As soon as he parks his jet and sells his mansion, I'll start listening to him. Not only is he a huge residental energy consumer, he flies around in chartered jets instead of flying on the airlines.

John Edwards 28,000 sq foot abode ought to qualify him for a whipping by that author. All these people are rich. I'm beginning to think I'll write in Ralph Nader for President.

But that doesn't meant that smart people are buying his "carbon-offset" excuse. Hell, I'm not even giving him a pass from signing up for "green" produced energy. If you know anything at all about what that means, then you wouldn't either. Gore told us at the Oscars that polluting is a moral choice, not a political one. And the bottom line is that he's choosing a lifestyle that pollutes the planet at a much, much higher rate than 99.99% of the planet's citizens. To all who are defending Gore --- have you "evaluated your carbon footprint"? And if so, have you purchased any "carbon offsets" (which is just an indulgence tax paid to for-profit companies)? If not, <em>why </em>not? I think your honest answer to that "why not" follow up question would be very telling. Yes, Gore responded.
