Seeing Al Gore so deservedly share the Nobel Peace Prize, it is impossible not to note the contrast in his leadership and that of George W. Bush.
Gore and Bush each faced a crucible moment. For Gore, it was winning the popular vote and having the election taken away from him by a Republican-dominated Supreme Court. For Bush, it was the shocking terrorist attack on 9/11.
Gore lost the presidency, but in the dignity and grace with which he gave up his legal fight, he united America. Then, faced with what to do with the rest of his life, he took up a personal crusade to combat climate change, even though the odds were stacked against him, his soapbox was small, his audiences were measured in hundreds, and his critics were legion. Nevertheless, Gore stuck with it and over time has played a central role in building a global consensus for action on this issue.

LOL, Friedman is such a left wing patsy.
So this clown measures success by how many people show up at Gore’s rallies?
What an idiot. Gore is a one trick pony...any moron can see that...except this writer.
The source... post-intellegence... perfect name.
Nothing says dignity & grace like applauding the fact that the military votes were thrown out.
Friedman: in the dignity and grace with which he gave up his legal fight, he united America.
What an absolute LIE AND HOOT. He gave up his legal fight after the phoney enviromentalist put this nation through three-four weeks of hell. Al Gore is rotten to the core.
In that case, it would appear that we’ve been blaming the wrong guy for the mess. We should be blaming Gore.
Gore is a nutcase and should be in a strait jacket instead of running around spreading BS and polluting the atmosphere.
..."in dignity & grace which he gave up his legal fight, he...u-u-united America"...**snicker**snort**
bwahahahahaha, I just couldn't keep in the laughter. Thanks, Friedman for your hilarious comedy piece today.
What's that, Tommy-boy? You weren't writing a comedy piece?
barf bag! barf bag!! *hurrlssss*
How does Gore do anything, he is always running for the bathroom because he drinks too much iced tea. His words, folks, not mine.
Does more damage to the USA, maybe.
This piece drove right past absurdity and crashed into comedy...
I had to!
“What an idiot. Gore is a one trick pony...any moron can see that...except this writer.”
WHAT??? He also invented the internet. LOL
Dignity and grace? you mean like this:
I stopped right there!
