Al Gore Has a New Carbon Footprint For Us to Fill In
Clearly Gore’s humble Nashville abode was way too confining, so Al has purchased a new gigantic pulpit from which to preach to the rest of us about how our gas-powered leaf blowers and electric can openers are killing the planet:
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.
It’s perfectly understandable — when you’re full of that much s#*t you need a lot of toilets — but a seaside mansion? Gore doesn’t seem too intimidated by the imminent rising oceans his fellow enviroscammers keep predicting. What a brave soul!
Even the commenters at Democratic Underground are turning on Gore.
You know, when it comes to Al Gore, this is one time I heartily agree with Obama:
“I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”

P.T. Barnum would have loved Al Gore.
Gore is our Marie Antoinette.
“Going Green is for THEE not for ME!!!”
Of course he NEEDS 9 BATHROOMS for all the CRAP he’s spewing!!!
Ad: Arizona Illegals, Help Wanted!
O-bow-mao is not talking about Gore, he’s talking about us.
Al Bore is a hypocrite. O-bow-mao is an idiot.
Just further evidence that it is all bs. Gore never bought any of the horsecarp he’s selling.
He only believes in the returns on his Green investments….$$$$.
What, no polar bear sanctuary!!!!
If you all have not been watching Glenn on his Fox show I might suggest you do so on gore and the carbon thing. It seems that the Golden Sachs is involved big time with carbon. Glenn plans to up-date the people involved on the show tonight. BTW, this bho is involved also!

I wonder if Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, et.al. are starting to regret their votes?
You just can’t make up this crapola. Hahaha – he doesn’t have to pretend anymore. If he received gubmint $$ I want a refund or his lard butt in jail.
I think Al has made enough money…
speaking of… these two stacked Drudge headlines amused me ..
Obama: ‘I Do Think At A Certain Point You’ve Made Enough Money’…
Oprah Winfrey $100 Million Deal With PROCTER & GAMBLE Rocks Industry…
Hey Barry, you gonna tell yer BFF Opra?
Errah, your seat down here just got a little warmer Al . . . .
Al the Gore, Hipócritas.
This new home is located in Santa Barbara County, California. The article states that this is ocean view property not ocean front property. Elevation for the community of Montecito is listed as 180 ft.
So does AL think he is investing in future ocean front property?
Total hypocrite!
It is no coincidence that the CCX is in Chicago.
How audacious is TOO audacious?
What about Oprah’s 100 million dollar deal with Procter and Gamble? Hasn’t SHE made enough?
So Oprah has a new neighbor. Excellent town to send the illegals for free housing.
According to Obama, people like Al Gore and Oprah Winfrey have made enough money. Therefore, in the interest of wealth redistribution, they can send all future income to me.
What’s that? Obama was just shooting his mouth off like a fool?
Oprah to Obama: STFU.
Probably not. TEH WON wasn’t referring to wealth, and they’ve got more than just about anyone can immagion, but income, and never mentions what that “certain point” is.
I’m sure its on a sliding scale, though, in relationship to tax liability the governments neverending need for more revenue….and attempting to keep as many as possible out of the exclusive billionaire boys club. They figure the club has as many members as it needs to run the new world order now.
I’m wondering what extreme actions Obama will take over this oil spill out in the Gulf. Remember, they won’t let an emergency go to waste. Do they stop all domestic oil drilling? Do they Close all oil production? This could be huge. They won’t waste their opportunity to take over all oil related activities.
This is sooo typical and sooo disgusting, but why am I not surprised. Hey ThatSamIAm - watch the price of gas at your local station. Obeyme see’s this as a great opportunity to feed more of our money to his BFFs in Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. I have so had it with this jerk!!!
I don’t think there is enough carbon to fill in Al’s footprint.
I guess he just must have forgotten about all of the doomsday predictions he made concerning rising sea level?
We can at least hope that it will smashed by an asteroid that went undetected because NASA wastes so much of its money on global warming
‘research’propaganda.Asteroid tracking – NASA cannot even scrape up a measley $300 million to catalog large asteroids some of which actually could ‘have our name on them’ in the future.
What will Obama do to stop the property values from plummeting within a five mile radius of Gore’s chateau?
Green for THEE not for ME!
(I’ve got green for you…PUKE!)
I can tell you that Bill Gates dad sure doesn’t. He is out pimping an initiative here in WA ST to implement an income tax on the rich (queue up the laugh track on that one).
