I thought the Nobel peace prize had already lost all credibility, but if Gore gets it, it’ll be a total joke.

That's correct. The Nobel Peace Prize has become a laughingstock and although the snobs who award the thing still take themselves seriously the rest of the world simply looks away in embarrassment. Most people today realize that the silly, vain little mice who award the prize are only using the once-reputable award as a way to make their own selfish politicial statements.

The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded by the United Nations, with Jimmy Carter as their new SecGen, Ahmadinejad as their Human Rights Secretary and OJ as the head of their Security Council.

That way, one bomb will do em all.

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.

I think it's perfect...Al Gore getting an "award" for global warming....from the legacy of Alfred Nobel the inventor of high explosive dynamite.

It's just as much a farce as anything else this buffoon or the left does.....

It’s meant nothing for years now. How can you respect a “prize” that’s given to Arafat and Carter? ptui
