Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize (of course?)
So, apparently Al Gore is now a Nobel Peace Prize winner (jointly). Even if you believe that his film was completely factual, I'm not sure how anyone can think that speaking out against global warming has anything to do with peace. Goes to show that standards are really falling. I, for one, would have been behind giving him the Nobel Peace Prize for something truly important he's done like inventing the internet.

Boy, the man sure sounds intelligent here. I'm surprised it has taken this long for him to be honored so appropriately!
Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

We have Bushisms, why don't we have Gore-isms? For example, once Gore said that a "leopard cannot change his stripes."
As far as I am concerned the Nobel Peace Prize no longer means anything. Giving it to Gore destroyed any value it had left.

Like my husband and the author of an article I've read have asserted that "just goes to show how good life can be once you are officially designated a victim of George W. Bush. Once Mr. Gore lost the 2000 election (before which he was scorned and mocked by the liberal world), the world fell over itself showering him with wealth and honor. If only he could arrange to lose another election to a Republican he could be chosen pope, homecoming king and champion of the Soap Box Derby."
