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.”

1. Jesus, in a sick way, that's pretty funny. SNL could have a field day with a sketch on those lines.

7. Is that satire, or didn't you see the show last night? Weekend update

3. Apparently SCOTUS had nothing to do with it!

Bush in his weekly radio address stated that the "Nobel Prize was given" to him!

5. I don't believe it. Sorry.
Since when does Bush pronounce it "terror"? He ALWAYS says "terra"!
