So Al shares the Nobel Peace prize for his work in the film “An Inconvenient Truth“. What a guy! I’ll always remember my 52nd birthday as the same day this esteemed peacemaker who changed the world – literally transforming it into a garden of peace, love an understanding – with just a roll of celluloid finally received his due. He couldn’t win his own state back in 2000 – hence the freakin’ mess that resulted both immediately afterwards and, arguably, for the last seven years – but dammit, he’s good enough for the folks in Norway.

And that’s good enough for me. So congratulations, Al – never has anyone done so little to get so much acclaim for something so unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

Oh, but it’s not just me pouring accolades on Tipper’s husband, the always on target Mark Levin offers this stirring tribute:

“I’d like to add my name to those congratulating Al Gore for his peace prize. Frankly, I can’t think of anyone who has done more to bring peace to this world – from Rwanda to the Sudan, from Burma to North Korea – than Al Gore. And what a selfless man. He always avoids media attention, preferring to direct accolades to the little people who do all the heavy lifting behind the scenes. And like Mother Teresa, Al Gore eschews materialism and luxury, despite his enormous wealth from oil and technology stocks. I hear tell that he insists on flying older private jets to his six-figure speeches. What a guy! I just wish there was another honor somebody could bestow on Al Gore — as long as it’s not president.”
