- alapoet, on 09/04/2008, -4/+155From the truncated headline, I at first thought this was a MUCH more personal insult. :-)
- scottsutherland, on 09/04/2008, -21/+96I think the vast majority of people at the convention wouldn't give a ***** if they knew Romney was lying to them...they were being fed what they wanted to hear.
- mrpither, on 09/05/2008, -5/+51most private jets are not owned - they are leased. much smarter way to go IMO...
- interval, on 09/05/2008, -6/+47Sure, Al Gore doesn't own a jet. A completely independent corporation which is just coincidentally wholly owned by Al Gore does.
- dan222555, on 09/05/2008, -9/+50Romney didn't say he owned one. "Gore's private jet" can easily refers to any private jet he flies in...regardless of who owns it. The criticism remains valid. It's been well-documented that Gore often travels in private jets. Whether he owns them or uses NetJets or whatever is irrelevant.
- rald84, on 09/04/2008, -13/+45but if he did, it would be solar powered.
/daily show - TheWriteGuy, on 09/05/2008, -6/+33Al Gore? I thought somebody else was running on the Democratic ticket.
- G_money, on 09/05/2008, -6/+30he probably leases time on one instead...guy certainly isn't flying commercial.
- JohnnyKdiggs, on 09/05/2008, -15/+39It doesn't matter whether or not Gore has a private jet. What matters is that Romney SAID he has a private jet. It's already been said, it's already been heard, and it's not quite controversial enough to be picked up by the media.
And so, 99% of America won't know any better. - jon31rm, on 09/05/2008, -10/+32Except for the fact that... he does?
He ranked #1 on Most Retarded Ways Celebrities Have Tried to go Green
http://www.cracked.com/article_16579_p2.html - MattFromSeattle, on 09/04/2008, -21/+39Line up and drink your Kool-Aid. This election has become a mockery of the democratic process, just like all the others in the past 20 years. Until people start to think outside their party lines, it'll never be anything more than sheep following the herd, whether they're being fed lies or not.
'My candidate said it, so it must be true!' - SRSco, on 09/05/2008, -4/+20Al Gore may not OWN a private jet. But he flies around in one (for example, the one owned by Paramount, which flew him around for months promoting his movie).
Don't be so naive. - inactive, on 09/05/2008, -5/+21Thinkprogress Oooops again...

And another Thinkprogress ooops....

