Gore also believes he keeps his trim figure by consuming ice cream in the middle of the night. There's scientific consensus that there's absolutely no calories in ice cream if nobody sees you eat it.

"I feel like having a Guinness..."

I propose a beer offset. I will make the great sacrifice...I will drink extra beer for those of you who don't drink. Just send my comp...oops, THE company a check and I'll drink your beer so you don't put on weight or become an alcoholic.

Hilariously nails AlGore

Talk about low hanging fruit! Al Gore paints a bullseye on his chest and the LSM hold fire, leaving the field free for Mark Steyn and the blogosphere.

That 221,000 kilowatt-hours might suggest that, if this is the ecological Holocaust, Gore's pad is Auschwitz.

Bump.

"Next thing you know, the liberals will be selling "murder offsets."

If they do, good ol' Teddy Kennedy will be first in line demanding a retro for MaryJo.

Yes, Al Gore has found something that will cure us of all our ills - like a snake oil salesman. It's the biggest scam going...

Neither does Hollywood for worshipping at his feet.

Or how about the speeding offset? "Well Officer, yes, I was going 30 miles an hour over the limit, but those two cars over there were both going 15 mph under" ....

Makes perfect sense to me.

"So Al can buy his carbon offsets from himself. Better yet, he can buy them with the money he gets from his long-time relationship with Occidental Petroleum......."

Armand Hammer, the founder of Occidental, Communist sympathizer, etc., was quoted as having Al Gore Sr. "In his pocket."

Fat Albert junior has monthly mineral rights payments by Occidental for his Tennessee mansion lands. Fat Albert also spearheaded the sale of the US strategic oil reserve at Elk Hills California to Occidental, realizing millions in profit on his holdings of Occidental stocks.

It just doesn't end with this fat fake of a slimeball.

The Eco-Messiah sternly talks up the old Nazi comparisons: What we're facing is an "ecological Holocaust, and "the evidence of an ecological Kristallnacht is as clear as the sound of glass shattering in Berlin."

If it weren't for the fact that Steyn absolutely nails Algore to the wall with the rest of the column, I'd be nauseous just from this one quote...

Al: You buy carbon offsets? Where's the proof Al? If a Republican was in his position, the press would demand a tour of the house to see for themselves the compact florescent lamps and other eco-friendly devices, they would demand to see the paperwork on the purchases the "carbon traders" make, then make sure they were made. But, because this is Al Gore, they give him a pass.

Has anybody done a study to see if all the "Green Power" being purchased by a surcharge on their electric bills is even being generated?

I don't think hydropower should be counted because after the initial construction is paid off, the power is effectively free. The power company load dispatchers call it "Pennies from Heaven".

I'm still waiting for my share of the dough from the carbon offsets purchase. If he's buying someone elses unused carbon footprint, shouldn't they be the one getting paid for it? Glenn Beck was right, it's all about global socialism, and the only thing green is the money that is being transferred from the wealthy nations to poorer nations.
