Congratulations to Al Gore

For all those like me, who missed the Oscar's, but not really, here is the highlight: Al Gore's acceptance speech. And, courtesy of the Drudge Report, we get a peek at the Gore mansion:

Gore’s mansion, [20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service.

Thanks to Dave Thompson for the pointer.

Addendum: More choice words from Joanna. Smarm-scapade? And I vote for couch surfing as the social movement most worthy of Hollywood's praise. Wouldn't it be great to surf on Leo Dicrapio's couch?
