Someone finally has done all the math on the recent sale of Al Gore's Current TV to the Arabic language channel Al-Jazeera for $500 million.

The Republicans in the Senate should demand that Al Gore release the specific equity trading history and records from the time he was worth $2 million until today. What a scammer!
Okay, I'm already bored.
YOU ARE WRONG. I DO NOT BASH ROMNEY. I BASHED GORE.
