Gluttonous Al Gore

Al Gore's global warming hypocrisy was news yesterday. He was exposed for the fraud that he is.

The lib media, naturally, have come to his defense.

I suppose the supporters of the gluttonous Al Gore buy his blather about leading a "carbon-neutral lifestyle."

Although he's responsible for massive carbon emissions, he claims that he balances that by purchasing "enough energy from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and methane gas to balance 100 percent of his electricity costs."

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said, "To balance out other carbon emissions, the Gores invest money in projects to reduce energy consumption."

This "carbon-neutral" line is a lame attempt by Gore to excuse his inexcusably exorbitant energy use and the inordinate strain that he's putting on the planet's resources.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Al Gore, a leading voice against global warming, is being criticized by a conservative group that claims his Nashville mansion uses too much electricity. A Gore spokeswoman said the former vice president invests in enough renewable energy to make up for the home's power consumption.

Notice that AP states a "conservative" group is making claims about Gore's energy consumption.

AP sets up the Right-wing conspiracy scenario, the politics of personal destruction.

That's ridiculous.

LOOK AT GORE'S ELECTRIC BILL.

...Utility records show the Gore family paid an average monthly electric bill of about $1,200 last year for its 10,000-square-foot home.

The Gores used about 191,000 kilowatt hours in 2006, according to bills reviewed by The Associated Press. The typical Nashville household uses about 15,600 kilowatt-hours per year.

The group said that Gore used nearly 221,000 kilowatt hours last year and that his average monthly electric bill was $1,359. Johnson said his group got its figures from Nashville Electric Service.

But company spokeswoman Laurie Parker said the utility never got a request from the policy center and never gave it any information.

OOOOOOOOOhh! The evil group, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research is lying about Gore.

The AP's own examination of records reveals that Gore's energy consumption is astronomical.

Instead of a $1,359 average monthly bill, the AP says its $1,200.

Who cares?

It's still enormous.

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said: "Sometimes when people don't like the message, in this case that global warming is real, it's convenient to attack the messenger."

See?

It's a personal attack.

BS.

Gore's energy use is mind-boggling. The numbers, the AP's numbers, speak for themselves.

It's not about convenience to attack the messenger.

It's about Gore crying that the sky is falling, lecturing us about changing our lifestyles, when he's one of the worst offenders.

And what's with this "carbon-neutral" crap?

In effect, Gore argues that while he's destroying the planet, he makes up for it by doing something that is more earth-friendly to balance the damage that he's doing.

That's like Bill Clinton rationalizing that although he's having sex with Monica Lewsinsky, it's acceptable because he balances that out by having sex with Hillary. He has an adultery-neutral lifestyle.

OK, that's a creepy example; but you get my point.

If Gore was serious about his cause, then why the hell is he doing so much damage?

He has three homes! One is a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom place.

A tad excessive, don't you think?

Gore made up this ridiculous "carbon-neutral" claim as cover for his self-indulgent, eco-destructive lifestyle.

This "I pollute but then I do something to offset it" stance is just plain stupid.

Wouldn't it be better to cut back on the excess and do better than "carbon-neutral"?

Of course, it would.

Gore has his cake and he eats it, too.

And from the looks of him, he's been eating a lot of cake.
