Former US vice president Al Gore visited Mexico on August 4, 2010, invited by Governor Enrique Peña Nieto, a controversial politician and likely candidate for the presidency in 2012. Gore gave a private speech to 300 invited guests. The press was barred from the event. Mexico state authorities refused to disclose how much Gore - who receives on average $170,000 US dollars per speech - was paid, and the source of his speaker fee remains a mystery.

Well, I hope they kept the nuns locked away from him. Algore has a habit of lifting funds from impoverished nuns and monks.

I believe the custom in much of Mexico is that the visiting speaker or dignitary is provided with the choice of
escort(s) from a number of selections.

Who on God’s green Earth pays to hear Al Gore speak?

Insomniacs with more money than sense..

The gentlemen of the press only get interested when Republican bigwigs do this sort of thing.

Good question. Mexico doesn’t really give a crap about his signature issue, either.
