GORE WINS MAJOR HUMANITARIAN AWARD!!! Nobel next???
"MADRID, Spain -- Former Vice President Al Gore won Spain's most prestigious prize Wednesday for his 'decisive contribution to progress in solving the grave problems of climate change which threaten our planet.'"

"Gore won the Prince of Asturias award for international cooperation, considered by some to be a warm-up for the Nobel Prizes, for which Gore is nominated this year in the peace category."

3. Not bad for a man who was refused his rightful place as POTUS...
...because he sighed, was "too wooden," and kissed his wife on national TeeVee...

...do I need the "sarcasm" similie?

5. He's said a lot of good things and made recommendations.
He's not undeserving.

But this post is in no way a redaction of previous statements I've said. I still stand by those.

8. No one is more deserving. Does anyone know who his Nobel
competition might be? I know that the Inuit lady is a co-nominee with Al.

11. Henry Kissinger empowered you and the rest of the American People
when he championed the internet only to be trashed, slandered and obfuscated by the Mass Corporate Media for his vision and dedication to the people...oh wait a minute, my bad, he didn't, that was Al Gore.
