Nicole Russell writes in the American Spectator:
The double-standards began a year ago last summer when the DNCC hired Andrea Robinson to be their Director of Greening to make their convention as green as possible. Robinson was also the “Green Manager” for Live Earth, the event last summer that used more energy in the 24-hour-period that it occurred, than over 3,000 people use in one year.
While DNCC encouraged bloggers from all over the country to attain credentials and travel to Denver to blog the convention (thus emitting CO2), their Republican counterparts encouraged bloggers to obtain credentials but also acquired the services of Ustream.TV — allowing bloggers to view the proceedings via live streaming from their own living rooms.
