Al Gore: prophet or gypsy fortune teller?

The Goracle is no prophet. Come to his table for just a small, $100,000 fee and he’ll tell you the future of the planet!

Planet in crisis? It would seem to me if you’re really so darned concerned that planet earth is a ticking time bomb of SUV emissions ready to explode, you’d actually share your message for free.

Do prophets get speaking fees?

From the Smoking Gun:

JULY 17–If you’re looking to book Al Gore for a 75-minute “Environmental Multimedia Lecture,” the former vice president will cost you $100,000, plus travel, hotel, security, and per diem expenses. Gore’s standard speaker’s contract, a copy of which you’ll find below, also stipulates that the Democrat’s ground transportation be “a sedan, NOT an SUV.” Additionally, Gore requests that speech sponsors make every effort to use a hybrid vehicle for his transport. The Gore contract, which is more restrained than the one used by Rudolph Giuliani, stipulates that no press be permitted at the event and that the Democrat receive approval over the distribution of photographs from the appearance.

Gore wants us to use less energy…what a nut.

Gary–you poor boy. I think your leaders call you “useful.” You’re right in one regard–he wants US to use less energy–not him–just us. Your failure to address his speaking fees is noted.

[...] Frank apparently fears Al and continues her unrelenting “war on Gore” while telling us that the left “fears Fred Thompson“… the manly man in the red [...]

Is Fred the pro-choice lobbyist or the anti-choice candidate this week? I can’t recall.

Terry-
Thanks for the post, I appreciate your insight and willingness to question the global warming agenda and the motivations of Gore and Company. Keep up the good work…
