Saving the planet is very profitable for Al. Read the contract and all the perks Al demands to come and lecture you how you should live your life - while he ignore them



Al Gore, $100,000 Man

No SUV when Democrat hits road for "Environmental Multimedia Lecture"

JULY 17--If you're looking to book Al Gore for a 75-minute "Environmental Multimedia Lecture," the former vice president will cost you $100,000, plus travel, hotel, security, and per diem expenses. Gore's standard speaker's contract, a copy of which you'll find below, also stipulates that the Democrat's ground transportation be "a sedan, NOT an SUV." Additionally, Gore requests that speech sponsors make every effort to use a hybrid vehicle for his transport. The Gore contract, which is more restrained than the one used by Rudolph Giuliani, stipulates that no press be permitted at the event and that the Democrat receive approval over the distribution of photographs from the appearance. Gore's contract for a May 21 appearance at the University of California, San Diego was released by the school. Though the contract seeks "absolute confidentiality" when it comes to the deal's terms, since UCSD is a public university, the California Public Records Act requires that the document be released upon request.

Just goes to show that politicians with name recognition can clean up financially after they leave office. Clinton has earned millions from making speeches, and I think I remember that the Japanese once paid Bush #43 a couple millions dollars for a single speech.

It makes you wonder what GWB will be going for in 2010.


Do I hear $7.50? How about $7.50. Going once, going twice... sold to the highest bidder at $6.75 for a two hour speech presented by former President George W. Bush at the location of your choice. ;)

The difference is Al is running a scam for personal profit
