Al Gore has brought Honor to the United States and I Thank Him For It

[ThomWV]

After 6 years of the disgrace which is George Bush it is immensely pleasing for a world body to give honor to an American for his peaceful efforts to improve the world. It is a wonderful thing for all of us.

Thank you President Gore.

7. I can't say enough, I really can't. Been watching and admiring this man

since he was a baby congressperson, back when I lived in Nashville(not my district unfortunately but we had a good Blue Democrat too), and am a long standing admirer of his father too.

My alarm went off with the usual annoying buzz, I hit the buzzer turnoff which brings in the radio (NPR of course) and the first words I heard "The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Al Gore" well after that I couldn't lie in bed and listen to Morning Edition and dream the news. I had to get up.

Grew up on the KY TN border and always felt like Al Sr was MY senator more than whomever the KY Senators were at the time, and was proud to cast a vote for Al Jr in his first Senate race. Love the guy. Met him twice..once when he was probably on leave from the Army and his dad had just lost the Senate seat. I cashed a check for him in the bank where I was employed and when I saw his name I had to ask if he was in fact son of the Senator..then HE wanted to know if I was from Tennessee ..which led to me telling him how depressedmy mother was over his dad's Senate race..she wanted to jump the state line and vote over there! He liked that. Met him later and heard him speak when he was in Congress, and he was talking about the environment then. back in about 1979 or so.

8. Gore won the Nobel. The United States didn't.

And I'm sick of hearing people trying to take Mr. Gore's achievement away from him, and giving it to someone else, like "the United States" or "the Democratic Party." Let him keep his glory, damn it!
