Calling yourself an environmentalist when you have four kids is hypocritical in the extreme, especially when those four kids are rich, American hyperconsumers who consume 150 times the resources that third world people do.
Oh, and check out this link on snopes about his home energy usage.

Contrast that with Bush's Texas ranch:

Now, make no mistake about it, I detest George W. Bush with a fiery passion. But I wish Al Gore would be less of a hypocrite. doG knows he can afford to build an energy efficient house.
And it's not just his house. It's that Tipper had to crank out FOUR kids to get the Almighty Son, who, of course, was named Al Gore the Fourth. (The older three are girls.) The dumbass kid tried to Darwinize himself at a young age by running in front of a car. Did parental inattention play a role, since Tipper wants to censor the world for kyds? The breederific media would ever never ask that question or report on that subject. Al Gore survived, so Tipper was off the hook to produce the Spare.
Speaking of that, know who else irritates the shit out of me? John Edwards. John and his wife Elizabeth had a son and daughter. The son, Wade, died in a car accident in 1996 when he was 16. He didn't Darwinize himself. There was no alcohol or speeding involved. By all accounts, he was a decent kid. His Jeep was blown off the road by high winds and ended upside down in flames.
Elizabeth Edwards quit her job as a lawyer and immediately started doing fertility treatments for a replacement sprog, She had a girl, almost two years to the day later at age 48. She finally produced the replacement son at age 50.
I feel bad for the Edwards. I know they grief must have been awful, but the idea of making your wife go through fertility treatments to have replacement kids at age 48 is so distasteful.
Less than six years after her fertility treatments, they announced that she had breast cancer. (Note: Because we all know taking ovarian-stimulation drugs is SOOOO good for a woman's health.)
Now, she will likely die from it because it's come back and it's in her bones.
Anyway, these damn Democrats irritate me. At least Bushie didn't pressure Laura for more brats after she had a difficult pregnansty with twins. Why are Democrats so breederish? Of course, Repubs are nasty too. They don't want any women (except their own wives and daughters) to have abortions, because yanno, all other women are "sluts' who should be punished for having sex and it's a woman's lot in life to bear some man's kids and love every minute of it. And doG forbid that we have stem cell research because of "snowflake" beebehs.
Breederism crosses all political lines, unfortunately. They all make me sick.
