Al Jazeera
Gore

The man lots love to hate made news this week in
selling his 20% stake in his poorly performing cable network.  Of course this story is about Al Jazeera
Gore.  The Qatar government owned
news network paid half a billion big boys to acquire Current TV from Alfalfa and
his team.

Commentators on Fox called Alaric a hypocrite.  The New York Times exposed Big Al as
trying to close the deal before the new tax rates took effect.  I simply will not be part of the name
calling and will simply refer to Fat Albert from now on as Al Jazeera
Gore.

AJG had an Orthodox Jew as his running mate back in 2000 to
win the Florida vote.  Now that we
are upon the bar mitzvah of the hanging chad episode, AJG has thrown all caution
to the wind in return for his hundred million dollars and is willing to team up
with the anti-American and anti-Israel crowd in his own words "to
give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to
provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no
one else is telling."

OK
AJG “to give voice to those who are typically not heard” seems a bit far-fetched
when you are one of the loudest voices in the room and the mobs in the Middle
East are certainly not quiet. “To speak truth to power” is kind of hard to
swallow when you and your buddies at Bloom Energy fib about the carbon
emissions, the efficiency, and toxic hazardous waste of your Boxes.   “To provide independent and diverse
points of view” tell me about your independence from Wall Street and your money
making schemes.  “To tell the story
no one else is telling” c’mon Al only Fox did that about Benghazi while your
ex-boss’ wife was blaming a video.

AJG
is now all jazzed up that he is tight with Qatar.  His common bond with Qatar is their
equally high carbon footprint.
No joke!  Qatar
has the highest per capita carbon dioxide footprint of any country in the
world at 55.4 metric tons per person per year which is 10 times the world
average.  I bet AJG has a carbon
footprint ten times higher than the average Qatari.   The average "wasteful" American emits only 17.7
metric tons of CO2 per year.  The one good thing about the sale of
Current is that the electricity in the current will come from fully nonrenewable
resources, the hundreds of billions of dollars of oil wealth the Qataris have
amassed.

We
had “LBJ all the way” now we have “AJG you’re BSing me”.
