Pull yourselves together

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Nothing bothers me more than when liberals look like hypocrites. Case in point:

The handsome, full-size sport utility vehicle pictured above is a Chevy Suburban. It was sent by the anti-SUV environmental puritans of the Sierra Club to pick up fellow, eco-zealot Arianna Huffington, who gave rousing, Bush-bashing, closing remarks at the eco-summit...

Curious, I asked [national Sierra Club spokesman Eric] Antebi whether any of the staff at the Sierra Club headquarters owned and drove SUVs. He stumbled and said the group didn't keep track of who drove what. It's "a personal decision," he explained. "People drive different cars for different reasons."

Nice going, guys. How about you not completely undermine your entire platform?

Now, wouldn't it be nice if these anti-SUV green busybodies took the same attitude towards the rest of us and left our car choices alone?!

No. It'd be nice if they avoided hypocrisy, but driving gas-guzzlers is still irresponsible.

Malkin's attitude towards the Sierra Club is interesting, considering that it's been somewhat infiltrated by anti-immigration forces. Neiwert:

All three, however, are running under the banner of a faction calling itself "SUSPS," formerly Sierrans for U.S. Population Stabilization, which is essentially a front organization for anti-immigrant groups with extensive ties to white nationalist and supremacist organizations and activities.

She's probably just mad because the efforts have failed, for the moment.
