November 20, 2001 -- The answer to the riddle of why Al Gore joined an obscure California fund is that Wall Street wouldn't hire him.

The man who would be president had sought in earnest all year to land a top spot with one of the major city firms because he wanted to be in the Big Apple, sources said.

One source said Gore couldn't provide a good answer to their question: "What can you do for us?"

I guess Americans came to the same conclusion!

... sources on Wall Street said Gore came knocking at numerous firms here, asking for a base salary of between $2 million and $3 million.

Dang! The jerk stole my marketing plan! Now I have to think of something else. Sigh. Ohh - I got it - Show up with no credentials and ask for 4 to 6 million! Thanks Al.
