Fat Gore Fly in the Google Ointment?
Does Al Gore's position on Google's senior advisory board have any bearing?
In Al's bio at http://www.algore.com/about.html he says:A member of the Board of Directors of Apple Computer, Inc. and a Senior Advisor to Google, Inc. Gore is also Visiting Professor at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
It seems he has done some "advising" of Google's search quality in the past. Here's a story from the New Yorker via Newsbusters about that very subject. There is some history there that has some bearing on the current situation.
In the case of "Climategate", Mr. Gore's ability to continue his current speaking engagements might be hampered. Thus, there could well be a motive for him doing some "advising" in this case. A phone call might be all it took. -- Google trends on "climategate" show public interest increasing -- but troubling questions loom @ Watts Up With That?

Ooops. I'll fix that. I hope.
Better? There's often a formatting problem between different blog engines and how they treat high ascii values.
