LAGOS, Nigeria (Reuters) - Former Vice President Al Gore told a Nigerian audience on Thursday that he now runs a family restaurant in Tennessee.

Gore narrowly lost the 2000 U.S. presidential election to Republican George W. Bush.

``This has been a time of transition for me and it hasn't been easy,'' Gore told an audience at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs.

``For example, there are usually a lot of cars on the road. Now it takes a lot longer to get around, and given that I haven't driven for eight years, I'm not sure it's wise (to drive),'' said Gore, who was driven in a limousine while he was vice president.

He also told the capacity audience that he had started the new family enterprise in his home state.

``We have started a family restaurant in Tennessee and we are running it ourselves. It is a low-cost restaurant,'' he said. ``I am also a visiting professor or VP for short.''

Spokesmen in the United States were not immediately available to provide further details.

Gore, who became a vice chairman for U.S. investment firm Metropolitan West Financial Inc earlier this month, said playing with his grandchildren has become another priority since leaving office.

Al Gore is hip! He's got a beard now!

I hope he has fun trying to control his customers' lives instead of mine.

He'll be out of business after customers in the drive through get fed up with him recounting their change for 3 hours.

AlGore invented beards!

I think he grew that pitiful beard to try to get into that afgani group,but they laughed him out too.

LOL Osama Bin Gore!!!  Sure wish I had photoshop skills...

[:D]

Any meat items on the menu???  I'm sure the PETA crowd will love this.

How about doing some SS detail for this guy, hanging out in the restaurant, check out every customer.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just lock Gore up in a mental institution?

His chances of being renominated are slim now. Daschle and others are already ponying up for that honor.  

Its a BIG LIE! Hes not running a restaurant. The O'Rielly factor checked it out- its just not true.
Hes just a lying POS like his boss.

captainpooby be correct.
Reuters screwed up big time !
The whole deal ain't true.

He grew that beard so that the terrorists wouldn't mistake him for an American.

I wonder if Al needs a pommes frites chef at his restaurant?

Naw, he's looking for a french fry cook.

He invented the burger.

Sounds like he is still dising out his fav, BULL$%^&.  The man lies worse than a cheap toupe.  He has had more interesting jobs than any liar that i know.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!Sometimes I feel like I oughta' pay admission to read this stuff.  

Maybe Al Gore "is" Osama Ben Laden......maybe the cooks are making anbthrax in the back room next to the collard greens!!!

Democrats are the biggest hipocrites. They cheat in elections(voting 2 and 3 times), steal hard-working Americans money and re-distrubute it to the insurgents and the scum of the earth, and finally after soliciting votes to save the earth and the animals, Al Gore has the nerve to work in a dead animal, red meat eating burger joint. Typical leftist, socialist, demon-crat action !
