I don’t have a link to this but I recall a story from the time after Gore left politics and was casting about looking for something else to do.
He had an interview with some company. They asked him, Mr. Gore, what can you do for us?
He was stunned. Didn’t have an answer. Nobody had ever asked him that before.
When you act stupid, you are gonna get stupid.
I can personally vouch for the fact that these Bay Area VCs think they are the smartest people who ever came down the pike, most of them anyway.
The fact that they trusted a fool like Al Gore just shows how dumb you can get when you let ideology into the value equation.
The leftists push of the AGW scam was the biggest fraud on the american people until THE FOREIGNER came onto the scene. When you have a business model based on fraud it only has one place to go.
listen... warming, cooling, it was 50/50. so i took a shot!!!
Al Gore never won an Academy Award for An Inconvenient Truth. Davis Guggenheim won that Oscar. Gore went on stage to hold the Oscar for a photo op—another case when perception is more important than reality.
If they are seeking connections to Russian billionaires (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, say no more).
Goes back to Daddy Gore, Sr., being the buddy of the Russian-American billionaire Armand Hammer.
Junior has also always had a close relationship with daddy buddy Hammer’s Occidental Petroleum, which bought into the Elk Hills strategic petroleum reserve in 1998 for $3.65 billion.
Incidentally, a similar purchase is what inspired the Teapot Dome scandal during the Harding administration; scandal standards have changed over the years.
