One of the most annoying traits of liberals is the way in which they can be acutely unaware of their own hypocrisy. And one of the reasons they’re able to get away with it is through the collusive aide of other liberals. No one epitomizes this phenomenon as much as self-anointed green czar, Al Gore.
In an A.P. article today (12/14/07) Gore is praised by the ‘U.S. Green Building Council’ for having “one of the nation’s most environmentally friendly” homes after recently making some energy-saving improvements. Even so, the 10,000 square-foot home, “remains well above regional averages,” in electricity usage (as we learn later in the article). But not to worry; according to Gore’s spokeswoman, “When the Gores' heated pool is hooked up to the system later this month, their energy use is expected to decline more.” Yes, Gore really must be applauded for setting the example for the rest of us.
So we have the complicity of the media, who largely ignored the ironic scandal of the world’s biggest energy scolder being exposed as an energy glutton himself, along with ‘green’ groups who not only ignore Gore’s high energy consumption but give him ‘gold status’ to boot.
Next thing you know they’ll be giving him the Nobel Peace Prize. Oh wait…..
