Guess: Playing Politics w/Nobel Peace Prize

Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize…Peace? He has enlightened us all with his globe-trotting jetfuel trails yelling about co2 emissions. What a hypocrite. The left-wingnuts hold him up like a false god to rub. The Pike Street Market hog might bring better luck. He lost the election by the law. His awareness of a potential problem is good, but not the Peace Prize. There must have been others. (from the nytimes: “The Nobel prizes are meant to be apolitical, and are awarded independently of one another. (The peace prize is awarded in Oslo, while the others are awarded by various academies in Sweden.) But a number of recent winners have expressed their opposition to Bush administration policies. The 2005 literature winner, the British playwright Harold Pinter, turned his Nobel address into a blistering indictment of American foreign policy since the Second World War. A co-winner of the peace prize that year, Mohamed ElBaradei, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made no secret of his opposition to the American invasion of Iraq and has angered the Bush administration by his measured methods for trying to rein in nuclear proliferation, particularly in Iran.”
