Al Gore joins Apple

Apple Computer on Wednesday named former Vice President Al Gore to its board of directors.
In a statement, CEO Steve Jobs noted that Gore is an avid Mac user who edits his own videos using Final Cut Pro. However, Gore's support of the Mac has not been unwavering, with the politician having said three years ago that he had switched from a Mac to a PC. Gore was chosen as a director at a meeting of Apple's board earlier Wednesday.

"Al brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and wisdom to Apple from having helped run the largest organization in the world--the United States government," Jobs said. "Al is going to be a terrific director, and we're excited and honored that he has chosen Apple as his first private sector board to serve on."

If he can do anything half as innovative as his invention of the internet, Apple will be rolling in it.

Why Apple Shouldn't Vote for Gore

The failed Presidential contender is a business novice whose board nomination raises more questions about Apple's governance

Damn man don't say this will end in controversy also. For such a boring guy, he sure stirs up trouble.

He should just get his own show and become the new Dr. Ruth (for his obvious seduction abilities)..
