$500.00 a month to heat his swimming pool.

Champagne, caviar and carbon are for the mega rich and elite.

This is the first time I've heard about President Bush's ecologically friendly home.

[Always Right]

Another funny thing, these so-callrd carbon credits are bought off a company Gore owns.

Instead of getting an Oscar Sunday night, he should have been laughed off the stage.

Instead the fools in the audience smiled and nodded their agreement as Rev Al spouted the Gospel of Gia.

People get the leaders they deserve and these people got Al. What fools these mortals be!

[melsec]

Big Al's carbon footprint is the size of Texas ... no sorry that is his arse!

[Dallas59]

Screw Gore before he and his rich Rat friends screw us...

[syriacus]

Luckily for Al (The Macabre Baron) Gore, Tennessee has warmed over the millennia.

If it weren't for previous global warming, Tennessee would be much cooler and families like Gore's would be living in caves and hunting mastodon. (Description of Tennessee life, 11,000 years ago,taken from the Tennessee State History web pages)

should awaken the American people to the fact that they are being had by Mr. Gore and his fellow global warming fanatic

Ohhh I get it - the re going to tax us for being alive.

Global Warming Ping!

Does anyone actually know what a “carbon footprint” is, and does anyone care?

(No, I’m not being nasty. I’m really just sitting here laughing to myself.)

Funny that no one talks about the drivel that is the second part of Bob Sullivan's story.

From the Tribune story:

This is President George W. Bush's "Texas White House" outside the small town of Crawford.

Yes, the same George W. who believes arsenic and drinking water might not be such a bad combo, the same man who reneged on his campaign promise to lower carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, the same man who is doing everything in his power to fling open the Alaskan Natural Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.

How does the President reconcile an eco-friendly abode for his own family with his persistent stand against anything that smacks of an environmentally friendly agenda for the nation as a whole? The answer to that perplexing question is a real mystery. Perhaps sound ecological practices are only for those who can afford them: as a self-proclaimed strict constructionist of the U.S. Constitution, Bush must be aware that clean air and clean water are not guaranteed in that glorious document. Perhaps in Bush's Brave New Corporate World, clean natural resources are merely commodities in a free-market economy: if you can pay for them, fine; if not, tough. The rest of us will just have to put up with more toxic dumps and more public lands being turned over to logging, mining and oil companies.

According to David Heymann, the house's architect and associate dean of the University of Texas architecture department, Heymann designed the house so that "every room has a relationship with something in the landscape that's different from the room next door. Each of the rooms feels like a slightly different place."

In a USA Today interview, Heymann said, "There's a great grove of oak trees to the west that protects it from the late afternoon sun. Then there is a view out to the north looking at hills, and to the east out over a lake, and the view to the south . . . out to beautiful hills."

I suppose in George W.'s architectural world only the rich and powerful have views; vistas that the public owns as part of its shared heritage are up for lease and sale.

Heymann also termed the house "stunningly small." Really? Would it be stunningly small for a single mother in South Central Los Angeles? How stunningly small would it be for an immigrant Latino family in San Antonio Maybe in the rarified heights where second homes are the norm, 4,000 square feet is small and on a stunning scale as well, but in Main Street America that much elbow room is pretty big for the first and only home.

But then most of us can't reconcile what might at first glance appear to be inherently irreconcilable. Maybe some day, like our noble president, we will be able to make that kind of staggering mental feat. That is, if we ever stop misunderestimating ourselves.

Rob Sullivan is a freelance writer based in Los Angeles.

What complete moron. Chastizing Bush for being ecologically friendly because he's got money?

[libs_kma]

Some lefty wrote an article yesterday that said Conservatives just don't understand the concept of buying carbon credits.

I think we understand it just fine. We understand that it's a big crock of shiite.

[SkyPilot]

"You may be surprised by how much CO2 you are emitting each year,”

I find this so laughable for a myriad of reasons.

The main one is this:

- Back in the days when Gore and Tipper would ride around on Air Force 2, the 89th Special Airlift Missions (SAM) folks at Andrews AFB had a little nickname of Albert.

Stinky

Gore, you see, was known for being very, very, very flatulent. Deadly flatulent. Awful, nose burning, eyes watering terrible gas. I know this because I knew several of the pilots and also other members of the aircrew.

They all said the same thing - Al Gore was the worst gas passer in history.

Since that air had to be released to the upper atmosphere via the bleed air circulation system of the aircraft, I guess we say his methane emission contributed to ozone depletion and helped increase Global Warming.

By the way, the whole "Global Warming" religion is pure paganism. It is a religion to these moonbats who don't know the real God.

"They have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."

Romans 1:25

"...he just buys carbon credits and goes on his merry way spewing pollution in all directions."

He's making a boat-load of money, too. You forgot that.

Isn't hypocrisy the very essense of the Leftist and Hollywood elite?

[Nachoman]

I bet Gore has illegal 5 gallon toilets in his house as well.

[BuffaloJack]

It's a good bet that Mr. Bush understands that Global Warming is a socialist agenda thing. Mr. Bush's ecologically friendly living style makes sense, because it costs him less to run. Any time you can save a buck it benefits you. Unlike the liberals philosophy where anytime you save a buck they want it.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

When the communists get into power they split society into 2 classes: the elite who have everything that they want and don't have to follow the rules, and the ordinary common herd which has nothing, is oppressed, put down, and has to obey the rules or face prison.
Gore is part of the elite.
