AlGore/Arianna Huffington SUV-Gate HYPOCRISY expose' expands to major Talk Radio (FR exclusive)
Mr. KABC website, KABC.com, ^ | 9/16/05 | Mr. KABC, others

Posted on 09/17/2005 8:39:43 AM PDT by The Spirit Of Allegiance

Green pacifict geeks should do as hypocrite high-rollers AlGore and Arianna say, not as they do. Both were in San Franciso last weekend at a Green vehicle event pitching hybrid cars (gas/electric combination) yet both were chauffered in BIG GAS-GUZZLING, GLOBAL-WARMING SUVs. They really stepped in this one and DFU has documented it well--and got the word out to MANY talk shows in addition to Mr. KABC including Tony Snow, Mark Levin, Michael Graham, Melanie Morgan, Roger Hedgecock and Al Rantel. And, a major syndicated Conservative columnist has responded to DFU's email and is trying to get some answers from the Sierra Club.

In an effort to really turn up the 'global warming' heat on Arianna, DFU also posted the information directly to her blog The Huffington Post, which as of this posting is still there, at http://www.ariannaonline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=381471#post381471

Roy Sekoff, editor of The Huffington Post, in an email to Mr. KABC, has admitted the photo in the SUV is indeed Arianna--but blamed the incident on the the SIERRA CLUB, which sent the vehicle for her. Hmmmm. Is the Sierra Club an evil conspirator with the VRWC in global warming? Arianna has refused repeated requests to come on Mr. KABC and tell her side of the story. A reasonable explanation would be that they forced her into the SUV at gunpoint but this probably was not the case and no kidnapping charges have been filed, to DFU's knowledge.

DFU was on Mr. KABC about 20 minutes Friday night, and the info below is on Mr. KABC's home page--so we can be certain that many thousands of people know about this and can add to the discomfort of the hypocrites.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Photo and excerpts from MR. KABC's home page (articles have links to her sourced quotes):

"Is there a law in this country against driving an SUV to The Sierra Club Convention?
I think it was said that Arianna and Algore's Yugos were in the shop for maintenance at the time."

...
1.) Al gore is too fat to fit into a Yugo

2.) All the hot air from both Gore and HUFFingTON require sufficient air ventilation so the driver won't pass out.

First of all Gore INVENTED the SUV and he was merely taking it out for a trial drive using the GAS bag Huffington for fuel efficiency.
