Venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins learns an age-old lesson: get in bed with a whore and your wallet will be missing in the morning. They brought Al Gore into the firm as a senior partner in 2007. Gore talked them into all kinds of “clean energy” investments (including Fisker Automotive, which just fired 75% of its workforce) and now the legendary venture firm admits the experience has been “humbling.”

If Kleiner Perkins needs a new partner, Jon Corzine may be available.
Did I mention they also have Colin Powell on the board? I don't think they can handle a third ignorant leech.
I wonder if anyone at the firm opposed this nonsense from the start. If so, do the still have their job in this green folly atmosphere?
Looks like these mental midgets just got scammed by an expert bullshit artist. Expect to see some heads rolling at this firm in the very near future.
Bwa hahahaha. All these highly paid intellectuals running companies into the ground when any half wit could have told them to run from these deals.
Excuse me while I laugh my ass off again. Hhahahahahahahahaha
I just read on the Internet (NYT none the less) that John Doehr is now looking for a government bailout because of his incompetence. (Last four words mine.)
If we don't get this foreign empty suit out of office soon, he's liable to get his bailout!
humbling = costs them massive quantities of moolah.
