"...Gore, a Kyoto Protocol advocate, has enough socked away so he won't miss a meal should that treaty ever be adopted - and wreck the U.S. economy.
It was the fear of such damage, recall, that led the U.S. Senate - Veep Al Gore presiding - to reject Kyoto 95-0.
What a hypocrite he is.
And he's not alone.
As The Los Angeles Times reported this week, two of California's greenest pols - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. Dianne Feinstein - continue to flit around on their private Gulfstream jets.
A single cross-country flight on such an aircraft emits up to 90,000 pounds of carbon dioxide - nearly double the amount the average American produces from all activities in an entire year.
Meanwhile, Laurie David, producer of that Gore documentary, also uses private Gulfstreams - though she rebukes those driving SUVs. (She now says she's cutting back on her private jet usage - but gradually, like a smoker trying to quit.)
And so it goes.
Gore always was tiresome.
Obviously nothing has changed."
Al simply needed a new gig to keep him in the lifestyle he'd grown accustomed to. So he went from bashing Kyoto to embracing it. And from the looks of him, McDonald's as well. Shame so vapid a man gets so much press, but in his case bad press is much deserved so passing along condemnation of this idiots' scam is a good thing.
