I was recently thinking about the hypocrisy of politicians.  How they rail and crusade against something and then it turns out that they are in fact quietly very into and for whatever they had been crusading against publicly.

For instance, Idaho Senator Larry Craig had helped enact the awful and ridiculous “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military policy, and had pushed for more severe punishment (when he was a member of the House) for Representative Barney Frank, who had involvement in a gay prostitution scandal.  As it turns out Mr. Craig enjoys some how you doin’ gay action himself. 

Spokane Mayor Jim West had championed an anti gay agenda but used his office to entice what he thought was a young man to his office, this on top of many other accusations of having inappropriate contact with underage boys.

Former Vice President and Senator Al Gore had championed lessening the impact that we as individuals have on our planet by way of consumption, and that we shouldn’t be causing such harm via how we live our lives.  As it turns out, Al Gore had been leaving a huge impact on our planet by using a ridiculous amount of nonrenewable electricity - in the form of 191,000 kilowatt hours of electricity in 2006.

So this brings me to Al & Tipper Gore’s campaign in the 1980s against the music industry, and how Tipper was “frightened” by watching some music videos that were aired on television at the time.  Anyway, the end result were those “Parental Advisory Warnings” ending up on CDs nowadays (yes, CDs still do exist). 

Now based off of our prior experience with politicians and their say one thing, and then go balls to the wall opposite of public words, what are Al & Tipper Gore’s nightstands full of? 

My guess is porn, and nasty hardcore porn at that.  Big hairy bush?   Possibly lots of poop?  Or maybe even Grannies?  Who knows, but I for one hope and pray that their porn collection is one day revealed and that they are proven to be loafers for having crusaded against the music industry so senselessly during the 1980s.
