Crush Liberalism

New terminology, thanks to Gore

Thanks to Tigerhawk for borrowing one of the left’s mindless terms and making it into a more appropriate term in today’s political lexicon:

There righty sphere is in gut-grabbing chortle mode over the revelation that one of Al Gore’s three luxurious houses uses more energy (via Glenn and everybody else) in a month than the average household does in a year. Gore, apparently, is a chickengreen, calling on others to make sacrifices he won’t make.

The most interesting thing about this is that at least some leading conservatives go on quietly conserving without demanding that everybody else do the same. Bill Frist is the rich, retired Senator from Tennessee with the green house, and Wizbang compares the household efficiency and carbon loadiness of Al Gore and George W. Bush, respectively.

Americans — at least those who do not suck up to the Hollywood nobility — can smell a phony a mile away. They will only start listening to these guys about the sacrifices they should make when they walk past them in the first class sections of regularly scheduled commercial flights. Until then, they have less credibility than a carnival barker.

Chickengreens…how appropriate!
