Al Jazeera America Sues Former VP Gore
ABC News ^ | September 19, 2014

Al Jazeera America is suing former Vice President Al Gore and Joel Hyatt, the former owners of the TV network that became Al Jazeera America.

The parties are fighting over money that is being held in escrow. The former vice president and Hyatt, the founder of Hyatt Legal Services, sued the network last month saying that it was improperly withholding tens of millions of dollars placed in escrow when Al Jazeera bought Current TV for $500 million.

Al Jazeera America says it is entitled to the money because Gore and Hyatt agreed to indemnify the network for claims made against Current TV, but didn't live up to their promise.

More than that, he is a craven, grasping example of the worst ever produced in this country.

Not sure I’d want to tick ANYBODY off that’s on the same side as al-Qaeda/ISIS...

(I’m talking about Aljazeera in case you were wondering.”

"Al Jazeera America says it is entitled to the money because Gore and Hyatt agreed to indemnify the network for claims made against Current TV, but didn't live up to their promise."

Gore must have missed that part of the negotiations because he drank too much iced tea, and had to keep going to the bathroom.

You know what they say when you deal with the Devil — wait which one is the Devil? Is there a saying about when the devil deals with the Devil?

Well, maybe we’ll get lucky and Al jizzera will cut off
Algore’s head or Al will put a carbon foot print in their
ass, either way we win.

fatwa for fatso.

Kind of sounds like a title for a new Broadway musical. Didn't we have a "Springtime for Hitler"?

The best solution is a merger brokered by Jimmy Carter. The revived network could be called Al Gojira. Quite an image upgrade from Crazed Sex Poodle to Kaiju Bambi Killer.

For the first time I’m pulling for the lawyers on both sides, to clean their clocks, take as much money from each as possible and run away laughing.
