Al Gore Leaves The Light On For Ya

Even during Earth Hour. President of the Tennessee Center For Policy Research Drew Johnson takes a Saturday drive by Al Gore’s during the time most environmentalists went dark:

I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm – right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on.

In fact, most of the windows were lit by the familiar blue-ish hue indicating that floor lamps and ceiling fixtures were off, but TV screens and computer monitors were hard at work. (In other words, his house looked the way most houses look about 1:45am when their inhabitants are distractedly watching “Cheaters” or “Chelsea Lately” reruns.)

The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.

I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees.

Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue. Al Gore couldn't even be bothered to pretend.

I got up and turned on every light inside and outside the house at 8:30 last night, much to my wife’s chagrin. She understood the principle involved and went along.

If you were perpetrating the greatest scam and con job against humanity that the world has ever seen, YOU’D LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON TOO!

I wonder if the giant houseboat was up and running......

A two candle-power brain illuminated by two candles. Fitting.

Howie Carr advises politicians (and others in public life) “never wear a hat”, especially one that can make you look goofy. Think John Kerry in the bunny suit.

Great. I turned on every light I had too.

Of course not.

Trees turn light + CO2 into O2. More light = more O2 = less CO2!

He's being helpful, dontcha know...

not sure if that works for artificial light...

Maybe the tree floodlights are actually grow lights, so he can count his trees as carbon credits 24 hours a day.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute, in the link below, offers a short video in celebration of Human Achievement, a concept they are promoting to counter the leftist-ecotard-dimwits' Earth Hour (very appropriately symbolized by "lights out" as in the superstitious Dark Ages).

Yes, his burning fossils fuels doesn’t cause global warming and his turds smell like fresh baked cinnamon muffins, ‘cause he’s just so special.

This guy didn’t get a video! The left will never believe him.

If he’d taken a video they would dispute the time stamp.

I sent the link to Drudge. Hopefully he will put it up later in the afternon.

YAWN

At this point, EVERYone knows Algoron is an opportunist hypocrite! Even his feckless supporters know it.

[cubreporter]

Are there photos of this?????

Sheez. Can't he afford a housekeeper with all of those carbon credits he is selling to the loons?
