Seeing Al Gore so deservedly share the Nobel Peace Prize, it is impossible not to note the contrast in his leadership and that of George W. Bush.
Gore and Bush each faced a crucible moment. For Gore, it was winning the popular vote and having the election taken away from him by a Republican-dominated Supreme Court. For Bush, it was the shocking terrorist attack on 9/11.
Gore lost the presidency, but in the dignity and grace with which he gave up his legal fight, he united America. Then, faced with what to do with the rest of his life, he took up a personal crusade to combat climate change, even though the odds were stacked against him, his soapbox was small, his audiences were measured in hundreds, and his critics were legion. Nevertheless, Gore stuck with it and over time has played a central role in building a global consensus for action on this issue.

Yep, Al Gore undoubtedly deserves to be in the same company as Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat.
You would think that the left wing press would give some props for standing up to the chicomms and honoring the Dali Llama, but noooooooooooooooooooo, gotts stick with the script, and the script is to bash him every chance they get. Anyone with clear eyes (liberal or conservative) can see their pathetic bias on parade.
**Gore lost the presidency, but in the dignity and grace with which he gave up his legal fight, he united America.**
No Richard Nixon united America when he didn’t challenge the buying of an presidency by JFK’s dad in 1960. I bet Friedman has never written an article like this about Nixon.
Just askin'.
For sheer pig-headedness, Friedman has set a new standard.
Proudly, no doubt...
Many on the left are insane.
As the author of this column has so clearly demonstrated.
Yeah right, He gave up the fight after losing in the supreme court. He gave up the fight because he didn't have a leg to stand on.

In the wake of the TW800 explosion, Algore received a special commission from Clinton to investigate and improve airport security. Forgive me for wondering why improved airport security would be a need if the explosion was actually caused by defective wiring in the main fuel tank...
Algore's commission drafted and proposed a package of truly draconian security measures -- which would have virtually shutdown air travel in the U.S.
However, when the airlines came up with an $800,000 donation to the Democrats, the commission's recommendations were somehow buried...
Yes, it's a scandal. Just another one of the Clinton Scandals that the MSM couldn't bring themselves to investigate.
Yes, but Bush has the infinitely more difficult task of dealing with real life - not a fantasy world.

Gore does more than Bush? I guess if you only count accomplishments achieved while in the buffet line.
algore has made a lot of money.
What else has he done?
Once global warming is legislated and regulated, there will be no getting away from it by anyone, anywhere. Regulation enforcement alone will double or triple the cost of maintaining the infrastructure, and it is all for nothing, accomplishing nothing. As usual, California will accomplish it first. My sympathies.

Planet Friedman is a strange place, much like in superman’s Bizzaro World.
The opposite of everything he said is true.
