There were two major examples of political hypocrisy this week:
Former Vice President Al Gore's demonstration of environmental hypocrisy by living large in a very energy inefficient home consuming over thirty thousand dollars worth of energy in utility bills each year. What happened to examining your carbon footprint and attempting to become "carbon-neutral"?
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is now claiming to be bipartisan and advising President Bush to do the same, but his form is bipartisanship is simply a method of co-opting the position of his political rivals after being significantly repudiated by the public and losing all of the major ballot initiatives he had proposed to try to go around the Democrat-led legislature. It's not bipartisan to lose all your values and sell out to the winning side - it's hypocritical pandering in an attempt to win elections when you discover that your views are unpopular.
