Is GW Man Enough To Congratulate Al Publicly

[Me.]

or will aides have to carry his all hat/no cattle water?

[npincus]

1. I say not until he's asked.

[meegbear]

2. It'll be a backhanded compliment at best

[youthere]

3. nope.

I'll bet if it comes up in a question at a presser the response will be a canned "We're very happy for Mr. Gore's success".

[rodeodance]

4. Fratto, who said he did not know of plans for Bush to make a congratulatory call to Gore.

CLEARWATER, Fla., Oct 12 (Reuters) - The White House praised former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and the U.N. climate panel on Friday for winning the Nobel Peace Prize for their work to raise awareness of the threat of global warming.

"The president learned about it this morning," said White House spokesman Tony Fratto, who is traveling with Bush in Florida. "Of course he's happy for Vice President Gore and happy for the international panel on climate change scientists who also shared the peace prize."

"Obviously, it's an important recognition and we're sure the vice president is thrilled," added Fratto, who said he did not know of plans for Bush to make a congratulatory call to Gore.

Bush disagrees with many of the solutions Gore has offered to climate change. But Fratto said he did not see the prize as sending a message to Washington.

5. He's probably in his jammies, under his desk

nursing a pout and a gin and tonic over the prize. He knows he will NEVER be nominated, and I hope he chokes on the gall pushing it's way up his throat.

6. Yes n/t

[Me.]

8. In This Lifetime? n/t

[Zywiec]

10. Why didn't you just tell people what answer you were looking for?

I think Bush will have to acknowledge all the US winners of the prize. It's as simple as that.

[Me.]

16. My Opinion Was Formed After Hearing An Aide Deliver The Congrats

Thus, unless asked at a presser I don't think he will. He could call privately. I'll wait and see on that one.

[otohara]

7. Then He Would Have to Admit

something about peace and global warming being connected somehow and that does not compute in his tiny brain.

[Bake]

9. HA! Of course not.

Which will be typical of the pathetic little frat boy.

11. I had to read the thread title several times before I realized what you were asking.

"GW" and "man enough" should never appear with less than ten words between them. Otherwise nonsense and adsurdity result.

[Dinger]

12. He'd Have To Be Human First

Just like Red, In Shawshank Redemption said.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. primate maybe but not human?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. No.

He might "congratulate" Al Gore publically, but not because he's man enough.

[book_worm]

15. "my old adversary Al Gore, and I give him credit, got the (hee-hee) Novel Pee Prize and

he now joins Jimmy Carter in the list of defeated democrat candidates who've been given it." (That will be his public congratulations to Al Gore).

[Canuckistanian]

17. The statement already made today will be all

Nobody expects civility or good sportsmanship from this petulant simian.
