Gore Wins Nobel Prize, High Court Gives It to Bush
by Scott Ott
(2007-10-12) - Although former Vice President Al Gore won the Nobel
Peace Prize this week for his work as a global-warming performance
artist, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early today that President George
Bush would receive the gold medal, the diploma and the $750,000.
Mr. Bush, who was narrowly defeated by Mr. Gore in the 2000 presidential
election, thanked Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito "for swinging
the vote my way, and helping me to join the pantheon of great Nobel
laureates like Jimmy Carter and the late Yassir Arafat who together
brought peace to the middle east."
Mr. Gore could not be reached for comment as he was returning from Oslo,
Norway, in a private jet. However, his spokesman said that his efforts
to bring peace on earth speak for themselves.
"Thanks to Al Gore's movies, speeches and books," said the unnamed
spokesman, "Terrorists and tyrants around the world will soon lay aside
the weapons of war and give peace a chance by working together to
develop a hybrid car that runs on cheap, clean-burning gunpowder."
