AL GORE WINS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE !

Of course people now are going to say its Bush. Thats who people know. You notice none of the worst regimes happened pre-truman. You ask your average American who the president was before reagan and they probably can't tell you. You have all these Anti-War folk who are on a hate Bush trip. Just be happy that you don't have to worry about anybody else attacking us while he is in office.

I hope Gore runs so both the Rep. and Dems. start calling bs on GW.

OK sonny- lets give you another try. In what way is Gore an "Opportunistic moron" and Bush is not. While you are working on that, answer this- if Rush Limbaugh or Anne Coulter or anyone idealized by the neocon right won a Nobel would you find it acceptable regardless of who they are as long as they werent a democrat?

If you were dying but your only chance of living was to let a democrat save your life, would you allow it even if a republican told you not to

What is it about Gore that upsets you so much junior? Is it that he actually won the election in 2000 while Bush needed his daddies court to deliver it to him? Is it that he was right about climate change? Is it that he was right about the Iraq war.

Why cant you just stop worshiping your icons like a teenager following a baseball star and start thinking about what is best for the country and for humanity. Are you capable of seeing anthing outside of partisan lines? is anyone who is against Bush an opportunistic moron or some such label? The problems facing the world are not simple, not black and white. They require serious thought and reflection which requires giving up a partisan vuewpoint

he never claimed to invent the internet and he never said the internets and he never said that he hoped that man and fish would peacefully coexist and he never said that major combat operations were over.

I would add that arafat's victory hardly means that the nobel prize is worthless. one bad decision (e.g. henry kissinger) doesn't affect the other decisions. and obviously you conservatives are ridiculous with the bad arguments: here you offer us a slew of ad hominem arguments, none of which touch the question of whether gore publicized the problem of global warming more successfully than anyone else ever has.

4:29:20 - Oprah Winfrey

4:58:25 - Al Gore

Oprah incorporated core strength training one month before the marathon which allowed her to rub elbows with a whole different caliber of athletes. Gore never achieved such excellence in the running arena.

And GW ran 3:44:52, at age 46.

At least he found something he was good at. Sort of.

I think Gore is doing a much better job at life overall.

Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh — more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh — guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.

In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006

And interestingly, Nixon & Reagan were both reelected in two of the largest landslides in presidential election history. And LBJ's victory in '64 (though not technically a reelection) was also one of the biggest landslides in US history. W Bush was also reelected. And Truman was elected to a four year term after finishing the last three years of Roosevelt's term. And guess who was not reelected and suffered a pretty wide defeat in their race for reelection.........yep Jimmy Carter.

citation, or did you make up the poll?

How many people are working at Gore's "house" every day?

Since he is running a home office out of it then I would suspect his energy usage would necessarily be pretty high.

Given how busy (and successful) he has been the past year it's understandable he is using far more than the average household. I have no problem with this.

The school governor who challenged the screening of Al Gore's climate change documentary in secondary schools was funded by a Scottish Fuel and mining magnate who established a controversial lobbying group to attack environmentalists' claims about global warming.

The notorious "man-made" greenhouse gasses comprise about .26 per cent of the total greenhouse gas component of the earth's atmosphere and the influence of this component remains entirely unproven. Gore's contribution to the debate has been an appalling mishmash of cooked statistics, demagoguery about "scientific consensus" and New Age hocus pocus about spiritual renewal.

And anyone who has studied the antics of his co-winner of the peace prize, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, will know that the IPCC'sprime role has been to ignore the work--some of it respectable scientific research--of expert panels and issue entirely mendacious and to issue alarmist press releases designed to win headlines in such media outlets as the New York Times.

you're right. ann coulter would have been a better choice.

Ha ha ha ha!!!!!

That was brilliant.

Hail to Al Gore.

He's won two things of immense significance; 1. The US presidency 2. He's now a Nobel Laureate.

If grades are what interest you and it seems that tey do, please check the grades of your hero Beorge Bush,(C's and d's as i recall) and compare them to your favorite whipping boy Bill Clinton (straight A's) Either grades are importnt or theyre not. Are bad grades important only if they belong to a democrat and unimportant if they belong to a republican?Are good grades unimportant if they belong to a democrat and important if they belong to a republcan?

Do you feel stupid sonny?

Gore flunked out of Vanderbilt University

Gore got C's and D's in high school french and history

Bush went to Yale, and scored superior on military tests than John Kerry did. Bush also had a higher average than Kerry while in Yale. Bush flew fighter planes in the Texas National Guard during Vietnam (a dumbass can't fly a military airplane, george w bush did, suck it liberals) He became governer of Texas twice in Landslide victories and became president twice, 2004 recieving the most votes than any other US president in history.

Bush also scored 1206 on his SATs and graduated from Yale AND Harvard Business school with a 3.6 GPA. I know for certain a stupid person couldn't accomplish this, whats your excuse now liberals?
