For those who don't know NYC politics, John Liu is currently trying to stay out of prison, facing numerous corruption charges, while still running for mayor.

So he puts Al Gore in charge of a half billion in city funds, and Al Gore pockets the $35 million fee.

Never hurts to have influential friends.

I think some of the charges are fundraising irregularities.

I wonder if this is a payoff to Gore to help him get some extra cash from his favorite Buddhist temples.
