Gore follows in the footsteps of Carter and Arafat   [Tom Gross]

And he’s done it. I've just watched the announcement live on TV on various channels.

It’s not the first time those (un)wise people at the Nobel committee have given the Nobel “Peace” Prize to a left-wing politician – other recent recipients include Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat.

While Gore isn't in the category of putting back peace, as Carter and Arafat clearly are, it is not quite clear what he has done to advance peace.

Please also see my earlier post on Media Blog: Al Gore’s inconvenient judgment.
