So Al Gore won a Nobel peace prize. The NY Times of course is delighted.
Of course, the Times says nothing about the fact that Mr. Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth", is full of errors. And what about the fact that some argue that this award, by the Nobel committee, really amounts to a political statement? Why, the Times' editors simply...admit it:
"There will also be those who complain that this prize — like the committee’s earlier awards to Jimmy Carter and the chief United Nations nuclear inspector, Mohamed ElBaradei — is an intentional slap at President Bush. It should be. We only wish that it would finally wake up the president."
So liberals choose to give an award to a liberal, and we're to be impressed? Wow.
