Bill Bradley:

Yes, we know that Gore uses his home as “a big office for his operations”. It still uses twenty times as much energy as a typical American home. Whatever “his operations” are, they apparently don’t have anything to do with reducing energy use or carbon emissions or whatever it is that Gore blathers about.

We also know that Bush is not currently living in his home. (Or, as you put it, his “home”. I guess you think he will be homeless next January.) So what? Roger cites both Cowboys & Indians Magazine and the Chicago Tribune as saying that Bush’s home uses only 25% as much energy as an average American home. Are you seriously suggesting that both publications were stupid enough to base their calculations on the Bush house’s energy consumption while it is unoccupied? I don’t find that even faintly plausible, and if you want to convince anyone that it’s true, you’ll have to present some evidence.

Oh, and by the way, including gratuitous French phrases in your comments is not very impressive when you don’t spell the French words correctly. There’s no E in “blanc”.
