re: #263 MandyManners

Back home in Tennessee, safely ensconced in his suburban Nashville home, Vice President Al Gore is no doubt basking in the Oscar awarded to “An Inconvenient Truth,” the documentary he inspired and in which he starred. But a local free-market think tank is trying to make that very home emblematic of what it deems Gore’s environmental hypocrisy.

FWIW, that home is also the headquarters for his non-profit. He uses it for $1000 a plate fundraising dinners and that kind of thing. Seriously, where is he supposed to hold receptions for visiting foreign dignitaries (and yes, he still gets them) the banquet room at the Holiday Inn?

Like it or not, the man is a former vice president of the United States, former US Senator, and one time presidential candidate. He needs a house fitting someone of that position for official purposes