Dang.... - YEEK, on 09/05/2008, -0/+15I'd lease my private jet, but that 12,000 mile a year limit is just so-o-o impractical.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -4/+17I think that's the point Romney was making. Gore likes to preach the benefits of public transportation but you wouldn't catch him dead in economy class.
It's just another case of democrat "do as I say and not as I do." - IrishJoe, on 09/04/2008, -1/+14God help him on those night flights.
- TVega, on 09/04/2008, -27/+39Pretty much sucks to be a Republican this election...even if you aren't running.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -5/+16Well apparently Al Gore had a penchant at one time for "rented" private planes until people started giving him a hard time about it.
Here is an Pro- Democrat article that mentions this:
http://www.newshounds.us/2007/09/10/democratic_str ... - ayeroxor, on 09/05/2008, -4/+13DIdn't you hear? It's the latest version of "buh-buh-but Clinton!"
- bubba9999, on 09/05/2008, -3/+12What sucks is that the margin is as close as it is.
- psion01, on 09/05/2008, -1/+9Was it a private train?
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -1/+9Not as much as those pesky Democrats.
- thehitman47, on 09/05/2008, -7/+15non-existent privates???
I KNEW IT!!!! - Wildfire760, on 09/05/2008, -1/+9I have to agree with you. I think it will be a great day when America elects an independent as president. However, that day is very far off, and right now I can't help but think that the Democratic party is the better choice. They at least address the issues of the economy, and don't focus only on tearing down the other candidate like the Republicans.
- AmericanElitist, on 09/04/2008, -22/+30there is no lie the gop won't tell to win votes
scummy, scummy, scummy
and they try and portray themselves as the moral party
bunch of f'ing hypocrites
dems, make sure you all go out there and vote this november, we need to make sure to get this culture as out of the limelight as possible and that will take a resounding defeat - Scuzbucket, on 09/05/2008, -21/+28Was it just me or was Romney's speech completely off the walls. Lie after lie, slogan after slogan. "Foreign tyrants" ... that's why the GOP is so great! Let's not find alternate and better energy sources let's just use more oil and damage the environment twice as much as we already are! Ah who gives a ***** we won't be alive to see it!
Obama/Biden '08! - ayeroxor, on 09/05/2008, -3/+9At least you admit you have no creativity or good ideas of your own.
But look at that, somebody took a picture of a baby and said it's a democrat! That's hilarious! Of course, the next time you complain about anything (let alone just point out a blatant lie), you've basically admitted you're just a huge ***** hypocrite. Need any help digging your own grave there, Captain Genius? - YEEK, on 09/05/2008, -0/+6Humants?
- rald84, on 09/05/2008, -2/+8lol @ cracked citation.
- sauron256, on 09/05/2008, -1/+7It's not his jet. It was used to fly him around when promoting the film.
- TedLW30101, on 09/05/2008, -4/+10Except that McCain doesn't flaunt his 'green-ness' like Gore does.
It's funny that Libs want to attack Palin for her daughter's mistake and then cry 'but she is supposed to be for abstinence values'
But when Gore likes to tell everyone else to be green but yet flys all over in a jet (owned, rented, whatever) and has a carbon footprint the size of Tennessee. Well that's just okay! - BoneheadFarker, on 09/05/2008, -0/+5Hummings?
No wait...lemmans?
Dammit...there must be a way of using lemmings somehow... - thh204, on 09/05/2008, -1/+6A simple google search will yield answers. Although its gone, I remember seeing on Drudge that Gore was seen getting into a Gulfstream private jet.
http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2007/09/gore_travels_by_ ... - ayeroxor, on 09/05/2008, -2/+7Yeah, plenty of submitters have given up trying lately. It's easier to be lazy and look ***** stupid than to take the time to *gasp* come up with your own sentence.
- redfred18t, on 09/05/2008, -7/+12He sold his private jet in order to increase funding for Manbearpig awareness.
- kocurejd, on 09/05/2008, -3/+8My thoughts exactly!
- GrodyChamp, on 09/05/2008, -1/+6Al Gore doesn't own a jet. A completely independent corporation which is just coincidentally wholly owned by Al Gore does.
Because leasing a jet and flying around in it is much better than outright owning it.
More ***** semantics from thinkprogress. I'm not suprised. - IrishJoe, on 09/04/2008, -3/+8Oh, but it is. Their "mistakes" always seem to benefit the GOP.
- liquisoft, on 09/05/2008, -2/+7The article you link to said Paramount paid for it. So it's not really his jet, so much as a jet provided for him to use. But yeah, the point still stands: he uses a private jet.
- charliebucketts, on 09/05/2008, -1/+6If you can't outsmart 'em, baffle 'em with *****
- jleems86, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4"another case of political 'do as i say and not as i do"
There, fixed that for ya - ocellnuri, on 09/05/2008, -11/+15Romney's right though, it was really out of line when Gore said that the only way to get around Arizona is in a small private plane.
Oh wait... that wasn't Gore.

- alexforcefive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4you click to select the job, then you click the lemming you want to perform it :)
then you double click the mushroom cloud and watch them all blow up! - Troy64, on 09/05/2008, -1/+5What does it matter if he owns it or not, the point is he does not fly commercial. He pollutes worse than 10 normal people, then buys carbon offsets from his own company.
The Democrats are all fired up for this election, but they will see something shiny on election day and forget all about voting. - ironpirate, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4what a terrible website whats next a huffington article
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -1/+5Well, "random people on the internet" seem to be driving the Damnocrats these days. And that's a shame.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -6/+10Here's Al Gore's jet. It doesn't matter if he owns it. If he flies in it it uses fuel.
"http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i199.ph ..." - sideffects, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4Dude I was just about to write the same comment. I'm glad to see a few people use their brains on Digg.
- MacGyver2210, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4Quit ***** digging them down. If you can prove to me ANY truth in the ***** that the bible is selling, I will join the dark side and say go religion. Until then, STFU and quit wasting our trees on a boring book for motel drawers.
