One of the annoying attributes of global-warming scolds is their inability to practice what they preach. The US Chamber of Commerce produced a very amusing video last month explaining how much in carbon emissions the UN generated by insisting on conducting endless conferences on the issue. Today, the Los Angeles Times takes a look at the travel practices of Arnold Schwarzenegger, another booster of energy-production limits, and notices the stench of hypocrisy:
Like many of the Californians he represents, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger now spends more than three hours commuting because he lives so far from the office.
But his ride is a private jet.
After flirting briefly with buying a Sacramento abode for his family, then living alone for a while in a 2,000-square-foot hotel penthouse across from the Capitol, the governor has decided to stay nearly every night at his Brentwood mansion.
The commute costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which aides say the governor pays for himself. Some environmentalists say the trips expand his carbon footprint enough to undermine his image as a crusader against global warming, despite the pollution credits he buys to offset the damage.
Arnold has his reasons, of course. He has teen-age kids at home and he wants to be with them. That’s not possible in Sacramento, because … well, who wants to live in Sacramento, for Pete’s sake? Even though the state has a 12,000-square-foot mansion built by Ronald Reagan for California’s First Families, Arnold’s Brentwood digs are tonier and closer to the Hollywood power base he courts.The Governator chooses to fly home every night instead, commuting between Northern and Southern California. That’s his choice; he’s footing the bill for the travel. However, instead of catching regularly-scheduled commercial flights between the capital and Los Angeles, he’s traveling by private jet — a huge waste of resources and a large release of the very gases that global-warming activists such as Schwarzenegger claim are dooming the planet.
When global-warming Chicken Littles start living as though the crisis actually exists, then the rest of us will start believing it. Arnold could start by dumping the private jet and flying commercial. Even better, he could show a little sacrifice by moving into that 12,000-square-foot shack that the state has to maintain whether he’s there or not. Global warming activists want to limit our own living choices — they can start with their own.
We may have to dump the term limousine liberals. That came into vogue by describing the type of Hollywood political activist that demanded sacrifice from everyone but themselves. Given the escalation of the hypocrisy here, a better term might be private-jet progressives.

Can you spell RINO?
Wade on March 7, 2008 at 8:13 AM
Yup, just like Arrianna Huffington and Robert Kennedy Jr. with their private jets….hypocrits
jimbo2008 on March 7, 2008 at 8:14 AM
When a Dem in NY,MA or CA wants to run for office, but there’s already another Dem there, they call you a republican. It may sound like Republican, but actually it’s a homonym. Lots of people make this same mistake.
JiangxiDad on March 7, 2008 at 8:16 AM
Hey, he needs that jet so he can survey the land of his Great State Of KAH-LEE-FOUR-NYA.
pilamaye on March 7, 2008 at 8:21 AM
I agree completely with what you said about Ahnold… but they don’t seem to have an official Governor’s Mansion anymore… so there really isn’t anywhere for him to live… not that I’m excusing him gassing up a private jet and flying home to granite-face Maria,: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Governor’s_Mansion
Republican on March 7, 2008 at 8:21 AM
Do as he says, not as he does. Besides, you know the liberal elite mantra “The rules we pass pertain to the little people, certainly not us blowhards”.
Arnold is a tool for the left cloaked in a repub suit. I wish he would change his party afiliation…..we already have too many RINO turncoats.
David in ATL on March 7, 2008 at 8:22 AM

NoDonkey on March 7, 2008 at 8:28 AM
Well, I live in Sacramento, and like it just fine. There are several Brentwood-ish neighborhoods in the area if that’s what he’s looking for.
My commute is 10 miles and sometimes I ride my bike.
Bob's Kid on March 7, 2008 at 8:29 AM
Ah, return to those thrilling days of yore, when the nobility got to travel around while we serfs were tied to the land. All that’s needed is a way to dump democracy. (they are already working on making us dependent on The State for things such as health care).
Return to feudalism!
rbj on March 7, 2008 at 8:31 AM
LOL! Well Bob’s Kid. You’re just a commoner aren’t you? I’m sure it’s ok for people like you.

