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.” 

Even as Mr. Gore was being stripped of his Nobel, he  received strong words 
of support from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary  Clinton, who said 
that the former vice president’s Nobel win “shows that he is  devoting his life 
to the right thing and should definitely stay the course.”  

In an interview with reporters in Iowa, Sen. Clinton said that “Al Gore  
should remain dedicated to the cause of global climate change, at least through  
November of 2008.” 

Sen. Clinton suggested that Mr. Gore could further  research the source of 
global warming by immediately boarding a rocket ship to  the sun.
