I cannot remember any person who has received so much in return for so little contribution and with so little intelligence. Period.

[Piranha]

That makes a lot of sense. I’m sure he’s getting hundreds of investment proposals now, and Kleiner, Perkins has the staff to assess their technical viability. He will be a strong deal-flow guy, even though he’s histrionic and (I believe) dead wrong about global warming and man’s role in it.

Einer, Kleiner & Schweiner............

Silicon Valley, once the proud center for American innovation, thus slides into a pit of corruption.

[dead]

Liberals just love showering this jerk with giant firehoses of cash.

I wonder if Kerry or Carter ever feel like kicking his ass over this.

[xtinct]

hmmmm... so that's where professionally dead divinity students go when their gloom and doom global warming reports and movies are called

Biggest Hoax in History
(as per the founder of the Weather Channel)

What should the countdown start at for the utter failure of algore and this company? A year? Less? More?

[freekitty]

Just in there making more and more money so he can support himself in style while he tries to force the peons to live by his other rules.

[sweetiepiezer]

He will be closr to visit his son, Al Gore the third when he is sentenced in February.
Yeah right, like that will happen.

[poobear]

Well, well, well. Their little secret society of board members and stock holders are yet again getting their fingers on another viable money making windfall of profits. I liked how he ‘says’ all profits will go towards yet another committee pledging...

never mind -!

[A. Morgan]

I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again.
Al Gore

I’m just in this for the money...as much money as possible.

the man who brought you The Internet now joins the men who brought you The Internet Bubble.

Grease and slime do mix.

John Doerr was a classmate of mine at HBS and he is a good and decent person - he is clearly letting his emotions control his intellect - OR he is saying let’s ride the wave and collect off this mindless and indefensible fool (Gore) to be a rainmaker. This may be a sad conclusion to an other wise brilliant career.

fyi

[Argus]

It’s always heartwarming to watch the tribunes of the people from the workingman’s party grab every bit of capitalist cash they can after they leave office. And get hailed as great humanitarians by their compliant media whores while doing it.

[Rummyfan]

For a drop-out of both divinity school and law school this snake-oil saleman has done alright for himself and his family. I wouldn’t even begrudge him the money but he insists in trying to tell me how to live my life.

Gore's firm wants cap and trade scam

In written comments to Lloyd's task force, Silicon Valley venture capitalists John Doerr, Ray Lane and Bill Joy of Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers said they ``enthusiastically'' support a cap-and-trade program because it could lead to new markets for technology that helps reduce energy use.

``Let free [sic] markets do what they do best: Create incentives for innovation and reward efficient companies with a new revenue stream,'' the trio wrote in an Oct. 24 letter.
