Do as I say, not as I do

From a story on the internet: “Al Gore’s house burns carbon like you wouldn't believe. Nashville Electric Service records show that Gore Hall consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year. To be specific: the Department of Energy says the average American consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours per year. In 2006, Gore consumed some 221,000 kilowatts hours. That's more than 20 times the national average. Of course, in his Academy Award-winning film, Mr. Global Warming told Americans to cut down on their consumption of electricity. So when some folks found him in that enormous house, they thought they detected hypocrisy.” This should not surprise anybody – he is a politician after all. He will NEVER lead by example. What does the young woman on the left have to do with any of this? Absolutely nothing.