This part makes you wonder what planet Gates is really living on:
The Legistlature here in WA ST just repealled the initaitive by the people that required a 2/3 majority to raise taxes. This initiative has passed 4 or 5 times in the past two decades and has to kep being voted on again, because it keeps getting repealed by the legislature so they can raise our taxes (which they did to the tune of over $800 million this year and that still leaves us with a huge defeceit)
Algore must have flown over my neck of the woods. It’s been snowing for 2 days straight
Stand by for Obamaoil and $7 a gallon gas before the end of summer.
I suppose Al Gore is going to travel back and forth between Santa Barbara and Tennessee on a Vespa.
It’s the least you could do to help save the planet, right Al?
Right Al?
Tell that to your buddy George Soros.
Well, I’ve heard it gets cold when evil is near.
Not a big deal. Al will put compact CFL bulbs in a couple of closets, install a skylight or two, a low-flow fixture in the guest bathroom and… Voila! The mansion is “green”. Then Al Gore will be roundly applauded for his dedication, selflessness and vision, maybe he will even jet off to a ceremony in his honor in Hollywood to receive an award.
Now everybody calm down and get back to work but make sure you don’t make too much money or Dear Leader will not be pleased.
Ah, one of Oprah’s neighbors now! Don’t worry Doug, Montecito is way up the hill – no danger of those boiling oceans rising up there and ruining Al’s day! The view is killer though. At one time (and maybe still) Montecito had the highest concentration of wealth in the US. Hey, I would live there! One minor problem – fires occasionally burn some of these joints down – I certainly hope we can push through National Fire Insurance so that rich people can have our help insuring their mansions against the inevitable.
You misunderstand TEH ONE’s statement. He was referring to US – not any of his supporters or stringpullers. If we make what he considers “enough money”, he (i.e. the government) gets the amount over and above that point. And that point will always be subject to revision downward.
I am no hearing Warmist distancing themselves from Al Gore, because they know he is a buffoon. But too late, they have already bought his crap.
ditto. We literally got 2 feet of snow from last night until this morning. Thanks, Al Bore.
What a hypocritical pig he is. Spit. And, if he keeps both mansions, he will use up a lot of precious fuel going back and forth. How can he possibly justify that?? How many opulent mansions are too many, Obama? Hmmm??
This is a HUGE story that no one is covering except Beck. It is the scandal of the century. Where is the press? They won’t be able to ignore this one!! Obama is going down!! The story must be spread far and wide.
I have read, only once so far – that Freddie and Fannie have a patent on carbon trading and it is a lock for 20 years – I also understand the Goredolph has a hand in this also. Anyone else see this?
To get a feel for the neighborhood, go here (I Googled them, other than that I don’t know this company). $8.875 million is practically a fixer-upper in this area. After the opening slide show, click “Featured Properties”…
Montecito! What, couldn’t find any beachfront in Shanghai? After all, shouldn’t you be investing in real estate there? You know you owe them! Besides, Tipper would fit right in with all the strumpets downtown!
I wonder how many average American homes worth of electricity and gas hes new mansion will suck down.
But hey, it is us average folks in our 1-2K SF houses driving cars that is destroying the planet, not jet setting activists going form mansion to mansion.
That sounds like an awful lot of personal water consumption in a subtropical desert environment. And, of course, it’s not like SoCAL has a problem with adequate water supply lately, is it?
What a tool.
Not to mention the empty mansion they aren’t living in when they are in the other one! I really think they should allow some poor homeless folks to use their home when they are not there. Otherwise, what a waste!! Have they no heart???
Don’t worry – the batteries in his Prius never require added water, so 500 gallons a day on the lawn is ok.
Notice he uses ‘you’ instead of another term ie ‘I do think, at a certain point, one has made enough money.’ Because he doesn’t include himself nor the other elitist swine. He & they want your money.
Unless he’s uneducated, or not familiar with English. Which is possible.
Or illegals like BHO’s Aunty Zeituni Onyango. It would be more difficult to find her with so many more rooms to hide in.
Anybody that buys carbon credits from Goofy Gore needs their heads examined. Enough said!
Hey, Oprah. I have a suggestion. You just signed a $100 million deal wth P&G. Why don’t you donate all that money to set up a trust to buy hygene products for underprivileged young girls….
Your buddy Obama says you don’t need the money.
I think I’m beginning to understand how this Obama Socialism thing is supposed to work.
I don’t know. How many people have died or been injured by an oil slick as opposed a plane crash, but I don’t see us shutting down planes because of a rare — and not as temporary — accident. Keeping people warm and factories going cheaply is more important than a handful of gooey birds.

