Source of Gore’s prosperity ignored by federal authorities

Former Vice President Al Gore, now a global carbon-credit trader, and his wife, Tipper, have acquired spiffy new West Coast digs. The Gores spent nearly $9 million for a house in the Montecito, Calif., area. The new place sits on 1.5 acres of property overlooking the Pacific Ocean and is tastefully appointed with a swimming pool, spa and fountains. Built in the Italian style, the Plaza Gore sports five bedrooms, nine bathrooms and six fireplaces. — News item.
“Now, what we’re doing, I want to be clear, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.” — President Barack Obama, April 28.
A good guess is that the president wasn’t talking about the former VP when Obama was discussing Wall Street in Quincy, Ill., but he is opening the door, is he not?
Well, not for the anointed ones.
One wonders, how long Gore’s clown-shoe-sized carbon footprint would last in a world in which individuals were allowed no more than five tons of carbon emissions per year?
That might sound like a lot, but it is, supposedly, one quarter of the average emissions generated (insert giggle here) by a single U.S. citizen.
For 5.5 billion of the world’s 6 billion or so people, Gore’s conspicuous consumption probably looks like what the president says is “enough money.”
And that doesn’t even take into account the former veep’s clodhopping ways on the Earth’s ever-so-delicate environment.
One wonders exactly how much in the way of emissions Leadfoot Gore generates in the course of his travels to and from Tennessee, California and Washington, D.C., not to mention Berlin and Copenhagen and London and, well, you get the idea.
Actually we can guess, based on the way he lit up the sky at his 10,000-square-foot Tennessee mansion back in 2006.
Back then, when he thought no one was watching, Gore was an energy hog at a giant trough, gobbling up an average of 16,000 kilowatt hours a month — more than 10 times the average for his neighbors — for an average monthly electric bill of $1,206. The typical home of his Nashville neighbors used about 1,300 kilowatt hours a month.
Yes, Gore took the house green, green as Kermit the frog, and yes, it was easy being green — after he got caught.
One might think that an earnest, hard-working regulator, say one still smarting after watching Bernie Madoff make off with so much for so long, might take note of the Gore pied-a-terre and thoughtfully stroke his chin.
One might think that a government watchdog on the alert to protect the hapless investor from market manipulations, the likes of which have landed Goldman Sachs in hot congressional water, might raise a skeptical eyebrow on learning that the global-warming hoofraw on which Gore is making such a pile is collapsing in a pile of bad data, incriminating e-mails, stonewalling that would make Nixon look transparent as freshly squeegeeed glass, and blatant misuse of science.
One might think that such a regulator would wonder, in view of all of this, that if this monkey is making such real money, what exactly is the organ grinder selling?
Such regulators exist, of course, and they keep a close eye on Santa Claus (“We’ll catch him red-mittened one day”) and the Easter Bunny (Check the eggs. Rabbit, egg, it don’t add up.)
But no regulator will look twice at Al Gore because he’s the living refutation of that hoary maxim: “I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”
Boss hog?
Ping.
Gore must not have reached that point Obama was talking about, where “you have enough money”
Well according to Al Sharpton :

The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
He made his money selling something that doesn’t exist.
So, explain to me why is Gore walking around loose while poor Bernie Madoff sits behind bars? Does not Albert owe Bernie an apology? Or maybe an occasional post card?
Ocean view? Hasn’t he seen “An Inconvenient Truth”, which would have informed him that all that beach front property is going to be under water?
As they say, if it wasn’t for hypocrisy & double standards, liberal dimTurds would have no standards at all!
LOL! That's classic - the funniest thing I've read in a week or two.

It's quite funny to read some of the communists statements defending their fearless leader.

During the days of communism in Russia and Eastern Europe, the communist elites lived luxurious lives. The top government officials were driven in Zil limousines, which were longer than the cadillac stretch limos that were in use in America in the 1980s. Here is a sample: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C147651/
Communist elites also had country homes, which were known as dachas, in addition to the town houses that they owned in Moscow and other cities.
Ordinary Russians shopped in government-owned stores, which suffered from severe shortages of goods, and rationing was widespread. But communist elites had their own special stores, which were always fully stocked with the latest consumer imports from the West.
The carbon limits that Gore is demanding, are for ordinary people, such as you and I. Those limits do not apply to him and other elites. Like the Soviet elites, he does not believe in lowering himself to the level of the common man.
Six fireplaces? Didn’t San Francisco ban fireplaces?
“Ocean view? Hasn’t he seen “An Inconvenient Truth”, which would have informed him that all that beach front property is going to be under water?”
Do you think there might be a codicil in the agreement where he made a deal, like Moses, and the waters will part, and let algore stay dryshod, well, you know, after all the good work he has done
ARRR Gore: Hands off me ill-gooten booty!
His old man was a racist and corrupt, and Al, jr. has continued with the corruption.
SFO did. Or at least their use.
But Montecito’s nowhere near SFO. It’s adjacent to Santa Barbara, about two hours’ drive (on a good day) north of L.A.
“the Plaza Gore sports five bedrooms, NINE BATHROOMS”
Obviously custom-built for someone who is full of shit.
