Staffers at Current TV aren’t happy about Al Gore’s decision to sell to Al Jazeera, New York Post TV critic Linda Stasi reports:

Yesterday morning, the still shell shocked staff at Current TV was called to an all hands staff meeting at its San Francisco headquarters, which was teleconferenced to their offices in LA and NYC, to meet their new bosses. . . .

“Of course Al [Gore] didn’t show up,” said one high placed Current staffer. “He has no credibility.

“He’s supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertising–and Al Gore, that [faker] sells to the emir?” . . .

The displeasure with Gore among the staff was thick enough to cut with a scimitar.

“We all know now that Al Gore is nothing but a [faker],” said the staffer bluntly.

We could have told them that in 2000, if not earlier.
