Spokeswoman for Al Gore Does Not Dispute Electric Bills

In truth, most Republicans don't care about his energy bill. He pays for it. It's his smarmy condescension toward everyone else that makes people point out his hypocrisy.

I sort of dig the left wing defense though; "But he has a 25,000 squ. foot house - of course he has a huge electric bill." ha ha

So we're supposed to mitigate our existence but environmental royalty gets to have a 25K foot house? I haven't felt this warmly egalitarian since reading about the old USSR.

Hey, hot environmental chicks - my house is only 4200 squ feet, so I am 6X as environmentally conscious as Al Gore. Now get over here and bake me a pie.

I know the swiftboating works but really eventually it could back fire, especially when you drone on and on about something no one really cares about. I am glad you want to see Al actually remove carbon from the air, i would like to see him do both remove it and use less. But his carbon offsets and credits actually fund programs like carbon sequestation.
Seriously I know the swiftboating works, but i think you have to have a real issue, things like obama smoking or gores electic bills make you look really really bad.
And I really could care less if al gore burns oil to heat his yard, I dont care if al gore has a methane generator just to put methane in our atmosphere. I dont care if al gore did invent the internet. Not one of those things reduce the threat of gloabl warming.... unlike carbon credits that do.

actually I think 20 rooms is kind of small.

i agree.. the dick's house has 33 rooms and uses 8.5 time the power.

Could we please let this non-issue die already? I think we've all heard enough.

A couple yewars ago, Ann Huffington made a big deal about how we peons should be using less energy, and become more environmentally concious. That is, until it was made known that she owns 2-3 humongous houses, is flown in a private jet, owns several SUVs, etc., etc.

Seems these airheaded liberals wants the rest of us to use less so they can live their grand lifestyle, completed unabated with such folishness as saving energy, etc.

To these liberals, just say no!

Great post, Huck!!!!

Thanks you, Mr. Fynn. By the way, I think Al Gore is a @!$%#head looking for a Sear's catalog.

Huck, I couldnt agree with you more!

And why does Gore think that buying some "green gas" credits is going to discount his excessive use of natural resources? At the very least, he should be standing at the border preventing those mexicans from coming north, and placing greater stress on the environment of the U.S. You'd thnk Gore would eventually come up with something useful to do with his life.

of course, there is global warming---or else the northern part of North America would still be covered by ice.

The real question is whether or not industrial "man" is all of a sudden responsible for something which has been occurring naturally for millions of years...in a continual long term trend.

And, a secondary question, of course, is whether the invention of "carbon credits" (naturally penalizing some and rewarding others) is something worthwhile or something that promotes economic efficiency.

And, thirdly, does a snake oil salesman (who previously claimed to invent the internet) and currently owns a carbon credit company have any creditability???

Personally, I will wait for a balanced panel of true scientists to debate the issue before deciding anything..
