Gore's track record in terms of backing up his "pro-green" talk has been pretty flimsy his entire career.  I take more issue that the actual legislature, etc. that he's pushed has rarely stacked up even remotely close to the game he talks.  That movie and book he put out last year are by far the most significant environmental work that he's done, and that's kind of sad.  He is so the epitome of the "empty suit" politician, and it's really depressing that he has so much support now simply because he ran against Bush in 2000 and in a roundabout way he reminds people of Clinton's era.  It's especially laughable that he is so the poster boy of the entertainment community, given the disgusting censorship measures he and wife were trying to dump on the music industry in the 80's.

Both sides do it, Gore is just out in the spotlight at the moment.Republicans and Democrats tell us all how we should live our lives, pass laws to force us to do so then live by a completely different set of morals and laws.Both sides are absolutely corrupt.

I don't understand how being a customer of a company you help run makes you a hypocrit.  Wouldn't he be a hypocrit if he used something else, or didn't use the services the company offered?

Which must be why the Hollywood types love him so much. You're absolutely right about how legislation matters more than this personal stuff, but these stories drive home to the average American what a bunch a arrogant phonies Washington is filled with. Passing rules us little people have to deal with while they go on either ingnoring them or lining their pockets by force of law. God, I hate Washington.

And this isn't the first time Gore has pulled this shit. He gave that impassioned speech to the Dem Convention in 88 railing about the evils of cigarettes, how they killed his sister, and how the evil tobacco companies caused her death with their lies and deception. All the while he owned stock in (I think) Phillip Morris. Imus brought that shit up for 15 years after it happened, and still does every time anyone mentions Gore's name.

Gore has always made my skin crawl with his complete and utter phoniness.  Like Mojo mentioned, his assault on music lyrics in the 80's (as well as his strong anti-abortion stance as a Representative of Tennessee) just show how willing he is to use a platform for his own personal gain.  He's a man completely devoid of any integrity or ideals other than gaining wealth and power for himself.

no, here's why. one of Gore guiding principles is for every american to reduce their personal impact on the environment, or green footprint. the hypocracy comes from his disproportionately large footprint. a do as he says not as he does mentality. even if some or most comes from "greener" sources, it's still about reducing personal impact, which he doesn't seem willing to do himself.

He is a huge hypocrite, but he's even more so a liar.  He's good at making science-fiction movies and getting dumb Hollywood to believe it's fact, though.

You used an editorial to back-up your news story. Sheepy's criticism of your post was that you posted "news" from a highly-opiniontated right-wing news site.

post of the year.

Olberman went over this story the day it "broke." The orginization that "outed" has heavy ties to big oil buisness. Gores bill is so high because he uses wind power and what not. And actually is pretty low considering the amount of rooms in his house.
Funny how some people make a big thing out of nothing and make nothing out of a big thing (Bush administration mistakes).

I do see this pattern. Who cares about Al Gores electric bill? How does this come up as a valid point in the global warming debate?

It's quite different from a straight news article.On top of that the Chicago Sun-Times is owned by Sun Times Media Group (previously known as Hollinger International).  That probably sounds harmless enough, but it's controlled by Hollinger, Inc.  No big deal.  Of course the big deal is that Hollinger Inc. is controlled by Conrad Black.  Why is that important?  Well...Conrad Black is a highly controversial (read = thief) who currently has no less than 15 federal criminal charges looming against him.  The counts include fraud, money laundering, racketeering, etc.  He's a helluva guy.  In the end, one of the most important things you can do when consuming media is to understand where it is coming from.  The ownership groups fucking matter alot.  They mostly control the tone of the message and they only employ their point of view.

Here's a question for you guys who are all up in arms about how much energy Gore's house uses and that Obama has a Muslim name and that Edwards was a dreaded "trial lawyer": does this even bother you at all:<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/04/AR2007030401321_pf.html" target="_blank">No U.S. Backup Strategy For Iraq</a> Outside Experts, Not White House, Discuss OptionsBy Karen DeYoung and Thomas E. Ricks Washington Post Staff Writers Monday, March 5, 2007; A01 During a White House meeting last week, a group of governors asked President Bush and Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about their backup plan for Iraq. What would the administration do if its new strategy didn't work?The conclusion they took away, the governors later said, was that there is no Plan B. "I'm a Marine," Pace told them, "and Marines don't talk about failure. They talk about victory."Pace had a simple way of summarizing the administration's position, Gov. Phil Bredesen (D-Tenn.) recalled. "Plan B was to make Plan A work."In the weeks since Bush announced the new plan for Iraq -- including an increase of 21,500 U.S. combat troops, additional reconstruction assistance and stepped-up pressure on the Iraqi government -- senior officials have rebuffed questions about other options in the event of failure. Eager to appear resolute and reluctant to provide fodder for skeptics, they have responded with a mix of optimism and evasion.Why shouldn't you have to prove to us that you've learned your lesson and you're not going to vote for another guy who will lie us into another destructive war and lose it costing thousands of American soldiers in the process, and then defend him with everything you've got until it's undeniable that he's seriously damaged our country? Why don't you prove to me that you've learned something?

Why don't you prove to me that you've learned something?One of the things that cracks me up about the right-wingers is how they will take the next GOP candidate's "fiscal responsibility" claim seriously.Just like they did when Reaganomics not only failed to balance the budget in 2 years, it led to the largest deficit to date and the first double-digit unemployment since the Depression.They then went on to shatter that record-sized deficit several times in the Reagan,  Bush 41 and Bush 43 administrations.   They have thus earned themselves sobriquets like "glassy-eyed zombies" for their easy gullibility.George C. Scott had a fine time with them in the movie, The Flim-Flam Man.
