I am sure this one will get DM's bowels in an uproar, but Al Gore has his own little "inconvenient truth" that has been uncovered. We all have heard by now about Al Gore's use of electricity at 20 times the national average. We have also heard how he buys "carbon credits" to offset this. The question is, have you heard that Gore buys these credits from himself? Well he does. Gore buys these credits from a company called Generation Investment Management that he owns and is the Chairman. But there is more, this group invests in "green companies". This means the more Al Gore hypes global warming the more he and his cronies stand to make. Yet there is still more. Here are some intresting tidbits about some of his partners:
To add insult to injury, Gore chose Peter S. Knight, an old friend and colleague some are sure to recall, as the US President of GIM.
This would be him: Reno Rejects Inquiry Into a Clinton Aide
Atty Gen Janet Reno decides against any further investigation of Peter Knight, Pres Clinton's 1996 campaign manager in connection with office building development in nation's capital; such an investigation could have led to naming independent counsel to look further into activities of Knight, who is also former top assistant to Vice Pres Al Gore.
Yes, thanks to Janet Reno, no one ever found out how $20,000 in stock turned up in an account for Knight's then 13 year old child.
Dispute over Democratic Party campaign-financing shifts to Zachary Knight, 13-year-old son of Peter S Knight, Clinton-Gore campaign chairman in 1996, who was given $20,000 in stock by William Haney 3d, chairman of Molten Metal Technology Inc; Republicans believe gift, which came after father was named chairman of campaign, was really payment to Knight, who had worked as $7,000-per-month lobbyist for company; Knight denies involvement in any impropriety
This is about one of the biggest scams going on, but will there be any calls for an investigation? Of course not. The reason being is that the left does not care when one of their own is doing the scamming. If you need proof just check back with the comments I am sure that DM will leave here like he has in other posts about global warming. He always tries to deflect the criticism by going back to his hate America arguments.

Al is trying to apply the pressure necessary to turn his little Carbon Credits scam into diamonds.
