Another Liberal Hypocrite: San Francisco Mayor Caught With Bottled Water
After he instructed city employees not to drink any bottled water. Because bottled water is bad for the environment or something.
This week, the City Insider spotted an almost empty case of bottled water in the back of Mayor Gavin Newsom’s hybrid sport utility vehicle as it was parked in front of City Hall. At least one full bottle of Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water remained under the plastic covering.
This from the mayor who in June 2007 issued an executive order directing city government to no longer purchase bottled water, saying the containers clog landfills while the city owns a pristine reservoir in the Sierra Nevada that produces some of the country’s best-rated tap water.
Newsom, a former restaurateur, last year called on the restaurant industry to stop selling bottled water to customers and start serving local tap water instead.
Because of that, the mayor generally declines bottled water at any event or meeting, lest he be photographed with an offending bottle.
Funniest part of the article:
“The mayor will be the first to admit that he occassionally indulges in bottled water,” Ballard said. “It’s not something he’s proud of.”
My goodness, they’re treating bottled water as if it were cocaine or something.
Regardless, put Newsom in with the rest of the liberal hypocrites who tell us to drive tiny little hybrid cars while they ride in their limos to their private jets. Who tell us to turn our thermostats down as they sit in their 8,000 square foot climate-controlled mansions.
Liberals want to tell the rest of us how to live our lives. They just don’t expect to be held to the same standard.
