Do As I Say.. Not As I Do
Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma was the preceding chair of the Environment and Public Works committee, until the republicans lost and liberal Barbara Boxer took the chair. Senator Inhofe asked Gore today to take the same pledge that he pushes on every other American. In effect. "I pledge to consume no more energy for use in my residence than the average American household by March 21, 2008.”
He refused.
His hypocrisy is open for all to see. We the people, the taxpayers, the simple ones, just do not understand that Gore is offsetting his footprint by buying his way out. He's got the money. His footprint is really deep too. The obesity police should check on his consumption of calories, as he is not considering the millions of poor in disadvantaged lands who could use a few of Gores calories. For the sake of the poor children, he should make that pledge, to reduce his calorie consumption with some offsets sent to Africa, and also produce time on the treadmill, with CNN watching, to show his sincerity.
Gore, it's your turn.