A true Kennedy by osmosis. I’ll do as I damned please, but not you, I’ll make laws you have to obey.
Wade on March 7, 2008 at 8:33 AM
What happens when Arnold has to jet to Sacramento and his angular wife Maria has to jet to an Obama event, that she just has to be at? Like most busy families, they are going to need a second jet. They may have to re-model the hangar though.
JiangxiDad on March 7, 2008 at 8:34 AM

Foots the bill with the contributions given to him by who?? He’s done this type of thing before where private interest groups set up funds for him to use for his expenses.
He’s nearly bankrupt this state with his social programs that were worse than what the democrats ran down people’s throats. Now, they are screaming to raise taxes.
Blake on March 7, 2008 at 8:42 AM
But not my choice if I want 100 watt incandescent bulbs, or a large car with a powerful engine?
Just more hypocrisy. My choice is fine as long as he agrees.

That wouldn’t be quite so funny if it weren’t so true.

socialistliberal fad.Catfish on March 7, 2008 at 8:48 AM
I’m a public school teacher and our district–like all CA districts–has to cut our budget 10% next year if the governor’s budget goes through.
This means getting rid of k-6 , English 9 and Algebra 1 small class size, offing various programs, you name it (I’m not sure we’re losing admin down at district, though, natch). It’s going to be brutal, and my large district has to pare millions off its budget for 08-09.
I wonder how many teachers’ salaries the fuel for that private jet would pay? Or if that’s too extreme, how ’bout an extra custodian per school? The state recently passed a law that says that school restrooms must be checked, cleaned, and restocked 3 times a day, but no extra staff to do it. I’m sure a few cutbacks at the Capitol could help out there.
At least he’s paying for his own gas.
Bob's Kid on March 7, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Global Warming, now referred to as “Climate Change” is a huge scam, intent on destroying capitalism. It is a global income redistribution plan to end capitalism. There has been only a one degree centigrade change in the oceans over the last hundred years, with no further warming for the last ten years. The U.N. should just be renamed “Hate the U.S. and everything it stands for, just keep American tax dollars rolling our way”. Move that thing to Haiti as Neal Boortz says, and put OwlBore in jail for fraud. Enough…..
adamsmith on March 7, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Arnold ought to be required by law to have a few more drinks and smoke a few more cigars with actual conservatives. Look at his lifestyle and the people he “hangs out” with. (Besides his wife, who we all know is a Kennedy-esque libtard.) If Arnie actually still chatted with conservatives now and then, he might realize exactly how far up his formerly steroid needle pricked butt his head has become lodged.
Sugar Land on March 7, 2008 at 9:00 AM
There’s still one more chip!
wepeople on March 7, 2008 at 9:03 AM
I think all this GW gloom and doom by the rich is just a false attempt to give their lives relevancy.

Can you spell RINO?
Can you spell “piece of sh*t”?

Does anybody know where I can buy some carbon credits? I farted several times this morning and I really feel guilty about it.

kcd on March 7, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Here’s a novel idea, he could quit his job in politics, and stay home with his kids.
4shoes on March 7, 2008 at 9:33 AM
The only republicans I knew who were floating that idea was one republican who was also foreign born. No one else supported it.
Blake on March 7, 2008 at 9:44 AM
Arnold is a grave disappointment but look on the bright side– he’s better than Grey Davis!
thegreatbeast on March 7, 2008 at 9:45 AM
Again, I wouldn’t be so sure of that. He was flying his private jet all over the world and paid for it from special funds by private doners (I think they’re called lobbyists.)
As to the school mess, since the state and the teacher’s union has blatantly encouraged illegal immigration, they shouldn’t be shocked when the cost comes back to haunt them.

