Just for the sake of accuracy, Gore started an equity fund (Generation 
Investment Management) which bought 9.5% in a company that does carbon 
credit portfolios.

So, there is a big bruhaha because a company that Gore was co-founder of 
bought stock in a company that does carbon credit portfolios.

Where, might I ask, was all this righteous indignation over Cheney and 
Halliburton?  Gore doesn't own, nor has he ever worked for the carbon credit 
portfolion company.  Gore isn't getting the U.S. government to give the 
company billions in contracts.  So, obviously, the company that Gore's 
company invested in hasn't cost the U.S. BILLIONS of dollars.  Nor does Gore 
personally have 18 million in deferred stock in the company, nor does Gore 
collect $150,000 a year from the company.  Nor do all his family members own 
MILLIONS of dollars in stock from the company.

BTW, when Cheney left office, when you count all his money in Halliburton, 
his net worth was $94 million.  Ah, he was worth a mere $30 million when he 
went into office.  Let's see what he's worth in eight years.
