They just announced on Fox news that former VP Gore was robbed somewhere in Italy of the $35,000 he had! They had few details at this time.
scoring some italian "reef" for his little boy???
What a waste of buddhist money!
I hate it when a 'man of the people' gets that much money stolen.
How much is that in yuan?
Well, well -- did Al baby declare all that $$ at customs? Supposedly you can't take over $5000 out of the USA without delcaring it.
I think they do get SS protection. Maybe the agents were the agents who robbed him. If I were protecting that bozo, I'd be thinking about it.
Was he on his way to Switzerland to make a deposit? Idiot!
Good for that robber. Now, maybe Gore can relate to what it feels like to be robbed blind!
They say that Democrats are just Republicans who have not been mugged yet. So maybe........hmmmmm. Algore a "born again" Repub???? :>)
I'm sorry that he was robbed. However, who (in their right mind) carries around $35,000?
Were they overseas hocking the White House silverware?---LOL!Gore wishes he'd had protection
One in the eye for those of us who tease politicians for self-importantly retaining their security guards long after leaving office.Al Gore recently went on holiday to Italy, having decided - for the first time since becoming Vice-President in 1992 - to travel without the services of his heavies.
His reward? "The Gores were robbed while staying in a luxurious villa in Castellina," says my man in Chiantishire. "One of the neighbours went in to sympathise, and Al told him that the thieves had taken about £25,000 worth of valuables. Apparently, he was going on and on about what a fool he'd been for leaving his bodyguards behind."
When Spy contacts Gore's office in America to commiserate, the barricades have gone up again. "I have no information on this," says his spokesman, before replacing the receiver with a crash.
Just hearing now that he dismissed his secret service detail.
I wonder how they got into the lockbox?
My guess is Sandy Berger pulled 35K out of Gore shorts. The same 35K that Gore uses to enhance his "package" since the Rolling Stone cover.
Can we really believe he was robbed in Italy?
He said he was robbed in Florida, too.
He only THINKS that he was robbed.....Just like in the 2000 election.
bump
It's Bush's FAULT!!!!!
I was kind of wondering the same thing....
