McCain: Gore shouldn't have won Nobel Prize

[NYCGirl]

Very sour grapes, Mr. "Maverick"!

:thumbsdown:

Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain said the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, announced today, 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.

Gore and the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the award for their efforts to spread awareness of global warming and lay the foundations for counteracting it. Gore's environmental film, "An Inconvenient Truth," won an Academy Award earlier this year.

McCain, an Arizona senator, said he hoped Gore would now support nuclear power and a cap and trade proposal made by McCain and Sen. Joseph Lieberman to mandate that all sections of the U.S. economy reduce greenhouse gasses through a market-based system of trading emissions.

1. Et tu, McCain? nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. So what does Senator McCain think the US should do in Burma?

Given that he thinks it's such an important issue and all?

[bahrbearian]

22. It needs further study,, there are two opinions on what is happing there

On saying it is man made and the other stating that it is part of a natural cycle.

[Bjorn Against]

71. And the ones who are saying it is part of a natural cycle are dead wrong...

The science is very clear on this issue, there are hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific articles supporting the theory of global warming, and none that discredit it.

[bahrbearian]

74. I joke, I make fun

of those Idiots, I have to live with them. Sshhhhhh they might be listening

[Cha]

49. mccain is fulla hot

stinking fetid air and wouldn't know the answer to your question other than a reiteration that Gore shouldn't have won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize cause fucking mccain is so fucking jealous he's gone green.

[CottonBear]

3. CottonBear: McCain should STFU. He is such an asshole. n/t

[Chovexani]

10. LOL, great minds!

:evilgrin:

[CottonBear]

31. I know! :) n/t

[thereismore]

4. It's not up to you granpa! Why trouble your beautiful mind? nt

[Reverend_Smitty]

5. I think someone is jealous of Al...

[kimmerspixelated]

13. Makes ya kinda wonder why exactly he would say something

like that. Does he know something? ...hmmm?

[Hepburn]

6. Oh, geeeeeeeeeeeez,....

...John McCain is such a POS! :mad:

[Chovexani]

7. Chovexani: McCain's crazy ass needs to STFU.

I am so ashamed this crazy bastard is my senator.

[AlCzervik]

8. "Bitter---table for one?"

[Cha]

50. mccain needs Heimlich cause he's choking

on sour grapes.

[TwilightGardener]

9. Whaa? Has he lost all decency and grace? Somehow I expected better of him...

[Hydra]

14. After caving on torture?

par for the course. Bush calls him and asks him to do something, and he does it. What a gov't we have, eh?

[TwilightGardener]

23. I don't get too down on him for the torture thing, even if he compromised on it--

he's still better than most of the Repugs on the issue.

[Hydra]

28. compromised???

sure...did you see him showing off in the green zone, showing how "safe" it was?

He's so far past selling out it's not funny.

[TwilightGardener]

36. I don't defend him where he's indefensible--of course he's a pandering

sellout. But he was vocal against torture, tried to curtail it with legislation (even if it didn't work out), and said publicly that Gitmo should be closed. I will give him credit for that. Not for much else, and certainly not for being a jerk about Gore's win.

[Hydra]

37. Sorry, this is a sore point with McCain, so bear with me

A bill to authorize trial by military commission for violations of the law of war, and for other purposes.

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00259

McCain (R-AZ), Yea

So as I say about the Dems when they let bad bills slide through, "The words are nice, but at the end of the day, it's about the results."

[EVDebs]

11. That's right, he should be PRESIDENT instead right now ! nt

[depakid]

12. McCain is either really stupid by nature- or he's developing dementia

First of all, Aung San Suu Kyi DID win the Nobel Peace Prize (although not a monk)- and the recent protests in Myanmar are too recent to be within the purview of the nominating process.

Seems like every time that guy flaps his lips, something more inane comes out.

[CottonBear]

17. Exactly. McCain should know those facts or his staff should brief him first.

Good lord, he's just plain stupid. :(

[codjh9]

15. Who asked YOU, John?

[sinkingfeeling]

16. So now the GOP thinks they should decide who wins Nobel prizes!

[Initech]

18. Fuck McCain.

[Hydra]

19. I thought he was irrelevant

didn't he read the memo that he's a sellout and a failure?

STFU and RETIRE.

[Javaman]

20. well, since the Monk thing is just more or less unfolding now, wouldn't they be eligible

NEXT YEAR?????

mclame, go take a nap, you had a busy day.

[Mabus]

21. McCain is such an asshole

and is going Coulter by saying something so stupid it is sure to catch the press's attention.

[SpiralHawk]

24. Supporting the buddhists? How anti-Christian of him

he should be drummed out of the Christo-fascist republicon party

Beside, McCain actually served, and thus does not qualify for the special status of Republicon chickenhawk so beloved by the amoral republicon masses

[babylonsister]

25. What an ASSHOLE! nt

[WinkyDink]

Yeah, sure, Johnny. Let's hear that when next year the monks DO win.

What a transparent attempt to both denigrate Gore and the award AND make himself seem "noble".

McCain is a miserable, pathetic, craven loser.

[BootinUp]

26. This fucker is shameless. n/t

[Danger Mouse]

27. Yeah, Johnny, cause I see you've done SO much to put an end to that.

What's that, Johnny? You haven't done jack shit to stop it? I'm shocked, I tell ya, shocked!

