jfern absolutely has a point.  I don't know whether to trust this group, but if this is accurate, it's quite weird.

If it is inaccurate, how come the Gore team hasn't denounced this report's accuracy?

Yes, I suppose that's another good point.

A person cannot 1) have access to speach in a capitalist society and 2) utilize the same amount of resources as a commoner.  People who can speak publicly are not of the class from which averages are made.

Thus, in our political system, any of the ruling class that do not toe the fascist line are of necessity 'hypocritical'.  Thus, anything one hears from the left is 'hypocritical'.  FDR was a hypocrite too.

Still, quiet a bit less brutal than the other side, you'll have to admit.

I think Gore could do more to personally combat global warming sure.  No reason for anyone to live in such a large home.  That said he has done a ton.  He spends what like twice as much as he otherwise would have to make sure he buys carbon free energy?  I wish I had that option here =(.  Plus he buys carbon offsets to be carbon neutral.  He clearly isn't perfect but then if he was perfect energy wise the same people would be making fun of him for living in a one room shack and using his yard for graywater.

Gore should live as efficiently as he can, being a celebrity and multi-millionaire with as much activity as him.

Fascinating -you wouldn't mind me asking where exactly you got this information? 

from the Bush/Cheney owned USAToday

Looks like the AP had a hand in the reporting:

Well at least you admit the press is right-wing, jmfcst.
