Gore's book, The Assault on Reason, won the prize in the history/current affairs/politics category.

He won the same award last year for his book An Inconvenient Truth. His daughter Karenna Gore Schiff accepted the award on his behalf.

She said he was unable to attend as he was in Europe meeting leaders to discuss ways to combat climate change.

Gore was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change earlier in October this year.

He won the same award last year for his book An Inconvenient Truth...all for a guy who had worse grades as an undergraduate than the stupid George Bush and who flunked out of law school and dropped out of divinity school - doesn't take much to impress the intellectual class these days......

I must admit, never has a book been so appropriately titled.

Another consolation prize.

No one ever racked up so many awards for losing.

The are truly evil humans. Our leftist dominated colleges are turning them out by the 100's of thousands. You should read the vicious, slanderous comments the Stalinists fanatics are writing about Marcus Luttrell's Lone Survivor. It is disgusting how these slimy subhumans attack our brave Warriors. I pray there is a special place in Hell for such evil humans.
