Al Gore Called Away Unexpectedly for 'Exciting and Urgent Mission'
Thursday , October 11, 2007
A simple phone call by Al Gore to Sen. Barbara Boxer's office has touched off widespread speculation that the former vice president is getting ready to make an even bigger splash — perhaps as a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
The politician-turned-environmental-crusader contacted the California Democrat to beg out of a Thursday fundraising event for her, where he was to headline alongside musicians Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, the political blog SFGate.com reported.

In a note sent to event supporters and posted on the blog, Boxer wrote: "I just got a call from Vice President Al Gore. He told me that he needs to travel abroad tomorrow for an exciting and urgent mission that could result in a major breakthrough in the fight against global warming."
The San Francisco fundraiser has been postponed until Nov. 9, but speculation is rife that Gore's next public appearance could be in Oslo, Norway, where the Nobel Peace Prize is to be awarded on Friday.

Rush said he’s off today because he has to travel to a speech he’s giving in Philadelphia.
Let’s face it, the Goron has it lined up. Personally, I’d be more than delighted if Rush won, because he promised to run for President if he did! :-).
If he really believed in his cause, he would have the prize shipped to him, instead of burning up hundreds of gallons of fuel flying overseas.
“What does a bogus global warming campaign”
Hey! Leave me outa this. I’m not campaigning for anything, but I used to know a guy by the name of Volvano!
The Doc
It is a slap in the face to people actually pursuing peace in the world to give it to folks like Jimmah Cahtah, and Yassir (that's my baby) Arafat. It's even MORE so to give it to someone who hasn't done a blessed thing for world peace, but only pushed fear about imminent global destruction for his own and his friends' monetary benefit.
Show it all the respect it deserves; NONE!
“His Royal Goreliness is headed down INTO the volcano, folks.”
Nope! He’s headed down into the volvano.
And here I thought it might be to get some Tucks for Shrillery.
Alfred Nobel, after seeing his invention, dynamite, used in war, decided to establish a monetary award to someone who worked to encourage peace instead of war. I believe he set it up using his profits from the production of dynamite. It was to assuage his own guilt.
His estate ponied up the dough for the prize.
Many Republicans have tirelessly rebutted this crap and taken a lot of grief for doing so.
That's correct. The Nobel Peace Prize has become a laughingstock and although the snobs who award the thing still take themselves seriously the rest of the world simply looks away in embarrassment. Most people today realize that the silly, vain little mice who award the prize are only using the once-reputable award as a way to make their own selfish politicial statements.

“Excelsior!!!!”......”I did it. I killed ManBearPig. I’ve saved the Earth from certain destruction. Everyone is Super-Stoked on me, even if they don’t know it.”
Gore was born exactly 9 months after the Roswell incident.
Coincidence?
[’Exciting and Urgent Mission’]
Yup, the ex lax finally kicked in.
The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded by the United Nations, with Jimmy Carter as their new SecGen, Ahmadinejad as their Human Rights Secretary and OJ as the head of their Security Council.
That way, one bomb will do em all.
I don’t know. What is the gestation time for an alien baby?
???
He needs the prize money just to pay for his electric bill.
I bet it is Global Cooling..