[Raine]

29. Uh you have to be nominated first

in order to get one and that would be for NEXT year...DUH! :silly:

[Swamp Rat]

30. Thank you AL Gore for making me once again feel proud of my country.

[OHdem10]

32. What has happened to McCain--this sounds infantile.

[dkofos]

33. Mccain is such a twit

[me b zola]

34. What an ass

STFU McCain

[malaise]

35. How ungracious are these Rethug morons?

What an awful human being. :puke:

[tsuki]

38. That is pathetic. n/t

[hatrack]

39. Following in the classy footsteps of Ru9/11dy Giu9/11li9/11an9/11i, I see

STFU, Senator Sweatsponge.

[Ikonoklast]

40. Shut up, Grampa John, and get your crotchety 'ol ass

back on the porch. No one wants to hear your opinions about anything.

I didn't hear you say anything about those monks dying two friggin' weeks ago, but NOW suddenly they're important to you?

Go yell at some teenagers.

[sueh]

41. Why don't you take your ball and go home, McCain?

[BeatleBoot]

42. McCain's a TOTAL FREAK!

Fuck You, sir.

Go shit yourself, sir.

When the country, let alone the world, takes you seriously, then spew that shit.

Until then, shut the pie hole, flake.

[Bitwit1234]

43. How in the world would they have been nominated when the

world didn't know about them til a month or so ago, and the nominations and selections were already in.

[scarface2004]

44. go sing that song john!!!

bomb bomb bomb iran!! it s so cute when you do that little jig!!

[deacon]

45. I'm surprised the warmonger mccain thinks there should even be a peace prize. n/t

[undeterred]

46. McCain shouldn't be in the Senate. He's nuts.

[City Lights]

47. Stuff a sock in it you senile old man.

Lately I can't help but think that KKKarl was on to something when he started the whisper campaign about McCain's mental state during the 2000 campaign.

[WinkyDink]

48. "Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain ." He is? STILL?! Bwahaha!

[sutz12]

51. John McCain has a Burma strategy....

He figures Global Warming will flood most of Myanmar anyway and solve the "problem."

:evilgrin:

[Uncle Joe]

52. Mccain can't or doesn't want to see the big picture.

Should humankind go along our merry way disregarding the looming catastrophe of global warming climate change, we will have wars that will dwarf World War 2 and Al Gore has done more than any other single political leader, including Mccain in warning the people of this grave threat to our species. I wonder what Mccain believes will happen when the glaciers melt and the rivers dry up?

As for me, they should invent a new award for such a feat and give it to Al Gore, the Nobel Peace Prize doesn't do it justice. I'm not slamming the Nobel Peace Prize, but they don't have a category for saving all human life.

[in_cog_ni_to]

53. ROTFLMAO! They're really showing their true colors, aren't they? Now people can see just how hateful

they really are. What a piece of shit.

[bunkerbuster1]

54. McCain?

The one guy out of all the Goopers who isn't a complete jerk when it comes to environmental issues?

Is he actively trying to destroy whatever cred he ever had with rational people? Is that how you win over the idiot primary base?

(I know, stupid questions all...)

[Dukkha]

55. and you should have been left in that POW camp

what a despicable utter waste of human flesh you are. You embody everything unscrupulous and deceitful about the party you are sadly devoted to.

[MzNov]

56. McCain should be put on Ignore. nt

[Canuckistanian]

57. Classy.

But then again, what do these people know about any kind of social grace?

[Glimmer of Hope]

58. What a sourpuss. No wonder his campaign is in the dumper.

[Hubert Flottz]

59. McCain and Sen. Joseph LIEberman...the kissin' Bobbsey Twins

If they ever give ass/bush kissing awards, Joey and Johnny can't lose.

[Virginia Dare]

60. Did he send in a formal nomination for those Buddhist monks?

or is he just blowing air out of his asshole as usual?

[lonestarnot]

61. Shut the fuck up! McDrain!

[Contrary1]

62. Watching the Freeper heads explode has become my favorite pasttime...

and for that, Mr. Gore, I thank you.

[proud patriot]

63. mine too

:evilgrin:

[Raine]

64. Careful there John, your obvious envy is

making you look ugly and petty. x(

[RevCheesehead]

65. Burma?

Yeah, right... :eyes:

[mmonk]

66. Why doesn't McCain try to get one by trying stop what is going on in Burma?

He currently is in the US government.

[Rex]

67. This from a man who lets his own 'party' call his wife a whore and slut

Whatever McCain, you get zero respect around here. I've picked things off the bottom of my shoe that have more dignity than John McCain. :eyes:

[HughBeaumont]

68. SMELL my shoulder, Maverick!

Failed.

[tabasco]

69. Truly disgraceful.

The republicans have sunk to become nothing but bottom-feeding scum.

[pitohui]

70. meow, jealous much, senator mccatty, i mean mccain? EOM

.

[spanone]

72. he should talk to the Nobel people about this or shut the fuck up

[Semper_FiFi]

73. Yeah??? Well, I wanted Ronald Reagan's carcass to be tossed into a paupers grave...

with no undue attention being paid to his wretched life. I guess The Stones were right: "You can't always get what you want."

[ProudDad]

75. I would like mccain to fold it 7 ways and put it where the sun don't shine

Imagine if Gore had been given the Presidency he earned.

Some right-wing fuck would have killed Gore and then we would have had....










President lie-Berman!!!!!

:Shudder:

[Zenlitened]

76. Mr. McCain, history will find it easy to forget you.

Whatever gifts you once possessed have long since been squandered.

Whatever perspective you might once have contributed has long since been lost.

From "maverick" to meaningless, all in the cause of cheap party politics. Swallow enough of your pride, and eventually it turns toxic and kills you.

:(
