Former Vice President Gore on Tuesday said "there's no such thing as ethical oil," slamming the notion that importing oil from U.S. ally Canada was better than doing so from unfriendly nations.

“There’s no such thing as ethical oil. There’s only dirty oil and dirtier oil,” Gore told Canada’s The Globe and Mail during a Tuesday event in Toronto.

Gore was responding to Globe and Mail Editor in Chief John Stackhouse on whether it made a difference that oil sands from the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would come from a democratic nation.

U.S. backers of the Canada-to-Texas pipeline have pointed out that the crude it carries would displace imports from less friendly nations, such as Venezuela....

Still, Gore put some of the blame on Canada.

“I had hoped that Canada would point the way toward a better path, but as yet, it has not,” he said.

I’m sure he was misquoted.

He was saying, “...no such thing as an ethical Al,” not, “...no such thing as ethical oil.”

Oil: “There’s no such thing as an ethical gore.”

Gore needs to go and choke his chakra and leave the rest of the sane World alone.

“There’s no such thing as ethical oil. There’s only dirty oil and dirtier oil,” Gore said and then added, “I need it all for my limo and humongous carbon footprint house!”

How was he able to speak the word “ethical” without being blown to bits by 700 million megatons of irony?!?!

Inigo Montoya said to al gore, “You keep saying that word, I don't think it means what you think it means”

“I’m serial!”

Would someone please drop an oil tanker on this fat, self-important, hypocritical gasbag?

Al Gore's personal "energy footprint" is the size of a visible moon crater, but the rest of us are told to freeze in the dark while involuntarily subsidizing a bunch of corrupt, worthless solar power companies that kick our tax dollars back to... people like Al Gore.

[saganite]

So, Gore gave up all the money his family made on oil? I must’ve missed that.

[eccentric]

Then HE should STOP USING ANY OF IT!!!!

[forgotten man]

Al, why don’t you share some of your stock in Occidental Petroleum with me? That would be ethical. As your buddy 0bama says “it’s the right thing to do.”

“There’s no such thing as ethical Climate Control scammers. There’s only Global Warming Promoters and dirtier Global Warming Promoters”

“I had hoped that Canada was stupid and would swallow my lies hook line and sinker, but unfortunately 40,000 of their scientists said that man-made global warming is a hoax”

“It's millions of degrees beneath the Earth's surface you know...”

How did he get to toronto without committing a sin then?

Gore makes Ponzie look like an honest business man. He should be prosecuted for fraud to the full extent of the law. The damage he personally has caused the worlds economy can not even be closely calculated.

[Red Badger]

There’s no such thing as ‘unethical oil’ either, dude........

[VR-21]

Thank you for mentioning that. I'll never understand why nobody bothers to explore the relationship between the Gore family and Occidental Petroleum, and with it's then owner; Soviet bag man Armand Hammer.

I sure hope he’s one of the ones who applied for a one-way ticket to Mars.....

Then what is it he uses to slick down his hair?
