I commented twice on Rus Thompson’s blog after he posted a report by Tennessee Center for Policy Research:

I think the only hypocrisy is the target on Al Gore in this “research”. I wonder if the Tennessee Center for Policy Research expanded its study to more than just Al Gore’s little crib. His estate isn’t like my 4 bedroom flat in the city. Of course it’s going to use more energy than the average household. I’d like to see an energy study of the Governor’s Club in Tennessee.

Rus, lets say Al Gore sells his estate for something a little more “greener”. The new owners of his estate will be using the same amount of enery as the study claims the Gore family did. Using the claims of the average American households makes the “reseach” unbalanced. I think a comparison of his previous address at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. would show he’s living in an environmentally friendly house.

I see the North Buffalo Journal & Review has the same study posted.

The reason for targeting the Vice President’s energy usage is because the righties are afraid Al Gore will take another run at the White House. Yikes! Let the slander begin before any announcements are made.
