WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Friday praised former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and the U.N. climate panel for winning the Nobel Peace Prize for their work to raise awareness of the threat of global warming.

"Of course we're happy for Vice President Gore and the IPCC for receiving this recognition," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said, referring to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the award with Gore.

Gore, a Democrat, has been a vocal critic of the environmental policies of President George W. Bush, a Republican who beat him narrowly in a disputed presidential election result in 2000.

At a White House-convened summit last month, some of the world's biggest greenhouse polluters called Bush "isolated" and questioned his leadership on the problem of global warming.

Bush has rejected the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that sets limits on industrial nations' greenhouse gas emissions, and instead favours voluntary targets to curb emissions.

Since leaving office in 2001, Gore has lectured extensively on the threat of global warming. In a statement on Friday, he said the climate crisis was "our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level."

1. A meme that won't die.

Bush didn't beat Gore in 2000.

Bush was pushed through by Delay's henchmen
and corrupt judges.

[saracat]

2. "Of course they are happy " that Gore receives this recognition.Yeah right.

because Bush is such a classy guy.:sarcasm: Eat dirt George, and you are not really president either!

11. republicons lie about everything, including this

One must take a very Wide Stance on their statements

3. I'm sure they're choking on their own bile today. n/t

[Cirque du So-What]

4. Yeah, but will we ever hear those words

emerge from Chimpolini's own pie hole? I expect not. I don't believe he has the dignity to say those words himself.

[book_worm]

5. Poor Georgie, if there was an award which recognizes those who promote war and destruction you'd be

shoo-in.

[YOY]

6. Oh but there is! In a round about way...

The Darwin Awards.

7. LIAR LIAR LIAR AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN.

[spanone]

9. what else can they say, i bet cheney had a few choice 'private words'

[Solly Mack]

10. Yeah..they're happy. And they don't torture either

[Supersedeas]

12. isolated and questionable leadership -- Boosh is best at something

[flordehinojos]

13. how can they be happy? they refute everything Gore says about the environment.

Gore's Nobel Prize is and endorsement of Gore's views, perspectives, facts, on the environment. if bush and his goons were truthful they would be saying how much Gore's prize feels like a slap on their faces to them! Ma and Pa Bush can't be too happy about Gore's win.

15. bull !

(allowing myself to steal this pix from another poster in another thread) ... let us all look at the bullshitter's true reaction to Gore's Peace Prize:

[opihimoimoi]

16. Happy???? More like AGONY.......

[rpannier]

17. If by happy you mean

the bile is still burning their throats...Then yeah the WH is happy.

Although, it is quite possible (with the dimbulbs in this administration) that they think the Nobel Prize is some cooking award.

[WinkyDink]

18. "Happy" is a completely inappropriate, tone-deaf, psychopath term. The word is "PROUD", as a FELLOW

AMERICAN and FORMER VICE-PRESIDENT has been so HONORED.

[Javaman]

19. bush* the anti-Gore.

moron* turns everything he touches into shit, Gore has compassion and insight.

moron* is a loathsome hate fulled jerk, Gore is optimistic.

I could go on and on.
