Group: Gore a hypocrite over power bill

Al Gore, a leading voice in the fight against global warming, is being called a hypocrite by a conservative group that claims his Nashville mansion uses too much electricity. But a spokeswoman for Gore said the former vice president invests in enough renewable energy to make up for the home's power consumption.

The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research put out a news release saying Gore was not doing enough to reduce his own consumption of electricity.

yes, the story now carries gore's response, but, considering it was never "NEWS" in the first goddam place, i'd like to know why, as of wednesday, 3:50 p.m. est, it still is being carried in the top 7 yahoo news stories, particularly with such a sensationalist and misleading headline...



and, oh yeah, it also doesn't bother to mention keith olbermann's excellent debunking...



if the democrats had organizations around the country working 24/7 on new, sensational, and largely vacuous ways to smear national republican figures, i would bet, along with atrios, they wouldn't have 1/100th the media exposure...
