So you just can't admit that hypocrisy is rampant on all sides of the spectrum?
It's only hypocrisy in its truest form when you oppose the viewpoint
of the one you're accusing of hypocrisy?

Well good for you Sam, I'm sure you've been a very good boy all your
life, clean room, brushed teeth, in bed on time--everytime, I'll bet
your parents were very proud ;-)

For my part, I was recycling before I knew who Gore was, newspaper
drives, can collection, that sort of thing, so bully for me.

dunno. don't much care. If they're already doing the conservation
thing then the message is not aimed at them.

Yeah, he "probably" kicks puppies with a General Motors Gas and
Coal-fired Electric puppy-kicker(TM), too. So much for speculation
about what the utilities usage was, the better insult if the use is
deemed frivolous and luxurious eh? What would he save from installing
compact flourescants? Do you know? Do you care? What would the savings
be if he insulated better? Care about that? Why's it got to be a pool
that the waste is coming from? Because that makes it more egregious,
right? Do you know or care if he's got a pool? If it's heated?

> What does that have to do with anything? A little distraction maybe?

To the point. You talk about hypocrisy as if it is endemic only to
Democrats or to the left. It goes both ways, my friend.

> Big distraction?

No, a "Big distraction" would have been totally ignoring your original
question and in the reply _only_ mentioning Bush and Rush. But I
spelled hypocrisy for you in relation to Gore and then pointed out
that stone throwers should not live in glass houses. Even admitted to
have a few pebbles my-own-self.
