Meet Al Gore at Copenhagen, for $1,209
2009-12-02
A fleeting few moments with a former vice president now goes for $1,209.

"Meet Al Gore in Copenhagen."

An official announcement from this fair Danish city says all: The former vice president is getting star treatment when he arrives with an entire swarm of green-minded gadflies for the United Nation's week-long global warming extravaganza that begins Dec. 7.

"Have you ever shaken hands with an American vice president? If not, now is your chance. Meet Al Gore in Copenhagen during the UN Climate Change Conference," notes the Danish tourism commission, which is helping Mr. Gore promote "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis," his newest book about global warming in all its alarming modalities.

#7  Too bad it's in Copenhagen. If it were in Brussels, one neutron weapon could put an end to two useless entities - the EU "government" and the UN IPCC. I wouldn't hesitate to bomb Brussels, but Copenhagen is a beautiful place.

Entire swarm of green-minded gadflies... global warming extravaganza.

Global warming is a hoax extravaganzant proportions. "Swarm of green-minded gadflies" is a nice use of English words--very descriptive. Turd flies or bottle flies might be crude but also descriptive.

#5  I wouldn't meet with him if he paid me $1000.

'Cuz I'd probably get arrested for slapping the sh*t out of him.

#4  SUckers. I got to contribute to Al's phantom car company, the one that's supposed to be built someday, (maybe) in Finland, for a paltry $2*

*my share of the $529m sweetheart deal between DOE and Al's Finnish electric car startup
