Did you hear that Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize? Yup. He did. And an Oscar‡ and an Emmy. Just so we are clear what that leaves us with, in this corner:
Former vice president Al Gore and a United Nations panel that monitors climate change were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today for their work educating the world about global warming and pressing for political action to control it.
In a brief public appearance in California, Gore vowed to use the award to increase awareness and push for a more urgent response to climate change
And in that corner, hiding behind anyone in uniform:
President Bush is a competitive guy. But this is one contest he would rather lose. With 18 months left in office, he is in the running for most unpopular president in the history of modern polling.
Nice call by the SCOTUS in 2000. Do you think the Justices are proud today?
Update [2007-10-12 18:15:26 by DemFromCT]:: Speaking of things that make you proud (or not), what a graceless piece of work John McCain is:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain said the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, announced Friday, should have gone to someone else other than former Vice President Al Gore.
"I would have liked to see that prize go to the Buddhist monks who are suffering and dying in Burma," McCain said after a speech this morning in Davenport.
