Gore's Personal Energy Ethics Pledge Lapse

Yesterday when Al Gore returned to Capitol Hill and pontificated about global warming, he balked at taking a Personal Energy Ethics Pledge.

Republican Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma merely asked Gore to personally commit to the sort of lifestyle that he's pushing on others. Gore refused and Barbara Boxer flipped out.



Read how the lib media are covering Gore's stunning hypocrisy.

From The New York Times:

In the House, there was little debate about the underlying science; the atmosphere was more that of a college lecture hall than a legislative give-and-take. But in the Senate, James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, the ranking Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, set a pugilistic tone, challenging Mr. Gore’s analysis of the dangers of climate change from hurricanes and melting ice in Antarctica.

“It is my perspective that your global warming alarmist pronouncements are now and have always been filled with inaccuracies and misleading statements,” Mr. Inhofe said.

Beneath the carefully groomed surface of the House and Senate committees’ scripted production, a rift was evident. Republican committee leaders, including Mr. Barton in the House, and Mr. Inhofe in the Senate, seemed somewhat isolated from their rank-and-file colleagues, who appeared more receptive to Mr. Gore’s message and the scientific consensus on climate change. Even J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, the former House speaker, seemed to accept the scientific consensus.

So Inhofe took a "pugilistic tone."

He's "isolated" because he wouldn't buy into the hysterics of the alleged consensus on the environmental doomsday scenario.

And what was Gore's tone? His usual dull, boring, monotonous drone?

...Waving his finger at some 40 House members, [Gore] said, “A day will come when our children and grandchildren will look back and they’ll ask one of two questions.”

Either, he said, “they will ask: what in God’s name were they doing?” or “they may look back and say: how did they find the uncommon moral courage to rise above politics and redeem the promise of American democracy?”

Yeah, our children and grandchildren should ask: what in God's name was Gore doing by devouring massive amounts of energy, flying all over the world, living in an enormous mansion?

They may look back and say: how did Gore find the uncommon moral weakness to sink so low and be so selfish and disingenuous?

On the Senate side, Mr. Inhofe quickly hit an issue that some of Mr. Gore’s critics have sounded in recent weeks — the size and energy-consuming properties of his new home in Tennessee. Mr. Inhofe sought to exact a pledge from Mr. Gore to cut electricity use so that his home outside Nashville used no more than the average American home in a year.

This triggered a jousting match with both Mr. Gore and Senator Barbara Boxer of California, the committee chairwoman, which ended when Ms. Boxer made a tart reference to the change in power in the Senate. “You’re not making the rules,” she told Mr. Inhofe.

Mr. Gore then said he pays extra to use wind-generated electricity at the home; Mr. Inhofe took that response as a rejection of the pledge.

Boxer is such a joke with her "tart reference."

When faced with Gore's obvious hypocrisy, Boxer deflected Inhofe's challenge by yapping about Dem power.

She's as heavy-handed as Gore is heavy.

The fact is Gore is all talk -- hysterical, misleading, inaccurate talk.

And he most definitely does not walk the walk.

Why should he? There's no controlling legal authority.

Let's face it. Emperor Gore has no clothes.

(Yuck!)
