At least the White House is, technically, a working facility. I doubt Al does that much work...and he lost his chance to live at the working facility. :-P

Why is it a big deal? 'Cause he should clean up on his own friggin' doorstep before he preaches at others and condemns them for how much power they use. Besides, how often do you suppose that guy is really at HOME anyway? Not only is he using a lot, but it's basically being wasted on keeping his wine chilled. He needs to get off this mythical global-warming kick anyway and address real issues. No wonder he lost and the Dems don't want him back.
