| Al Gore, Tipper Gore snap up Montecito-area villa |
| 2010-04-30 |
| Al and Tipp doing it hard, watching the seas rise, but somebody has to do it . Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to their real estate holdings, reports the Montecito Journal. The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. |

| #3 I guess he wants to be closer to the Hollyweird elite who gave him an Oscar. They are sympathetic to his brand of snake oil and blather. California's loss is Tennessee's gain. |

| #2 Does Montecito even have enough electricity to support the Gore Green™ lifestyle? |
