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.”

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.
