10 Examples of Liberal Hypocrisy
10. Al Gore’s Carbon Footprint
Few politicians are ever tied as much to a single issue than Al Gore is to environmentalism. He has crisscrossed the country countless times and made more than a few trips abroad to tell everyone else about how they need to limit their power consumption, have low-flow toilets, pick a certain type of light bulb, and pay high taxes for energy use. Not surprisingly, Gore doesn’t even come remotely close to practicing what he preaches. At one point, he used more than double the power that the average American household uses over the course of a year in a single month in his mansion. In fact, he shelled out almost $30,000 for electric and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006. It looks like energy conservation isn’t for everyone.
