Krugman and the NYT?? That's like a right-winger quoting FOX or Rush!
Regarding Mr. Gore, I'll bring us back to one of our perenniel themes at cc.com. I'll point out that we just had a nice long thread about our toe-tapping congressman, where are you lefties pontificated about how you were not bothered by the fact that the guy is a closet gay, or that he has public sex, no, no, no. His cardinal sin is HYPOCRISY. He opposed gay rights legislation, he engaged in "anti-gay" rhetoric, but now proves to be gay. This hypocrisy is unforgivable and you belabored the point to death.
Well, guess what my friends, Al Gore is a far bigger hypocrite than Larry Craig - pontificating about the global crisis, carbon footprint, and receding glaciers while he lives a profligate lifestyle. So, he must be judged by the same standards committing the cardinal sin of hypocrisy.
Right? Be careful in your answer, for if you say "no", then YOU are a hypocrite as well - saying one thing in one circumstance while saying the opposite in another.
