Guess who is right in the middle of it.

Fisker has raised tens of millions of dollars from top venture capital
firms such as Palo Alto Investors and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers,
of which former Vice President Al Gore is a partner.

Now we are bailing out Al Gore. Anybody want to bet how much of that
$528 million is going to repay Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers?

LOL, bail out? KPC&B doesn't need any bailouts. Amongst their other
investments was $25 million for 20% of Google. What's Google's worth
now? $100 billion or so?
