directors at Apple? What in the hell could he POSSIBLY contribute anywhere?

Just another corporate freeloader.

I wish I was a game programmer. I’d write an “Al Gore ManBearPig Hunt” app for the iPhone.

I’m super serial!

I think it's very significant that AlGore won't acknowledge the death of his global warming scam that Americans won't buy.........just as Obama won't acknowledge the death of his HellCare bill that Americans don't want.

The important thing is that they know their con games aren't flying, but they plod ahead ignoring reality and facts. They have both thrown down the grim gauntlet of "you people out there will NOT stop us from accomplishing our agendas."

This abnormal behavior indicates to me we have two sociopaths in control of two very powerful movements. They are continuing to beat dead horses with all their might and main....determined to push on and cram their programs down everyones' throats despite the wishes and will of the citizenry.

These men are not normal. Their followers in important positions such as the combined congress plus their cult followers are just as psychopathic as they are.

This is scary stuff....but too many humans in this country don't know or don't care what and who is negatively impacting their lives and fortunes.

Thanks for the link. I would like to know by what margin Gore was reelected. Despite that ‘victory’ he’s got to live with the fact that he was called a ‘laughingstock’ in a very public venue, and that the incident is flying around the Net like wildfire. I wish he’d take the occasion to reevaluate his position, but that’s unlikely.