Is this new property anywhere near the area where they cut the water off on the farmers to save a minnow? Maybe he got a REALLY good deal….
No, they shut water off to farmers who do the completely unnecessary work of feeding people. On the other hand water for rich peoples lawns is sacrosanct. And no, rich people don’t live near farms…
I guess now that Obama is in office, Gore believes that the oceans won’t rise, and it’s safe to spend almost $9 Million (much of it made off Gore-Bull Warming hype) on property near the ocean.
Liberals think they can just pass a new tax or power-grab bill and all will be well. Besides with “The One” in the WH, spreading his hands across the troubled waters, there won’t be any seas rising.
This guy cannot fade to black soon enough. He’s like that kid we all knew in junior high that always had a green booger hanging in his nose.
For those who have not been following Glenn Beck this week check out the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCE)
Obama’s involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange
Al Gore convinced his friends at Fannie Mae, Fannie Mae of the Mortgage Meldown, to invest in the CCE. Al Gore may be a thief, a rat and a phony but he is a rich thief, rat and phony.
Caddyshack reference: “Ten bucks says he eats it!”
We can only hope a global-warming induced tsunami will strike his home and wash him away and cleanse the earth.
Good find ArizonaN.
Gore, Obama and the rest of the Climate Extortionists have to be stopped.
Anyone wonder how coincidental the timing is of this oil rig explosion?
While there’s no evidence saying it was eco-terrorism and pulling off something like this would likely be extremely difficult for these lunatics, I would not put it past the Eco-extremists to try to sabotage an oil rig in order to stop offshore drilling.
Consider what they’ve been willing to do.
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/03/animal-rights-terrorists-firebomb-scientists-car-home-in-santa-cruz/
It would not be prudent to just assume they were not involved.
I thought of that as soon as it happened!! Although they may not have thought about the unintended consequenses of their actions (oil slick killing precious wildlife and pristine beaches destroyed), I believe that eco-terrorists would do this. The ends justifies the means to them. I don’t think it will be possible to ever know for sure.
If in fact the eco-terror groups were involved in some way, the immediate environmental impact would probably not be a factor that would stop them from carrying out the act. They’d of course have to be crazed in the first place to do it. So rationality would not be a factor.
But as I wrote, there’s no proof. And as unlikely as it is that they were involved, I do think there’s a need to dig very, very deep to find out if they could have been involved. Detailed background checks of everyone who had been on that rig in the last several weeks would be a good start.
Events like this are rare, primarily because the crews on these rigs are highly trained not to mention incredibly brave. They are very good at what they do. It’s the timing that is curious.
Has anyone ACTUALLY heard any reason why this rig blew up. I know a natural gas pocket could fire up this kind of an oil rig, but I have not heard a single survivors tale of what happened. The mine disaster was wall to wall statements where as the rig explosion might as well have happened in outer space for all the news regarding this event. WHY?
I found this. It refers to the “cementing” process as potentially being related to the blow out. But so far, it’s speculation. There does not seem to be any official word.
But I’d still insist on investigating whether or not sabotage was a possible cause regardless of what technical conclusions were reached.
The process is supposed to prevent oil and natural gas from escaping by filling gaps between the outside of the well pipe and the inside of the hole bored into the ocean floor. Cement, pumped down the well from the drilling rig, is also used to plug wells after they have been abandoned or when drilling has finished but production hasn’t begun.
In the case of the Deepwater Horizon, workers had finished pumping cement to fill the space between the pipe and the sides of the hole and had begun temporarily plugging the well with cement; it isn’t known whether they had completed the plugging process before the blast.
Regulators have previously identified problems in the cementing process as a leading cause of well blowouts, in which oil and natural gas surge out of a well with explosive force. When cement develops cracks or doesn’t set properly, oil and gas can escape, ultimately flowing out of control. The gas is highly combustible and prone to ignite, as it appears to have done aboard the Deepwater Horizon, which was leased by BP PLC, the British oil giant.
Concerns about the cementing process—and about whether rigs have enough safeguards to prevent blowouts—raise questions about whether the industry can safely drill in deep water and whether regulators are up to the task of monitoring them.
The scrutiny on cementing will focus attention on Halliburton Co., the oilfield-services firm that was handling the cementing process on the rig, which burned and sank last week. The disaster, which killed 11, has left a gusher of oil streaming into the Gulf from a mile under the surface.
Federal officials declined to comment on their investigation, and Halliburton didn’t respond to questions from The Wall Street Journal.
He is trying to establish a base on the west coast from which to hunt for the illusive manbearpig.
