Have too much money? Don’t have enough brains? Then visitcopenhagen.com:
Have you ever shaken hands with an American vice president? If not, now is your chance. Meet Al Gore in Copenhagen during the UN Climate Change Conference in December 2009.
Former American Vice President Al Gore, who is known for his environmental film An Inconvenient Truth, will visit Copenhagen during The UN Climate Change Conference. Here you will have the opportunity to meet him…
Tickets are available in different price ranges for the event. If you want it all, you can purchase a VIP ticket, where you get a chance to shake hands with Al Gore, get a copy of Our Choice and have your picture taken with him. The VIP event costs DKK 5,999 and includes drinks and a light snack.
As Newsbusters points out, DKK 5,999 converts to around 1,200 bucks, or $4 a pound. That must be a heck of a handshake. Although it’s said in whispers that with the merest glance, Al Gore can give sight to the blind and heal those who were lame. So just imagine what kind of awesome glowy magicalness you could get from the touch of his fat, sweaty hand!
You know how global warming acolytes like to dismiss “deniers” — AKA anybody who smells something fishy about this whole thing — as being in the pocket of Big Oil or Big Pharma or whichever Big Group is this week’s boogeyman? Well, what about Big Al’s pockets? Ever since he realized he’s never going to be president, he’s whipped up all this apocalyptic panic over nothing and made a mint from the resulting hysteria. Now the UN is throwing a big party to celebrate it a big conference to save us from it, he’s selling yet another book about it, and he’s charging people extra just to touch the hem of his garment. If you want to talk about a planet in crisis, how about a planet where being in the same room as Al Gore isn’t some sort of punishment for the worst kind of criminals?
Although I guess it is. They’re getting ready to swarm Carbonhagen.
Calling Al Gore a snake oil salesman is an insult to snake oil salesmen. At least they actually put something in the bottle.

Looking at that picture I have now come up with the reason Big Al thinks there is global warming. He has put so much weight on that his body temperature is elevated.
How can putting that much weight on be good for the enviorment? All the extra food that must be produced can not be good for the enviorment.
Of course, the $1200 only gets you the handshake. You still have to get to Copenhagen, which means more money and a plane flight that increases your carbon footprint.
Where does that $1200 go? I bet it goes into Gore’s pocket, to help pay for carbon offsets for the trip you just made.
And is the handshake a guarantee? What if you pay and you DON’T get the handshake? Do you get your money back?
So you only get to do this if you’re already rich enough to afford it…which probably means there’ll be no global warming deniers in the line to touch his sweaty mitt.
I don’t think Big Fey Al is “known for his environmental film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’” quite as much as he’s known for looking like a giant inflatable sea turtle. In a suit, no less.
That’s Al Gore in the pic? I thought it was Rosie O’Donnell.
Oh well, same thing…
Cmon, be nice to Big Al. I mean, if I had the fame already, and could whip up some lame ass story and make a cool $50 million plus, I’d do it. I mean, hell, I’d burn fossil fuels next to the carbon data sensors just to show that yep, carbon emissions are increasing, now buy my book.
On a side note, he’s still a moron.
I recall AL Gore quoting Upton Sinclair: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
Might be the only truth Big Al has spoken.
And I thought it was crazy to pay $20 for autographs at Comic Con.
I’d rather give oral sex to a cactus than pay any amount to be in the same hemisphere as this useless bag of mostly-water. Hell, I wouldn’t TAKE a grand to shake his hand… it wouldn’t be nearly enough to make bail for what would surely happen if I were to touch his foul, scaly paw.
“A fool and his money are soon parted.”
And Al is about to prove it.

If words could kill the venom in this post would have sent Big Al to the hospital last Wednesday.
Quigonkick FTW. The prickly, ouchy, hurty win.
How much are they charging to hit him over the head with the hacked emails and data from Climategate?
You know, that extra weight is making the planes/cars/limos less fuel efficient. Losing weight would probably improve Al’s carbon footprint a heck of a lot more than “offsets”.
Speaking of fradulent hypocrites, the Catholic League just totally slammed PeTA!! There’s a new naked ad with a crucifix/angel theme, so the Pres. of the Catholic league whipped this amazing comeback out:
“The fact is that cats and dogs are a lot safer in pet stores than they are in the hands of PETA employees. Moreover, pet stores don’t rip off Christian iconography and engage in cheap irreligious claims. PETA is a fraud. It also has a long and disgraceful record of exploiting Christian and Jewish themes to hawk its ugly services. Those who support this organization sorely need a reality check. They also need a course in Ethics 101.”
(sorry it’s a bit off topic, but I thought it might be interesting since it’s so rare that hypocrites of such high caliber get called out)
Handshakes?
Huh. And here I figured that Manbearpig had cloven hooves…
