My little 30 mpg Saturn burns more than two gallons an hour going down the highway.

For maximum fuel savings, I think Obama should give “Big Al” a personal demo of how to check the air in the tires of the BS-One.

Two gallons an hour to push a 100 ft houseboat?

Does anyone really believe this?

I thought exactly the same thing. I doubt you could allow those engines to idle for an hour and ONLY consume two gallons.

Gore can expect to use about two gallons an hour to cruise Center Hill Lake.

f the Girls Gone Wild people fill that thing with drunk topless screaming co-eds do they get a carbon offset?

You’ll have to ask John Kerry.

Maybe Gore can get Sean Penn to bail with a cup in case Conspicuous Consumption R Us bogs down when Al climbs aboard.

Good one, landlines. (It took me a second, but the wait was worth the chuckle.)

If it were Clinton’s boat, they could call it

“The Offshore Drilling Platform”

So, does he own shares in the company that makes the house-boat? And he better not invite Bill Clinton aboard–they’d be liable to get blown ashore.

This isn’t conspicuous consumption, it’s gratuitous consumption, which I’m normally happy to bless in my role as a capitalist stooge but which seems self-defeating for a guy whose life’s work now is convincing people to cut back in the interests of defeating climate change.

Finally a legitimate point on the subject.

Bwaaaahhhhahahahahaha!

What a hilarious clown this guy is. Jimmy Swaggart’s got nothing on Fat Al – he’ll be bitter jealous when he reads that Al bought the carbon offset indulgences from himself…

is it Bad to be Carbon Positive and Good to be Carbon Negative.. or the other way around..

Maybe he could call it the SS Whale Watch. Who wouldn't love to catch sight of Fat Al going down the boat's slide?

Ahoy: maybe somebody already asked this, but, if Al’s so concerned about carbon emissions, why didn’t he buy a sailboat?

Think of how many trees he could have had planted instead of buying that yacht…hypocrite.

Don’t forget all the eevil pollution created during the eeevil manufacture of this boat.

Gore from April, 2006:

"This is really not a political issue, it is disguised as a political issue,” Gore said. “It is a moral issue, it is an ethical issue — If we allow this to happen, we will destroy the habitability of the planet.

Then he buys a boat. With multiple engines. Gore defines himself as immoral and unethical and doesn’t care if the planet is destroyed, or even he doesn’t believe a word he says. jaime on August 6, 2008 at 2:51 PM BINGO !! You win the thread Sir, hands down. But this is much more serious than Gore being just another elitist environmentalist hypocritical jerk. If Gore gets his way, America is screwed, our economy will roll over and die, people will lose their life savings, homes and jobs. Al Gore is much worse than a greedy socialist con-artist, he's a very evil and dangerous man.

That’s not what I would get.

Did he name the boat “BLOW ME”?
