Al Gore win Nobel Peace Prize

[LL2]

What a joke! Not that I care who wins a Nobel Peace prize but why not hand one to Michael Moore too.

[Harlan Huckleby]

If you believe global warming is a real threat, then certainly Gore is a reasonable choice for Nobel.

Michael Moore - I'm not a fan because he is so biased. He creates pseudo-documentaries, which he knows perfectly well people accept as factual, and then hides behind the "entertainment" designation whenever he's busted. He is superb at propoganda, a rare talent.

I've heard Moore's "Sicko" documentary is the best work he's ever done. I can't comment, but if he made a factual documentary this time, I would not be surprised if Moore recieved some non-film awards for it.

Gore-Moore 2008!

And then we'll enter the Gore-Moore Years! Gore-Moore Years!

Yassar Arafat called to complain about the lowered standards.

How many American's that have won the Nobel Peace Prize weren't flaming liberal extremists? I am assuming the keyword there is "Peace". Just what exactly has Al Gore done to promote Peace and bring anyone together in harmony? I know he has done a lot to say whatever it takes to get his face plastered all over the media. He is a compulsive liar which has been proven time and time again, yet people still believe what he says. Those people should not be allowed to vote because yes, they are that stupid.

Hollywood loves him. I'm sure that gives him credibility.

If New York and California are submerged because of global warming and the bass fishing gets better than how bad a thing could it be?

Someday, when we're all dead, we'll be sorry that we didn't listen to Al.

Anyone see those 'record label' guidelines from Tipper? How come she didn't get the peace prize for cleaning up popular music?

[Freak Out]

I thought there had to be peace somewhere for there to be a prize? Oh well....next year.

Ok...you guys can go back to your scratch-n-sniff Dick Cheney posters and crank yourselves.

[Tarlam!]

I am >OK with it.

Al done good.

[Kiwon]

Yasir Arafat

Kim, Dae-Jung (after a $500 million bribe to North Korea)

Jimmy Carter

Mohamed El-Baradei

And now, Al Gore wins after months of campaigning for it.

The Nobel Peace Prize has become a pure joke. Absolutely meaningless.

OMG I totally want a scratch n' sniff Dick Cheney poster!
