Goreacle Wins the Nobel

As expected Al Gore has won the Nobel "Peace" Prize. What his global warming campaign has to do with peace is a mystery to me, but it's obvious from this year's awards that eco-wackyism is trumping issues having to do with bringing actual peace to the world. This was not the only award based on environmentalism. A chemistry winner won because of his work on the ozone layer.

I've only seen one TV report so far, but not surprisingly it completely ignored the ruling this week from a British judge that Gore's global warming scare movie contains "serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush". I guess those would be inconvenient truths.

Now we can all hope that this win prompts Gore to enter the presidential race and give Hillary a serious run for her money. Wouldn't that be entertaining....

UPDATE: Powerline reminds us of some of the past winners and suggests Al Gore fits right in:

2005
MOHAMED ELBARADEI (joint winner). He's done such a nice job with Iran.

2004
Wangari Maathai. The Kenyan ecologist peacefully teaches that the AIDS virus is a biological agent deliberately created by the Man.

2002
JIMMY CARTER JR., former President of the United States of America. A true cosmopolitan, he has undermined the foreign policy of his own country and vouched for the bona fides of tyrants and murderers all over the world.

2001
UNITED NATIONS, New York, NY, USA.
KOFI ANNAN, United Nations Secretary General. Among other things, respectively served as the vehicle for, and presided over, one of the biggest scams in history.

1994
YASSER ARAFAT (joint winner), Chairman of the Executive Committee of the PLO, President of the Palestinian National Authority for his efforts to create peace in the Middle East. A cold-blooded murderer before and after receiving the award.

1992
RIGOBERTA MENCHU TUM, Guatemala. Faker and author, sort of, of I, Rigoberta Menchu.

1988
THE UNITED NATIONS PEACE-KEEPING FORCES New York, NY, U.S.A. Notwithstanding rapes and sex abuse committed by the team in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and the Congo, still doing fine work all over the world.

And then there's this:

Gore Wins Nobel Prize, High Court Gives It to Bush

And the Telegraph is not much of a fan either:

So Al Gore is the joint winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Admittedly, he has to share it with the United Nations’ climate change panel - but, even so, I think we need to declare an international smugness alert.

The former US Vice-President has already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt Yank on the planet. Can you imagine what he'll be like now that the Norwegian Nobel committee has given him the prize?
