Wait, should that read "DAMN YOU GORE!"?) In other news:  Gore Wins Nobel Prize, High Court Gives It to Bush by Scott Ott · 20 Comments (2007-10-12) — Although former Vice President Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize this week for his work as a global-warming performance artist, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early today that President George Bush would receive the gold medal, the diploma and the $750,000. Mr. Bush, who was narrowly defeated by Mr. Gore in the 2000 presidential election, thanked Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito “for swinging the vote my way, and helping me to join the pantheon of great Nobel laureates like Jimmy Carter and the late Yassir Arafat who together brought peace to the middle east.†Mr. Gore could not be reached for comment as he was returning from Oslo, Norway, in a private jet. However, his spokesman said that his efforts to bring peace on earth speak for themselves. “Thanks to Al Gore’s movies, speeches and books,†said the unnamed spokesman, “Terrorists and tyrants around the world will soon lay aside the weapons of war and give peace a chance by working together to develop a hybrid car that runs on cheap, clean-burning gunpowder.†-------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

there is no reason for gore to win this...
it was an obvious political maneuver this will now bolster hillary's campaign as she will stand with gore and talk about climate change on her platform total bullshit -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

QUOTE (Hartmann @ Oct 12 2007, 09:54 AM) Al Gore basically got the Nobel Peace Prize for what essentially was a poorly put together PowerPoint presentation. You didn't like the transition? No blinds? Or swooshes? |
