Al Gore joins Apple?s board
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
March 19th 2003
The former VP and life-long lefty returns to a 'position of power'
Apple has announced that Albert Gore Jr, the former Vice President of these United
States, has joined the company?s board of directors. Mssr Gore was elected at Apple?s
board meeting on Thursday.
?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, as a
Congressman, Senator and our 45th Vice President. Al is also an avid Mac user and does
his own video editing in Final Cut Pro,? said Steve Jobs. ?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.?
?Steve and his team have done an incredible job in making Apple once again the very
best in the world,? said former Vice President Al Gore. ?I have been particularly
impressed with the new Mac OS X operating system and the company?s commitment to the
open source movement. And I am especially looking forward to working with and learning
from the great board members who have guided this legendary company?s inspiring
resurgence.?
Welcome, Mr Gore.
Editor's note: In case you're missing the subtext here, Jobs is a life-long lefty and
obviously so is Gore. Jobs was a noted supporter of the Clinton administration (they
stayed at each others' homes) and his Steveness has also contributed 'generously' to
the Democratic Party over the years.
