Like I've said before, I feel like the gay guy in hot pants that just walked into a country western bar in El Paso....
OK, so you don't like Al Gore. Well, the good news is that there's definitely a few things not to like about him. The bad news is that he's a total boy scout compared to the average US politician. If you think he's corrupt and self interested, then DC is about as corrupt as Beijing or Bogota, or worse.

So if you are rich you can abuse resources and that is ok?Snooping around and found this... snopes.com: Al Gore's Energy Use
It is certainly a valid point that someone who is dedicating so much time to a cause should partake in that very cause themselves. However, you do have to look at this situation objectively. The "average" American home that everyone is comparing Al Gore's home to belongs to a family that is much, much lower on the financial totem pole. So is Al Gore supposed to live like he makes $40,000 a year even though he makes much more? Or is he automatically precluded from the debate because he's in that lifestyle sector?
It just so happens that given the situation he is in (just like everyone else in his financial category), he is actually "walking the walk" according to what Snopes has found. He could choose to do nothing and go on living like anyone else who does nothing about their "carbon footprint". However, he has actually done something and continues to do so.
