To somewhat defend the guy, there are some toothfish fisheries that are very well managed and very healthy. You don't usually get that story in the news, though. They [media/greens] report only the worst of the worst. They don't want anyone fishing for anything anywhere.
You don't see to many stories on the news about success stories in fisheries manangement, like Sea Scallops for example...

who gives a crap... at least he is behind the cause to make sure those fish will be able to survive in the areas that they are in now- Do you guys really think that someone like bush would even think twice about a fish like that??

You got it bad don't you Nebe? Picked yourself up a pretty nasty case case of B.D.S. (Bush Derangement Syndrome). What the hell did this have to do with GW? We are poking fun of a guy who clearly takes a 'do as I say not as I do attitude.' Ad do MOST politicians. This wasn't party specific. Good lord.

Simply put...Al shoulda paid attention.
Do ya think he would've let Humpback Whale be on the menu even if he wasn't the one who selected the menu?Of course not!
Some of y'all would actually want to elect a guy who CAN'T pay attention to the details!DETAILS ARE EVERYTHING,especially when lives are involved.This insane devotion to party lines has to stop and the guys who worship at the party-line altar know who you are.
The law is the law and endangered is endangered.Al effed up,plain and simple.

um.. AL broke no law and this fish is not an endangered species.
the only thing Al effed up was serving a fish that has a contreversial past.
You can buy these fish at one of the most green conscious supermarket chains in america for around $20 a Lb..
This topic is so rediculous its well... rediculous. |

This guy knows that everything he does is looked at and scrutinized. He may not have chosen the menu, or even approved it. But, I'm sure he (or Tipper) knew what was being served. He makes himself a public figure, so he has to deal with the media attention whether it is positive or negative. I personally think he's a doofus, but I don't wish bad things on anyone (like a son getting arrested for drugs), including him. As far as him being "for the environment", that's great, but it doesn't make him a wonderful person. It just makes him someone who has a public platform to try to get people to vote for him for president someday. And, I do check the endangered species list before I eat. As long as cows, pigs and pasta are not on it, I'll be o.k. |

give me a break.
put it into perspective and do a little thinking on your own..
the guy is under the microscope because he's taking a controversial issue by storm... im sure they even look at what kind of toilet paper he uses and how many sheets per wipe.

not bad at all. I used bush as an example because it is the morons who support him who would think that serving chilean sea bass is some sort of crime, or at least it is some sort of reason to point the finger...
Striped bass was almost over fished to the brink in the 80's... what if Gore served that for his wedding dinner?? I dont see the difference.

Let's face it, Al Gore is part of "fat cat America" but that is the whole reason why people are actually listening to the guy. Of course everything he does will be put under a microscope, but at least he has the balls to step up and make people aware of the problems.
Did you know he purchases alternative energy credits for all the energy he uses at his multiple properties? Not saying the guy is saint, but give me a break with this story.

i think al gore is a pinko wanker, but honestly ... do you think he picked the menu for his daughter's wedding?
who picked the menu when you guys got married? (if it were up to me i would have had mine catered by hooters).
on the flip side, would you have been such a debbie downer to your own daughter by saying "no you can't serve chilean sea bass it will make me look bad."

This is awesome! I started this because I thought it was funny that the Humane Society was giving Gore a hard time about fish and this thread tumbled out of control. Pinko wanker?! Fantastic.
My first thread started in the Scuppers. Gonna have to do more of this.

This is the same guy who wants everybody to be "green" and save the environment, but flies around the country in a private jet to save the earth. I wonder if it runs on old cooking oil? If he wasn't the inventor of the internet, I'd think that he was a dummy, but obviously he is just a hypocrite.

As far as the jet goes. One could argue the value of the message he is trying to send far outweighs the CO2 emissions of his private jet.
The non-climate change crowd and the it's natural and not our fault crowd will pick everything he does apart from now till eternity... I can see it now "oh god his casket isnt biodegradable..."
Give me a break... if he had served Cod would they have griped about illegal trawling on closed parts of Georges? OR if he served shrimp would the mention the 8lbs of bycatch per lb caught wild or the habitat degradation of shrimp farming... what a waste of time... frigging media drives me nuts...
Like FWW said... do you really think he even asked what was being served?
