A resolution urging that the state Capitol Commission erect a statue on the Capitol grounds in honor of former Democratic Vice President Al Gore for winning the Nobel Peace Prize failed on the Senate floor today.
The resolution, which also urged a statue be erected for Nobel Peace Prize winner Cordell Hull, failed on a 15-14 vote with most Republicans voting no. It needed 17 votes to pass.
Earlier, the sponsor, Sen. Andy Berke, D-Chattanooga, said the measure had “broad bipartisan support in the House.”
In the Senate, Sen. Ken Yager, R-Harriman, removed an amendment he had previously attached to the resolution that would have included the name of libertarian economist James Buchanan Jr., who won a Nobel Prize for economics.
Sen. Yager also noted that Mr. Gore had not actually been born in Tennessee.
Mr. Gore, Democrats’ unsuccessful 2000 presidential nominee, won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for “informing the world of the dangers posed by climate change.” That was based in large part for his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, for which he won an Oscar.
The late Mr. Hull, a one-time U.S. secretary of state, won the Nobel Peace Prize for helping found the United Nations.
..... and windy ... especially at the top of the triple chair
Far from it. The rodents are trying to bankrupt us.
Did she mistake the Jimmuh statue for Bubba ?
“Mr. Gore, Democrats’ unsuccessful 2000 presidential nominee, won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for “informing the world of the dangers posed by climate change.” That was based in large part for his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, for which he won an Oscar.”
Davis Guggenheim was nominated for and received the 2007 Academy Award for Best Documentary. Gore received a photo op holding the statue and giving an “acceptance speech” for something that was not his. And the legend and lie endures.

No, Gore got the "award" for a sewer of lies regarding the obscene hoax of "global warming"----aka Gore-bal warming, aka Gorbachev warming.
It's nothing to do with Detroit--yet everything to do with the sun--
--and ali Hussein will make energy for heating and the freedom of mobility and the engine of commmerce prohibitively expensive--
Deliver us from this conspiracy of evil dunces.
To Democraps with an agenda, the TRUTH doesn't matter.They keep repeating the lie ... over and over and over and over and over again!
Until enough believe it.
And the Media has been leading the conspiracy to promote this BS!
I know, and it will probably become 'fact' in future textbooks.
