The SEC probably has to pay kickbacks to Dodd and Frank, too.

I’d be willing to bet that sometime down the road we will find out that Gore is dirty as hell. Something stinks about this. I’ll bet he’s doing something illegal.

I used to say, “when the revolution comes, there will be a lamp post for you”. Al Gore only biblical justice will serve for you.
Every penny of your gains are out of the hide of those poorest amongst us. Those who struggle to heat their homes and feed their children.

I think we should make him eat all the carbon he won’t be allowing us to ‘emit’ any more.

Do you think there is something wrong with being active in business in this country? Nope. Now scams are a whole 'nuther thing..

Al Gore, the Bernie Madoff of carbon.
Didn’t Enron get exposed and driven out of business, discredited and humiliated, for exercising the same kind of bookkeeping legerdemain? Just a more sophisticated game of three-card monte.

A breakdown of the Gorebot's scam *&* subsequent payoff.
Whatever fact(s) are presented come from our pals at the NYSlimes; so, take 'em for what they're worth.
Considering the source, the numbers are probably quite a bit higher in Gorebot's favor.
Nice catch, Lori. ;^)

It was never about the environment...it’s about money, power and control. Looks like Gore has done quite well for himself.

The whole thing sounds like a giant “pump and dump” scheme. So far, we’re getting the pumping — if Gore also dumps, he’s breaking all sorts of laws. (Sorry for any images that conjures up.)

Cook County capitalism at its best! Your friends get the big government contracts! Except here it’s hundreds of millions, not just hundreds of thousands!

Several wealthy corporate heads just handed him stock and stock options for “consulting work.Consulting, you ask? That liar? That F’ing incompetent? That moron? Also on the board of several companies run by left wingers. Soros probably has paid him off too. A REAL POS
