beat those pesky monks in Myanmar and that holocaust hero. All this for an absolutely laughable alarmist hunk of fluff .. geez. And given that Comrade Carter picked the thing up in 2002 or some such I am sure that absolutely no statement whatsoever is being made that is in any way anti-American.

He deserves to be President. He's politically savvy, anti-the powers-that-be, and a proven environmentalist. I don't think he will run, but if he did I think he'd ignite a fire under the Democrats unlike any we have seen before. I consider Al Gore to be an American hero who got cheated out of his rightful place in the White House. You go, Al! Congratulations on the Prize!

Must be right-wingnut heads exploding, all across America.

If Gore were to run, he wouldn't be able to do the kinds of things he does now. He would be constrained by the kinds of campaign contributions he'd have to get from corporate interests who don't want the public to hear about global warming and single-payer healthcare.

He's probably better situated to do some good from where he is right now.

All this for an absolutely laughable alarmist hunk of fluff .. geez. And given that Comrade Carter...

Good to have the reminder of who we're dealing with here in calloway. It's so good to know that his hero Duhbya has protected America (except for 9/11) and has done such a great job straightening out all of the other little problems in the world.

I always liked Comrade Carter, especially in that one episode where Hogan got him drunk to make him forget that he'd seen the microfiche films about the secret base.

Al Gore, Native Son, Vietman Vet., U.S, Representative, U. S. Senator, U. S. Vice President, Oscar Winner, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Presidental election stolen from him in 2000 and given to George Bush, a draft dodger, alleged drug user and now a War Crimal. The voters in Tennessee and in particular in ET should feel real proud of themselves.

Sadly, most do. They reward themselves at Spral*Mart followed by dinner at one of the fine generica establishments in Turkey Creek. Just hop in the Hummer and crank the A/C!

That's great. This excerpt doesn't spoil it:

There will be skeptics who ask what the Peace Prize has to do with global warming. The committee answered that unhesitatingly with its warning that climate change, if unchecked, could unleash massive migrations, violent competitions for resources and, ultimately, threaten the “security of mankind.”

There will also be those who complain that this prize — like the committee’s earlier awards to Jimmy Carter and the chief United Nations nuclear inspector, Mohamed ElBaradei — is an intentional slap at President Bush. It should be. We only wish that it would finally wake up the president.

It gets better.

Then there's the NY Post, which piled onto Gore with a story of a judge who apparently knows more about climate science than scientists do. A story that was prominently featured in our KNS, btw.

As Erica Jong says:

Americans like dopey presidents and fear brainy ones. ... Gore is much too intelligent to be our president.

I'm proud of Al Gore

A stand up fellow.
