Gore's Message Loses Bite (Al Gore serves up endangered fish at daughter's party)

ONLY one week after Live Earth, Al Gore's green credentials slipped while hosting his daughter's wedding in Beverly Hills.

Gore and his guests at the weekend ceremony dined on Chilean sea bass - arguably one of the world's most threatened fish species.

Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks.

The species is currently managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Living Marine Resources, the body which introduced a catch and trade documentation scheme as an attempt to tackle illegal poaching of this species.

This is simply delicious

[jim_trent]

Did they have a side dish of spotted owl?

[bicyclerepair]

Restaurant reports it did not serve endangered fish. See Drudge.

owlbore is an asshole

Pointing out the Goracles hypocrisy is like shooting fish in a barrel these days.

The man is so transparent only the zealots will defend the goon.

I agree....this is hilarious.

Will Gore and his daughter be jailed for violating
the Endangered Species Act? (I can dream, can’t I?)

[saganite]

The restaurant said the fish came from a sanctioned sea bass harvesting group so it looks like they’ve taken the sting out of the accusation.

...trade documentation scheme as an attempt to tackle illegal poaching of this species.

I don't like mine poached, I prefer sauteed in olive oil and garlic......

The Telegraph has already posted an update (with clarification from the restaurant):

Is that a pun?

Everybody, pile into your limos and let’s go panda hunting.

[Red Badger]

I was casting about for one.........

I'm sure the once Al's little girl made up her mind she was going to have Chilean Sea Bass at her reception, all Al could do was comply.

What, no hook-lipped rhinos or African elephants on this trip?

[saganite]

Well you hooked me!

[AU72]

His excuse was “The fish had a fever”.

[rljv]

Hypocrisy seems to go right over the heads of leftsts and the MSM, but Al Ogre is still a douche.

Is this the same daughter who picked up her Prius-driving brother from jail in a real motor vehicle? If so, perhaps we've found the white sheep of the family!

[Doctor Raoul]

Oh it's still an endangered species, but ones served to Gore and family had the proper "papers" as being from a sustainable source.

Kind of like a carbon credit that swims.

Wonder if Gore has a piece of the service contract that generates this paper trail too?

It's all a plot for Millionaire Marxists like Gore and Company to rape the proletariat.

[darkwing104]

It's called CYOA spin,

If the Restaurant did admit serving it, they would be in a world of trouble.

LOL.
