Al Gore Stripped of Peace Prize

Supreme Court Gives Gore’s Nobel to Bush
Stunning Reversal for Former Veep

Just days after former Vice President Al Gore received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts on global warming, the United States Supreme Court handed Mr. Gore a stunning reversal, stripping him of his Nobel and awarding it to President George W. Bush instead.

For Mr. Gore, who basked in the adulation of the Nobel committee and the world, the high court’s decision to give his prize to President Bush was a cruel twist of fate, to say the least.

But in a 5-4 decision, the justices made it clear that they had taken the unprecedented step of stripping Mr. Gore of his Nobel because President Bush deserved it more.

“It is true that Al Gore has done a lot of talking about global warming,” wrote Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority. “But President Bush has actually helped create global warming.”

Even as Mr. Gore was being stripped of his Nobel, he received strong words of support from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who said that the former vice president’s Nobel win “shows that he is devoting his life to the right thing and should definitely stay the course.”

In an interview with reporters in Iowa, Sen. Clinton said that “Al Gore should remain dedicated to the cause of global climate change, at least through November of 2008.”

Sen. Clinton suggested that Mr. Gore could further research the source of global warming by immediately boarding a rocket ship to the sun.

Absurd to say the least.

Bush "created" global warming?

Now, I believe I've heard it all.............or, perhaps not.

Nobody in the USA (not even the supteme court) has the power or the authority to over rule the Nobel Prize committee.

I have no idea who Andy Borowitz is but he is clearly talking complete nonsense.

If that is "humour" you could have fooled me. I don't see anything remotely humorous about it. Stupid yes, humorous no.

Awww, and here I thought the title might be true. I knew it was a spoof when Bush's name was mentioned, but it woulda been cool to see the buffoon Gore get stripped of his peace prize awarded for inaccurate fear mongering.

Fear mongering aside - He did get through to people and companies.

suckers. The supreme court has no bearing upon who gets any Nobel prize. And if the Nobel committee wouldn't take it away from Arafat, how do you figure they could take it from anybody else?
