Gorbal Warming

 Or Another Hypocritical Leftist

I saw this the other day, (though I don't remember where) and thought this comic is pure gold.  Because Al Gorbal warming would have you, the peasant, you the peon, you the serf, live like this, while he and the intelligentsia of the left continue to live the good life.

Of course, all of you have read about Al Gore's 10,000 sq. ft. home which used more than 20 times the national average in terms of electricity.  ABC News has the facts here.  Gore claims he buys carbon offsets to counter his gluttonous use of electricity.  

So what do carbon offsets really mean?  It means that the wealthy left can continue to live in large houses, buy big cars, fly in private jets, and live the good life because they can afford to pay for their sins, while the rest of us, who can't afford these "energy indulgences" are told by our "betters" to live in the dark, take cold showers, and freeze our asses off during the winter.

Wizbang also has some other interesting tidbits on this story.  For instance, did you know that George Bush's Texas ranch is smaller and more energy efficient than Al Gorbal's mansion?

We've found the inconvenient truth.  The intelligentsia of the left likes to live and play big. They are wasteful.  They like to tell the common folk how to live.  And they use their wealth to assuage their guilt for their excessive and hypocritical behaviors.  Of course, they don't change their behavior, they continue to sin.
