Can we stop talking about Al Gore for President already?

I'm really getting sick of people and their whole "Al Gore for President" garbage. This is a many whose primary successes have come from his "environmental" stances and "successes". Of course, running on that would be suicide for him due to the ridiculous amount of hypocrisy. What do I mean?
  • He's admitted to exaggeration in his "documentary," An Inconvenient Truth.
  • He flies around the world in private jets to discuss global warming.
  • He gets a paycheck from a company which he formed that claims to provide carbon credits but in reality doesn't do much for the environment.
  • He lives in a 20,000 square foot house and has four-digit monthly utility bills.
  • He drives an SUV in An Inconvenient Truth.
  • Most notably, however, is that he never submitted the Kyoto accords to the Senate despite his position as President of the Senate.

How someone who lives such an extravagant, wasteful lifestyle and was against the Kyoto accords when he had an opportunity to do something about them could ever run on an environmental platform is completely and utterly beyond me.
