Anointed!
Gore enNobeled! This gives me a warm, globby feeling inside!
Unelect him again in ‘08!
UPDATE: Thanks to Think Progress for pointing out this great Fox-NY Post exchange on how Petraeus should have gotten the Nobel … for leading an army that is fighting for peace and accomplishing it.
How did he do it?

Jules,
yet another attempt by Europeans to interfere with the American elections. Sigh.
They keep trying to work with the liberals to bring back the aristocracy, despite our having smacked it down solidly during the civil war.
At least one English judge, however, is pointing out that the emperor has no clothes.
Respects,

He’s anointed alright!
I liked this, from the Daily Telegraph:
“Climate change is a threat to the environment, not to “peace” and international order. The prize has gone to some sleazy recipients in the past, but at least you can make a case that their actions staved off bloodshed.”

I’d say that Alfred Nobel is spinning in his grave, and perhaps wishing that he’d used his fortune to improve explosives, and not fund a collection of Euroweenies foisting themselves as experts on “peace”.

Forgvie us, Jules, for acting like cybersluts, but I think this post captures it:

The Nobel Peace Prize was discredited when Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat won it. At this late date, giving it to Al Gore is worth a shrug and a yawn.

If we just put these people in charge, we’ll never have to hear any of this nonsense about controlling the weather again.
Afraid to try it? Me too.

Sharing the prize with the Goracle is a crowd over at “The UN”, the IPCC, intergovernmental panel on climate change.
There was some controversy in the issuance of this report (and an earlier one ?) as some participating scientists took issue with the report’s contentions and conclusions and refused to have their names appended to the final version.
Meanwhile, AlGore didn’t dump all kinds of extra carbon into the atmosphere yesterday by flying (private jet) to Sweden, but can be expected to in the near future to “accept” the prize.
AlGore was able to fly to Babsy Boxer’s “do” in CA.

Tanstaafl, if you look at it in the right frame of mind it becomes clear as a bell, there was no category in science for non scientists so they had to squeeze him into the nearest category that had no current meaning and that was the Jimmuh Cahteh category. That also covers the political machine called the IPCC.
The peace prize is no longer functional because the committee can’t come to grips with the fact that there is more to the definition of peacemaker than non-warriors would have it to be.
Apologies for phrasing awkwardly I am.

Surely this will satisfy Gore for not attaining his birthright–the presidency. He’s now gotten all the consolation prizes one could hope for.
For any Nobel prize to go to a bunch of Luddites just boggles the mind. I agree with TRJ: Nobel is spinning in his grave.

Carter was a submarine officer, apparently at some point essential to the deployment of nuclear weapons against well meaning radical egalitarians who we should have been talking to instead of trying to intimidate. And Gore by his own admission manned the perimeter at night in Vietnam and fired his weapon indiscrimately into the jungle at poor progressive peasants who were fighting their own civil war.
Recall in the ‘04 election we were instructed that what you did in the Vietnam War was the source of all your moral crediblity. I wonder how exactly those activities promote “peace” in left-world Nobel Prize groupthink? They must have been using the Arafat model.

“Surely this will satisfy Gore for not attaining his birthright–the presidency.”
I see Al as somewhat lacking in confidence and not exactly of the birthright/presidency mindset.
He probably did figure that he paid his dues during all those years of Bill’s tenure and just might be the guy next in line, but he really doesn’t believe in himself.
Anybody who believed in himself wouldn’t be clinging to the shards of Hollow-wood’s adulation or the completely flawed “science” of An Inconvenient Truth
And anybody who believed in his particular version of the GW shtick couldn’t possibly be jetting around the planet the way Al does.
His own hypocrisy gives him away and reveals his shallowness.

T, thankya sure I am :p.
VoC, when Algore was on the perimeter, was the lead fired from his pencil or his fountain pen? And the only credibility that I got from ‘Nam was to be labeled a Swift Boater. Swift…. The fastest that the destroyer I was on got up to was 33.5 kts. Swift indeed.

This is the 412th consecutive international triumph of the bottom rung of junk science.
What bothers me is not that it happens - of course it happens - but that the process is so damned inefficient. Dare I hope that these redundant eminences will, one day, all get together, grab whatever testicles they can collectively muster and short-circuit the process by simultaneously awarding the Nobel Peace Prize and all related prizes to the archetype and umbrella of their heroes, Chicken Little.

tanstaafl, Gore came from a political family and I have no doubt that daddy had big plans. Gore does have an inferiority complex, tis true, but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t think that he had a right to the presidency. Not only didn’t he get it, but he let daddy down as well. The only man with an anger as deep is Carter.
Frankly, I think we’ve grown a political class that feels as privileged by right as any Bourbon aristocrat. I’d like to see some new blood, but if Obama is any example, eh.

Re: update, yup, that’s a good example of other (more viable) candidates for the “Peace” prize.
