(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Former Vice-President Al Gore, who was featured in the acclaimed film "AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH" is the recipient of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Gore was Democratic nominee for President in the 2000 election, remembered as one of the most controversial races in the nation's history. After a series of voting discrepancies and Supreme Court challenges in Florida, the state's final ruling on Bush v. Gore halted ongoing ballot recounts, giving George W. Bush the electoral college victory, and the presidency. Today, Gore is the president of the American television channel Current TV. The group won the Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Television award at the 2007 Primetime Emmys. Here is Al Gore's acceptance speech, the video is below the published story. "I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This award is even more meaningful because I have the honor of sharing it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- the world's pre-eminent scientific body devoted to improving our understanding of the climate crisis -- a group whose members have worked tirelessly and selflessly for many years. We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level. My wife, Tipper, and I will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the award to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan non-profit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion in the U.S. and around the world about the urgency of solving the climate crisis."

Some will sleep with the devil if he if he tells them what they want to hear. Gore is no less a self serving hypocrite than Bush or the rest. Gore pollutes more than 90% of us. They are all clowns.

The American Dream made America Great. And it was destroyed not by AlQaeda, but by Bush Cheney. All we need today is for Gore to run again and to make the entire world a better place. One hour after his inauguration: the world would LOVE America again. And America could start healing again. What it so desperately needs.

How the world might now be a different place but for the outcome in 2000...

Congrats to him! He is someone our country can actually be proud of. It is a refreshing change!

Just think if makeup masked Katherine Harris had not been allowed to corrupt the 2000 election in Florida this country would have been spared the gross corruption, cronyism and harms to its very core fabric over the pasy 7 years. The woman deserves a particularly vile place in the afterlife to atone for her heinous acts in life. Ah well...
