So here is what I find strange, a couple weeks ago I wrote about how popular perception of political parties is so back ward. I.E. Republicans cause wars and Democrats are for big government but then sighted the opposites in history.Yesterday bore the same thing out. Democrats are supposed to be for the environment and green correctness. However as this story points out there where more privet jets coming and going out of Washington for this inauguration then for Bush's, as a matter of fact a few hundred more. As an aside I wonder if Gore was in one of them? So from the party of "immediate action against global warming" we have people that are so important that the carbon they produce is some how more important then the carbon you produce. I am sure they bought offsets to make it all go away and I am sure it does magically make it all better, just like sinners of old buying forgiveness from the catholic church found absolution. I think the Democrats next move is to set up Al in a big building, dress him in red silk and have him hold court inviting carbon sinners in to plead their case for reconciliation.
But beyond the green double standard their is the other assumption that democrats are funded by the little guy and care for him more then big business. But who other then big business and the rich can afford to charter a privet jet for the week? Clearly the power brokers have given a larger backing to the democrat then the Republican he replaced if privet jets where any marker.
Also the old wind back offering the prayer at the end asking his god that "white will embrace right." All I can say is F-you old man. Imagine if a white guy got up and prayed that "the black man will embrace employment." The same assumptions and generalizations used to assume that all white people are racist and need to open up go into that assumption that all black men are unemployed. Everyone had a good laugh though because he was poking fun at white. Those white guys just set themselves up for it will all their hating and Klan memberships.
I love that picture of "father Gore" holding up the eco-bulbs. Priceless. Hypocrisy has long become the standard MO in Washington DC. It seems like some of these politicians take more cues from the opposing party than they do their own.
