Meet Al Gore in Copenhagen for Only $1,209

If you'd like to tell Al Gore to his face that he's perpetrating the largest fraud in human history, you'll have to get to Copenhagen and fork out $1,209:

A fleeting few moments with a former vice president now goes for $1,209.

"Meet Al Gore in Copenhagen."

An official announcement from this fair Danish city says all: The former vice president is getting star treatment when he arrives with an entire swarm of green-minded gadflies for the United Nation's week-long global warming extravaganza that begins Dec. 7.

"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," notes the Danish tourism commission, which is helping Mr. Gore promote "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis," his newest book about global warming in all its alarming modalities.

"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."

How much is that in American dollars? The currency conversion says all too: 5,999 Danish kroners is equivalent to $1,209.

I'd like to see about 100 people in a row line up and tell him to his face he's a liar. I'd pay for it myself if I could.
