Only a week after Live Earth, eco-warrior Al Gore didn't do much for his green credentials when he shocked fellow environmentalists by serving up an endangered fish at his daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner.

The former US vicepresident provided 75 guests with Chilean sea bass - one of the world's most threatened fish species.

Gore, 59, who created the climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth, sampled a sixcourse tasting menu at Beverly Hills' Crustacean restaurant which included the sea bass - also known as Patagonian toothfish.



Gore is such a shit head

Update- your posts are fucking hilarious! He is still a shit head endangered fish or not. Breeding them for fighting....good stuff

    j.t. the brick was talking last night about gore's daughters wedding and he was saying to his sidekick, loonie, that they could have easily crashed the reception, blah blah blah, and loonie comes up with "was al's son there? maybe we could have scored some coke."

    i chuckled.

    It is decreasing, like so many other fishstocks, but it is a long, long, LONG, way from being "one of the worlds most threatened fish species".

    yeah....I bet Gore even tortured the fish personally prior to cooking them.

    They were probably even from a school of bass that was just ready to spawn that would have helped save the population.

    Yeah and even worse...Gore told the guests not to bother eating all the bass on their plates so it would just be a waste on purpose.

    it's so true...

    Like duh! What would you expect from Al Gore. Him being the leading figure in the global warming scam prepetrated by this elite group of conspirators to earn federal grants and get us all to submit to government regulations on just how much we will be allowed to trash this planet!

    I want my freedom to turn this place into a lifeless dump, dammit!!

    I've heard rumors that he's been breeding fish for fish fighting. http://www.mit.edu/~lxs/cichlids/fighting.html It's a brutal underground sport in which several elite politicians have been known to participate. I've heard they not only gamble USD but also whether or not they'll vote for a bill. One source says they've seen Gore personally purchase over 500 lbs of fish food. You do the math.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilean_sea_bass

    quick read... pretty interesting stuff if your a fan of animals, seal life, or just like some fish on your plate :D

    i worked in a fish market for a few years in college, and i LOVE seafood. i was never a big fan of the chilean sea bass, i always thought it was over hyped and plain (prolly why it is so popular).

    i had heard people say it was "threatened", but it is always readily available... apparently there is an entire "black market" involving chilean sea bass because it is becoming very regulated bc overfishing is a threat to it in some regions... the FRENCH NAVY actually patrols certain waters of it's territories to combat the pirate operations

    looks like a bad choice by someone on that dish...


    side note... it seems as though all wild ocean species are currently threatened by pollution and fishing pressure. poisoning our own damn food supply, smooth move :rolleyes:

    I will not ever eat Chillaen Sea Bass, that is my part. Unless I am stranded on an island and that is the only fish I can catch with a pen being used as a spear tip. With those teeth no way I am trying to catch it by hand.

    Al Gore's fish dinner turns out green

    By Catherine Elsworth
    Last Updated: 12:01am BST 19/07/2007

    Al Gore, the world's most high profile green campaigner, was at the centre of an embarrassing row yesterday after the serving of a rare fish at his daughter's Beverly Hills wedding.

    Just one week after Live Earth, his global musical spectacular to raise awareness of environmental issues, the former vice-president attended a rehearsal dinner for his daughter's marriage that featured Chilean sea bass. Sarah Gore, 28, a medical student, was married to the Los Angeles businessman Bill Lee at the Beverly Hills Hotel on July 14.

    The night before the wedding, People magazine reported, the Gores were at a dinner for 75 at the nearby Crustacean restaurant where a six-course tasting menu included Chilean sea bass - also known as Patagonian toothfish.

    The reaction was swift: writing in in the Australian Daily Telegraph, Rebecca Keeble of Humane Society International, a conservation pressure group, complained of the danger to the species from "from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities".

    She noted that "more than 50 per cent of toothfish traded is illegally caught, and includes juveniles vital to the ongoing toothfish population". She called on the US government to help crack down on illegal fishing by sanctioning Spain for allowing its nationals to fish illegally for the species in conservation areas.

    And in the meantime, she acidly suggested, "Al Gore could choose something else to eat". Her attack on the former vice-president, and his implied hypocrisy, were rapidly picked up by bloggers around the world.

    But the fish enjoyed by the Gores were not endangered or illegally caught.

    Rather, the restaurant later confirmed, they had come from one of the world's few well-managed, sustainable populations of toothfish, and caught and documented in compliance with Marine Stewardship Council regulations. The Gores' spokesman, Kalee Kreider, admitted that the fish has been on the menu, but said: "The Gores absolutely agree with this humane society and the rest of the environmental community about illegally caught Chilean sea bass.

    "The problem is huge. This is unfortunate, we have been in touch with the society today. The really important thing is that people become more aware of this issue."
    "If all those sweet, young things were laid end to end, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised."

    Here's the deal. I know a lot of people aren't going to believe this but Al Gore is human. He can't lead an entirely green, environmentally friendly lifestyle, all the time. This fish he served can't be that endangered if they serve it at every other seafood restaurant in Houston. People will dig up anything they can on this guy. It's starting to get ri-goddam-diculous. What's next, he's not wearing organic cotton tighty whiteys?! Call the press!

    After your strong rebuke of Gore for serving Chilean Sea Bass, I would've expected you to play a more active role in ensuring their survival. I guess you were just using the story for political reasons. Too bad for you and the Chilean Sea Bass. :(

    They seriously expect Gore to be ominiscient?

    If he bought it legally, then its only an assumption that he knew it was 'threatened', what a load of crap, freerepublic is running with this one.

    Jesus, lay off the guy. He didn't do anything wrong. I believe he practices what he preaches far more than most people on this planet. Especially in the political world. He's trying to save the fucking world, he's not looking for political gain.
