Talking Points Memo

Soon after the news broke last week about Al Gore's energy-hog mansion, the leftwing HuffingtonPost.com began attacking the story and trying to build a defense for Gore, ultimately publishing seven "Talking Points" for Gore defenders to use. I've seen some of those talking points be recycled in letters-to-the-editor defending Gore in newspapers across the country.

I previously addressed - and destroyed - three of the seven talking points, by using something called "facts," in a post you can read at the Ecotality blog here. Now, Bob Krumm has done some actual journalism and destroyed two more of the seven, talking myths, leaving HuffPo and its readers with only two factual "talking points" which boil down to nothing more than spin.

Good job, Bob.

So, is Al and Tipper's mansion zoned for office use? While anyone can have a home office, there are zoning restrictions on staff, work-related visitors, etc. Someone should check that out.
