Al Gore Says Now Restaurateur in Tennessee

LAGOS, Nigeria (Reuters) - Former Vice President Al Gore told a Nigerian audience on Thursday that he now runs a family restaurant in Tennessee.

Gore narrowly lost the 2000 U.S. presidential election to Republican George W. Bush.

``This has been a time of transition for me and it hasn't been easy,'' Gore told an audience at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs.

``For example, there are usually a lot of cars on the road. Now it takes a lot longer to get around, and given that I haven't driven for eight years, I'm not sure it's wise (to drive),'' said Gore, who was driven in a limousine while he was vice president.

He also told the capacity audience that he had started the new family enterprise in his home state.

``We have started a family restaurant in Tennessee and we are running it ourselves. It is a low-cost restaurant,'' he said. ``I am also a visiting professor or VP for short.''

Spokesmen in the United States were not immediately available to provide further details.

Gore, who became a vice chairman for U.S. investment firm Metropolitan West Financial Inc earlier this month, said playing with his grandchildren has become another priority since leaving office

``For example, there are usually a lot of cars on the road. Now it takes a lot longer to get around, and given that I haven't driven for eight years, I'm not sure it's wise (to drive),'' said Gore, who was driven in a limousine while he was vice president.

Didn't I see Bush driving Putin around the ranch? Gore is not only a limousine liberal, he is now impotent to do the simplest things for himself--like drive a car. That's what comes from living on the government dole for most of his adult life. What a sad picture of a nonfunctional human talking head!

each menu is modeled after the butterfly ballot, and orders are given via a punch card system. You keep the chads.

"given that I haven't driven for eight years"
Thank you for sharing that. Whose drivin? Are we paying for that???
Next election!! My aunt fanny.
BUT I live around alot of soccer moms that think this guy is cool.
It's hard to live in a soccer mom world and it's even harder to live in Gore's. These people don't even know the Constitution exists, if they do they don't care. Yikes! !

[GeronL]

Gore won't be slinging hash-browns at the new digs I take it.

Billy Jeff's Original Foot-Long Dog

'I never can get enough' -- A. Gore Jr., prop.
