A resolution urging the creation of statues to be built on the Capitol grounds of the state's two Nobel Peace Prize winners, Al Gore and Cordell Hull, is on its way to a full Senate vote.
The Senate State and Local Government Committee on Tuesday advanced the measure supporting the privately funded statues on a 9-0 vote. The resolution previously passed in the House unanimously.
Gore was awarded his Nobel prize in 2007 for his work on global warming, while Hull received the award in 1945 for his role in creating the United Nations and improving international trade relations.
Both men served as Democratic congressmen and senators from Tennessee before moving on to the executive branch, Hull as secretary of state and Gore as vice president.

Why a statue? Couldn’t they just pay Al Gore to stand there?
the UN and Gorebull warming...2 turds that taxpayers continue to polish.
It would be funny if they put it waste deep in the Potomac, symbolizing his insistence that we are all going to be drowned by rising oceans.
The pigeons could use another perch!
Maybe God will split it in two with a lightning bolt.
Hoist it!
It’s all right with me so long as Al Gore’s statue is available for my dog to P*** on it.
Let me guess. A giant windbag. On a pedestal.
May the poop of a thousand pigeons adorn his head forever.
I made a perfect Algore statue this morning.
Then I flushed it down.
The only up side of this that I can think of is that I wish I would come back as a pigeon in my afterlife and this statue would be my first stop!
“Gore was awarded his Nobel prize in 2007 for his work on global warming,....”
If someone found a way to prevent the next ice age (global warming), that would be worth a Nobel prize.
Amazing.
WAY TO FUNNY, LMAO
POST OF THE DAY # 12 LOL!
I guess with all the surplus money in the state treasury they’re just trying to find more ways to spend it...
