Capt. Al Bore’s Shiny New Boat

August 20, 2009 at 7:57 pm

Not content with flying half way around the world to conferences in his private jet just to lecture us for leaving that little red light on the front of the TV on overnight and killing 32 polar bears an hour, Al Bore has plumbed new depths of hypocrisy.

Not content with profiting both directly and indirectly from the global warming lie, he rubs it in our pauper faces with purchases such as….this new boat.

From pajamasmedia: It happens in the air, where he jets about in private planes that consume massive amounts of energy to spread his message of “conservation.”

His hypocrisy is revealed on land, where he travels in fleets of limos and SUVs to deliver speeches about the dire consequences of ignoring “man-made global warming” — and leaves the cars running throughout his entire speech in order to ensure that they will be nice and cool when he exits the building and returns to his gas-guzzling vehicles.

His supposedly “green” mansion consumes electricity that dwarfs the consumption of the typical family home.

And now, in order to complete his hypocrisy trifecta, Al Gore may now be extending his excessive consumption to the water as well. In an amazing display of conspicuous consumption, even for Al Gore, his new 100-foot houseboat that docks at the Hurricane Marina in Smithville, Tennessee is creating a critical buzz among many of his former congressional constituents. Dubbed “Bio-Solar One,” which may reflect some latent Air Force One envy, Gore has proudly strutted the small-town dock claiming that his monstrous houseboat is environmentally friendly. (Only Al Gore would name his boat B.S. One and not get the joke. Or perhaps the joke is on us?)

Read the whole article. It’s well written, and amusing yet infuriating at the same time. And this bloke could have been leader of the free world. Sheesh.
