The Democrats' Biggest Challenge

It is that so many of their highest-profile leaders are such unbelievably transparent lying idiots.

He said he was "carbon neutral" himself and he tried to offset any plane flight or car journey by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere".

Last week I clubbed 7 baby harp seals to death and roasted a bald eagle for dinner, but I tried to offset that by purchasing verifiable reductions in cruelty to animals elsewhere. Also, I dumped three gallons of used motor oil down the storm drain, but I tried to offset THAT by purchasing verifiable reductions in pollution elsewhere. So, me with my periodic ecological excesses and Al Gore with his private jets and SUVs, we're both doing pretty good for the Earth I'd have to say, on account of purchasing those really great reductions elsewhere.

I'm gonna go purchase about forty reductions elsewhere this morning, in fact, because tomorrow I have a bunch of trash to incinerate out by the Blue Ridge and that usually means burning an entire mountain or two, if the wind gets out of control.
