Well, Mr. Gore probably shouldn't get too worked up over this. It might not have been won on his own "merits." Like Jimmy Carter, he may have been chosen simply as a "kick in the leg" to the Bush administration.

<sarc> You know, since Bush pulled us out of the Kyoto treaty, and all....

I heard on BBC, prior to the announcement, that the prize committee is selected by the Norwegian parliament.

How could it be (he adds sarcastically) anything but fair?  After all, totally unbiased politicians selected the committee.

It would seem that given all of the controversy Algore has stirred up, he would be the last choice for a "peace prize".

You listed: "President Theodore Roosevelt. Mother Teresa. Lech Walesa. Martin Luther King. Al Gore?"

You should have listed Arafat and Carter instead. Those were political appointees, and people who's creditionals included terrorism, cowardice, and destructive actions.

If Gore had to receive anything, it's fitting it would fall under Peace Prize. His pile of crap certainly isn't science, so none of the other Nobel prizes would qualify. In fact, U.K. courts have documented at least 9 specific Untruths in his InConvenient Truth propaganda piece.

What a bunch of hooey.

I for one am grateful that the non-political committee selected by politicians only gave him the peace prize. I was afraid he would also get the Physics and Chemistry Prizes.

I am also thankful that these folks are socialits up there. Otherwise would canonization in a chuch be far behind? 

All hail St. Gore.  (Note to News babes doing interviews: Kissing of ring and fawning are now de-rigeur.)

It's a shame there's not a Nobel Prize for "Best Fictional Comedy About a Scientific Subject." He would have won that one hands down, and it would have been a far more relevant award.

They should drop the peace prize, it's testament to meaningless drivel.

This is not a good day to be a Norwegian amongst you, my esteemed and brilliant cohorts. 

On "International Talk Like a Pirate Day" I can pretend that pirates are the legitimate off-spring of the Vikings and have fun.  On "Chris the imposter Columbus Day" I can be inspired, again, to track the event back to the Vikings.

But today?  It is with a heavy heart and a sense of shame that I must acknowledge, again (whif of Carter...) that this merry band of Socialists has voted yet another jackass into the motley crew of past and current Nobel Prize winners.

I wonder if there's room in Nobel's coffin for the spinning this should generate?

What the hell, I'm on a roll here: how on earth could this wimpy crew, decended from such Nobel and noble stock - guys who sailed around huge amounts of the world with their one sail, raping pillaging burning, having a marauding good time, all made possible by the THEN warm era! - vote this bloated buffoon a medal? 

 It beggars the imagination and one's heart quails at the realization that the same land that brought us Viking terror (a furore normannorum, libera nos domine! * ) and goat cheese can now foist this bloated pig on the world as someone of note.

Gag. 

* From the fury of the northmen deliver us O God!

"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war"  - Shakespeare

that the members of the left-wing echo chamber spend all their time and money cheering for each other. The problem is that, just as with his Academy award, Gore will tout this as vindication of his crackbrained ideas, as if this had something -- anything -- to do with science.

Firefighter:
Is that a Pig... bear... man?

Al Gore:
No stupid... It's Manbearpig.

Awarding a Peace prize to someone who leads a war against science!

I hate to do it.  Normally I like to be polite and reserved when disagreeing with you all, but this morning I am gleeful and I can say only:

 Hah!

This is priceless. AGW is falling apart. And Less Nobel gives Bore and, the people who brought us food for oil, a peace prize.

Too funny. 

"There is a clear attempt to establish truth not by scientific methods but by perpetual repetition."
- Richard S. Lindzen, Ph.D. Professor of Meteorology, MIT

 Perhaps this is good, as once the REAL Truth about Global warming  becomes obvious to the most Causal Observer, NEVER AGAIN will the MSM be able to peddle their type of “DRAMA” on the Airways, political, Scientific, or otherwise, and the MSM will Fade into the Sunset along with the UN Council on Global Propaganda. 

When the BIG story of the “MSM Deity” predicting the Future on a Global Scale is found out to be a "MSM LIES" scenario , The following Definition, turns out to be…

Some deities are asserted to be the directors of time and fate itself, to be the givers of human law and morality, to be the ultimate judges of human worth and behavior, and to be the designers and creators of the Earth or the universe. Some of these gods have no power at all—they are simply worshipped.

His enablers in the media make me sick. They never met a socialist they didn't like. Take the media away and Gore would just be a sad little footnote in American politics.

Riddle me this; if Gore and the UN panel on climate change are so trumped tight in their science, to the point that 'issue' of AGW is a concensus and the debate is over, then why weren't they up for the Nobel Prize in Physics?  Its a simple question...............

Believer

All right, so the initial oscar renege appears to have been a humorous dart at the SCOTUS handling of the Gore/Bush election. But there seems to be some validity to the link ASKING the Academy to rescind the award. 

Let's see if NB leaves this one up. I thought the original link from Drudge was legit.

Maybe ALBORe can run, then canabalize the democratic ticket! With 4 High profile hopefulls (Billary, B. Hussein Osama, Jane Edwards, And ALbear) then the pie just gets smaller and smaller to who can pander more to the left, all the while Fred of Rudy will walk away with the election, Run Al, Run!