Blake on March 7, 2008 at 9:51 AM
Not really. Granted, he’s less in the pocket of the unions. But when he had a showdown with the donks, he was the one who backed down. Fiscally, I think he has run up the deficit even more than Davis. And at least Davis was tougher on crime. A pox on both their houses!
Blake on March 7, 2008 at 9:54 AM
RINO?
I suppose the Fred Thompson supporters still think of themselves as the real Republicans?
Arnold isn’t willing to sell out his kids’ future for a little oil company funding.
The up side of being a wealthy Republican.
A real Republican.
alphie on March 7, 2008 at 9:58 AM
The jerk is cutting school funding too so my wife is about to lose her job nest fall, after being off not getting a paycheck all summer. A paycheck that would not pay some of our bills let alone our mortgage! I held my nose and voted for him but at this point I think I would have rather had Grey (Black heart) Davis!
Vntnrse on March 7, 2008 at 10:06 AM
Agreed, except:
Even if they start living like they believe, I still won’t believe.
My (admittedly crazy) theory is that there is a Giant Nuclear Furnace in the center of the solar system that is the cause of Earth’s temperature. This Giant Nuclear Furnace includes 99.8% of the mass of the entire solar system, including all the planets and moons and asteroids. That’s about 333,00 Earths. The GNF is as big as 1,300,000 Earths. The surface temperature of the GNF is about 6000 degrees Kelvin.
174 petawatts of power from this GNF are received by the Earth. All the time. That’s about 10,000 times Earth’s annual power usage, each and every SECOND.
I believe this GNF has more to do with Earth’s temperature than the amount of carbon dioxide (less than 300 ppm) in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Call me crazy.

When he signed up for the job, he didn’t know that Sacramento was the capitol, and he would be working there?
He had a choice, stay with the kids (good choice) and not run for Gov. or be a Gov. and bring the kids along.
I mean except for about 4 months of unbearable heat each year, Sacramento is almost a nice city.

That has to be a sarc posting.

I see we have the same opinion of her, but I’m guessin’ you don’t have to pay $80 a month union dues that pay for those stupid ads.
Hmmmpf.
You non-Californians don’t realize how lucky you are…
Bob's Kid on March 7, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Pretty boy Rod of Illinois (Rod Blagojevich) has the same un-seemly habit. He doesn’t want to live downstate in Springfield with the peons. Instead he lives in Chicago. He travels by air at the taxpayer’s expense. Criticism of this costly and un-green behavior is intermittent.

That’s just crazy.

Bob's Kid on March 7, 2008 at 10:25 AM
If we don’t get a ‘real’ conservative Republican in our next election I am out of here (CA). Arnie started off well but got sucked in by the liberal legislature and probably his in-laws. He’s no more Republican than McCain. Sad time for conservatives.
geminicontender on March 7, 2008 at 10:43 AM
How about “Gulfstream Greenies”?
eeyore on March 7, 2008 at 10:45 AM
Nor do I belong to a stupid union that wasted millions on political issues that had nothing to do with education. (I don’t remember what the issue was - it was a couple of years ago. I think your union even borrowed money for it.)
If it is any consolation, in the past, I have been forced to belong to other gov. unions that wasted my dues for their own political projects.
Blake on March 7, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Will they give all our money back when Global Warming [!!!] turns out to have been one more mistaken hypothesis?

I won’t believe it no matter what a bunch of wild-eyed global warmingist cult followers believe. It’s still a load of old baloney.

Sounds like a deal, profits,
As long as all the “real” Republicans in the South stop taking handouts from New York and California every time a hurricane/tornado/flood/drought forces them to ask for government help.
alphie on March 7, 2008 at 11:18 AM
Don’t forget than when Arnie hops off of his jet, he gets to jump into his uber gas-guzzling private tank
That’s so cool it’s better than carbon offsets.
dailybayonet on March 7, 2008 at 11:22 AM
Hey, now there’s a way to show some Green! Convert his tank to solar power.
eeyore on March 7, 2008 at 11:28 AM
You are crazy! Why, that is so simplistic! So obvious! You know that it is more complicated than that. Someone said earlier on this thread that they farted (so does everyone else) and they drive their vehicles all over burning fossil fuels. That is the real reason for global warming. You need to be re-educated.

