Nobel Peace Prize announcement sends "Conservatives" into GROUP-TANTRUM... because it goes to Vice President & Global Ambassador Al Gore.

Why 'they freakin'-out, Ma?

"Conservatives" FEAR
Al Gore's competence
and credibility.

The Nobel Institute [?] doesn't have prizes for: Incompetent Leadership, Lying & Fake Wars, or Destabilizing the World... So George Bush won't be gettin' any Nobel Prizes -- Get used to it!

In an L.A. Times op-ed, Jonathan Chait explains how, to Conservatives, AL GORE'S SUCCESS(es) is (are) a reminder of GEORGE W. BUSH'S FAILURE(s).

Indeed, in the political culture, Gore's role is as a negative indicator of the president's standing. For all the talk of a "new Al Gore," there's nothing new about the man. His public reputation is almost entirely a function of Bush's. [...]

The defensiveness of Gore's critics comes because he is the ultimate rebuke to Bush.

Gore, obviously, is the great historic counter-factual, the man who would have been president if Florida had a functioning ballot system. More than that, he is the anti-Bush**. He is intellectual and introverted, while Bush is simplistic and backslapping.

In the title of this post I added Global Ambassador to Gore's title -- just to BLOW A GASKET, in case any "monkeys" happened by the Juncture... 'happens more than you think. Monkey-mail... We gets it, Herb.

**Technically George Bush would be the "anti-Gore"; and NOT vice/versa. But yeah, we knew whatcha meant -- [Whatchamas-tryin'tosay, mang.]
