Must be great to be Al Gore

I love Al Gore. Such a man of convictions! He works tirelessly to save the environment from his 20-room, 8 bathroom Nashville estate (that not only burns through 19 times as much electricity as the average U.S. household but comes complete with a fleet of SUVs). Or from his mansion in Virginia. Or from the other one in Tennessee. In fact, Al is such a friend of the Earth, that the LA Times reported: “Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito (CA)-area property to their real estate holdings. 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.” What a guy!!! No wonder he got a Nobel prize.

But all of that hard work and hanging around those young, starry-eyed vegetarian environmentalists has taken its toll. Today, I learned Al is divorcing his wife of 40 years, Tipper. I understand that when the divorce is final, Al gets to claim Tipper as a carbon credit.