Yeah, I missed the relevance of that post myself.
ihasurnominashun on March 7, 2008 at 11:34 AM
I think there’s nothing wrong with Arnold’s push for less emissions. Such regulations must be reasonable but they should become tighter and tighter with time. I understand if you don’t give a shit about penguins but you breath the air in your cities.
That being said, the guy’s gotta suck it up and move to Sacramento. It’s not that horrible a life, and it sort of comes with the job.
freevillage on March 7, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Thank God he can’t run for President. (Yet.)

Looks like the captain is calling Arnold a chickenhawk.
Should John McCain move his campaign headquarters to downtown Mosul before we take his 100 years in Iraq strategy seriously?
alphie on March 7, 2008 at 11:46 AM
I can’t believe I donated and voted for this backstabber. What a ham-necked turncoat, and now the Republican brand name is toilet paper in this state… should have left Grayhead in and had him answer for his crimes at election time.
leftnomore on March 7, 2008 at 11:57 AM
So glad I’m getting out of this f***ing state. The only thing good about California is the weather. Colorado won’t be as nice, but at least the cost of living is not crazy.
mram on March 7, 2008 at 12:15 PM
Ed, you’re too hard on Sacramento. It’s a fine city, and I like it a lot.
There are also a lot of beautiful places to live outside of Sacramento within (automobile) commuting distance.
Nessuno on March 7, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Good Cap’n - you mock Sacramento at your peril. I suggest you curb that wagging tongue, ‘fore someone cuts it off and up out.
While you freeze your ample tuckas off 11+ months a year in the Land of 10,000,000,000,000,000 Mosquitos, folks in The River City are running around in 80 degree weather 320 days a year.

Not really. He still has to get from the hanger to home on the LA freeways.

These political pigs, and I mean every damn one of them, remind me of Bolsheviks. They had their dachas on the Black Sea, and in Moscow, while the people queued for luxuries -like a little milk, bread and cheese.
In our country, the pigs are, also, rich … they are, also, Socialists and Statists … and they won’t know the price of a gallon of gas, or milk, this summer.
But, we will. Yes, we will. When we’re queuing for both.
OhEssYouCowboys on March 7, 2008 at 2:39 PM
From Brentwood to Santa Monica airport is not a bad commute at all maybe 5 minutes or so on side streets.
Too bad the governator is only a republican in name only..his horrible liberal policies are going to destroy california.
The governator is intent on bringing socialist Romneycare”universal medicine” to california.
He actually tried to shut down numerous CA. prisons and release tens of thousands of prisoners (who were unable to make bail BTW) to pay for his horrible romneycare plan.
And now since he said he wouldn’t raise taxes..he is raising “fees” drastically to the detriment of california businesses…businesses are leaving the state in large numbers because of him.
He is almost as big of a fraud and RINO as Bishop Willard Romney himself!
Thank God he is unable to run for POTUS.

You can’t get there from here, as we say in New England.
Ahnuld probably doesn’t feel like flying Southwest Airline’s old 737s. They may be the only airline flying nonstop from Sacramento to the LA area, as many other airlines only offer one or two stop flights between the two cities.
Del Dolemonte on March 7, 2008 at 5:31 PM
I forgot who said this to me, but it’s very profound. They said that when those who warn us about global warming and carbon footprints start ACTING like there is a crisis instead of just talking about there being a crisis, that is when we should worry.

Responsible, sensible people are needed so that we may return to ‘real’ standard of living.

Entelechy on March 8, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Just smile that God has drastically changed the weather to “Global Cooling” to expose what complete fools algore and his liberal lackeys are (including Arnold the RINO).
If liberals want to create a secular religion to feel good about themselves, it is an opportunity to enjoy a good laugh at them. They thought resisting the global warming scare was heresy by stupid and evil conservatives only to have their religion proven false.

And to start the conversation, can you name a single electoral cycle in the past, ohh, let’s say twenty years, that there has not been on any ballot, in the State of California, that hasn’t asked, and been granted, more funds for “the children”?
