Duct Tape Alert: Gore and the Nobel Prize

From The Sunday Times

THE environmental campaigner Al Gore is being tipped as a favourite to win the Nobel peace prize in Oslo this Friday in a controversial move that could place saving the planet above saving people from war and conflict.

The law of unintended consequences: The usual Democrat socialist-pig credo.

Gore, a former American vice-president and failed presidential candidate, has reinvented himself as the “Goracle” with a rock star following after presenting last year’s Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, about the dangers of climate change.

David Koresh had a "rock-star" following too.

He was nominated for the Nobel prize jointly with Sheila Watt-Cloutier, a Canadian Inuit activist who has campaigned about the effect of climate change on Arctic peoples.

“A prerequisite for winning the Nobel peace prize is making a difference and Al Gore has made a difference,” said Boerge Brende, a former Norwegian environment minister who nominated Gore and Watt-Cloutier.
You have got to be kidding me. Gore..making a difference? If lining his pockets with carbon-credit-cash bought by the friggin lemmings that believe this shit, then yeah, he has made a big difference. In fact I bet he is planning on expanding his house with the "difference" he has made...then buying his own offsets to make up for all the electricity he needs to use to run it.


“I think they are likely winners this year,” said Stein Toennesson, director of Oslo’s International Peace Research Institute. The winner will receive $1.5m (£750,000) in prize money.

Gore spent last year assessing whether he ought to run for the White House in 2008, teasing his supporters by saying, “I haven’t completely ruled it out”, and prompting observers to keep a close eye on his girth for signs that he was slimming for a presidential bid.


Oh, please....run alGore, run...please...run.

Some commentators in America, including the British writer Christopher Hitchens, believe he could use a Nobel win to challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

“Can he stand to watch another Clinton walk away with a nomination that could have been, or could still be, his?” Hitchens asked. Close supporters believe the answer is yes. Gore appears to have concluded that the Democrats are satisfied with their candidates.



There just aren't enough words to describe my "WTF" moment I am having after reading this. I guess the hippies are truly ensconced in positions of authority in entities that were once held in high esteem. Nobel prize for Gore...c'mon people; a prize for schlepping an ideology that is not proven, lining his pockets with cash from it all the while not doing a damn thing that he preaches.

So fuck off.

It just proves to me something that I have been thinking for some time. Basically a Nobel peace prize like this, the piece of paper and whatever trophy they hand out for it are about as important to me as the toilet paper that I use to wipe shit off my ass. It is about as impressive as an ivy league shingle now a days.


I imagine that the assclown will win his prize, and his head will grow even larger to match the proportions of his fat ass. I will give alGore some credit for reducing global warming: He kills a lot of cows, thus reducing cow farts, to feed his fat ass cheeseburgers all day.


Geezus this world is full of fucking idiots.


P.S.
Sorry for the recent absence. Work has been absolutely nuts these past few weeks, thus raging about stoopid people took a back seat for awhile.
