Al Gore is now richer than
Mitt Romney – and it’s all
thanks to big oil

Telegraph [UK], by Tim Stanley

Al Gore’s strategy for saving the Earth seems to be to raise enough money to be able to buy it. After selling his failing Current TV company to Al Jazeera, Gore is suddenly a super rich man. Forbes analyst Ryan Mac says, “Taking into account taxes to be paid on the deal, possible earlier debt and the fact that Gore´s representatives declined to comment, Forbes conservatively estimates the former vice president´s net worth to be at least $300 million.”[Snip] Why, it’s bankrolled by the medieval kingdom of Qatar--which, in turn, makes its money out of black gold.

I´m shocked - SHOCKED! - to discover that Al Gore Jr. had stock in Occidental Petroleum. That´s the oil company owned by Armand Hammer - later revealed to have been a Soviet operative all along - who bankrolled the entire career & lifestyle of Al´s father, including the tuition to put Junior through St. Albans School.

Al is old and grossly fat. As a reader I enjoy some books more than others. Obituaries can be like that too.

But, being a good liberal, I just know that old Wooden Head will volunteer to pay most of his gains in extra taxes.

How much anybody wanna bet that Algore pays less taxes than he gives in charitable contributions (nearly none)?

Even after Dear Leader(US)´s tax grab on the rich (why do you think this deal came through before Dec. 31, by the way).

Dirty little secret ... Algore, Blowhard Buffett, and their types have WEALTH, not INCOME. They really don´t care about a 36% vs 39.6% income tax rate ... most of their income is either (1) deferred, (2) capital gains, or (3) tax-free municipal bonds.

They actually like higher income tax rates because it makes the demand for their luxury goods lower (and cheaper). Doesn´t cost as much to hire the pool boy. Not as much crowd, especially those disgusting new rich types, at the club and it´s easier to get prime locations and times at the swanky restaurants.

Hum, can we DEMAND to see HIS TAX RETURNS in a few years to see if he has been as generous and giving as the Romneys?

Like most Leftist icons, Al Gore is incapable of either shame or embarrassment. The only thing that would slow him down is criminality, and as long as the DoJ is in the hands of comrade Holder, he has nothing to fear.

And fatter. And homelier. And yuckier. And dumber. And more obnoxious.

Mitt is not worrying.

The US State Department has issued a statement in the aftermath of yesterday’s barbaric killing of a British soldier by Islamist militants in Woolwich. It reads in full: The United States condemns today’s attack in the Woolwich district of London. We stand with our U.K. allies in the face of such senseless violence. Our thoughts and condolence are with the family of the victim and the British people. This is exactly the same language President Obama used to describe the killing of the US Ambassador to Libya and three American personnel in Benghazi on

More than 100 members of far-right group the English Defence League gathered near the scene of the suspected terrorist attack last night.[Snip] Riot police holding shields formed a cordon around the area as the EDL members waved flags and chanted ´no surrender to the Muslim scum´, ‘Rule Britannia’ and ‘England’. EDL leader Stephen Lennon--who goes by the name Tommy Robinson--addressed the crowd, saying: ´We have got weak leadership. They have allowed this to happen. People are scared to say the word Muslim. They are scared to offend them. You know what? We are offended. People in this country are angry.

As news of the killing quickly spread on social media, there were calls for people to visit the site to donate, or buy T-shirts or other merchandise as a show of support.

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps

A friend of Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev implicated himself and Tsarnaev in a 2011 triple slaying just before he was killed by an FBI agent early Wednesday, NBC and CBS News are reporting. Authorities were pressuring Chechan immigrant Ibragim Todashev, 27, to make a full confession to the murders when he suddenly turned violent, according to CBS. An FBI agent responded by firing his weapon and killing Todashev. The incident happened at Todashev´s Orlando apartment, not far from Universal Studios. Initially, authorities claimed that Todashev had lunged at the agent with a knife, but they later backtracked, saying it

This is the dramatic moment a woman appears to remonstrate with a man carrying a knife following a brutal attack in Woolwich. The image shows a man wearing a brown jacket and carrying what appears to be a large knife, speaking to the woman beside a blue car which has significant damage to its front end at the scene where another man died following the attack. The two alleged attackers are thought to have waited around for 20 minutes until Metropolitan Police officers arrived and then tried to attack them--but were swiftly shot by armed policemen, including a woman.

A dramatic video emerged tonight of a man with bloodied hands, carrying knives and ranting ´We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you´, after a serving soldier was hacked to death by two men just 200 yards from an Army barracks. The man can be seen and heard talking to the camera in footage obtained by ITV News. It came as terrified eyewitnesses saw two men shot by police marksmen after the machete attack in Woolwich, south-east London. It is thought that the two men waited around for 20 minutes until police arrived and then tried to

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
