Al Gore Called Away Unexpectedly for 'Exciting and Urgent Mission'
Thursday , October 11, 2007
A simple phone call by Al Gore to Sen. Barbara Boxer's office has touched off widespread speculation that the former vice president is getting ready to make an even bigger splash — perhaps as a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
The politician-turned-environmental-crusader contacted the California Democrat to beg out of a Thursday fundraising event for her, where he was to headline alongside musicians Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, the political blog SFGate.com reported.

In a note sent to event supporters and posted on the blog, Boxer wrote: "I just got a call from Vice President Al Gore. He told me that he needs to travel abroad tomorrow for an exciting and urgent mission that could result in a major breakthrough in the fight against global warming."
The San Francisco fundraiser has been postponed until Nov. 9, but speculation is rife that Gore's next public appearance could be in Oslo, Norway, where the Nobel Peace Prize is to be awarded on Friday.

If it is for the Nobel, he is going to have a long wait!!
************
Since 1901, the Nobel Prizes have been presented to the Laureates at ceremonies on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death.
Could someone please explain to me how making a jokumentary that’s filled with so much fiction that even the Oscar committee had to suspend its rule on truthfulness — could qualify for the peace prize?
But then, maybe if he wins, he’ll decide to throw his hat into the presidential ring and that would pull votes aplenty from Hillary. Then he’d finally be even.
The Nobel Peace Prize doesn’t mean anything more than an Oscar. At least the Oscar once was given out to people with talent. No longer is that the case.
Same is true, apparently, for the Nobels. So he could have two meaningless pieces of gold sitting on his fireplace mantle.
Big deal.

Based on an earlier misspelling in this thread.
BTW, there’s a spelling error in the title to this thread. It should read,;
Al Gore Called Away Unexpectedly for ‘Exciting and Urgent Emission.’
Thanks for the correction!

Really, knowing that Jimmy Carter got one is all you ever need to know about the Nobel Prize.
Pin The Tail On The Donkey Pin The Prize On The Jackass.
Junky Industrial Waste Puke Alert!
Yes, the formal ceremony is in December but IF the Goreacle has received any heads-up that he is the winner then he may well be trying to locate himself before Friday in the city where he could try to make the biggest PR splash, i.e, NYC, DC, London, Paris, etc. OR, maybe he is flying off to Greenland, the Arctic Circle somewhere, etc. so that he can rant about glaciers and polar bears right after the news hits. IF his sudden mysterious departure has to do with the Nobel, THEN I’d guess it is highly likely he is positioning himself for maximum propaganda tomorrow and in coming days. UGH.
That is an awesome piece of work!
There must have been another ManBearPig siting!!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the comment!
Ignorant speculation. At this point the committee simply calls you. Award ceremony isn’t until December, so there would be NO reason for Gore to be flying anywhere.
It's just as much a farce as anything else this buffoon or the left does.....
