BREAKING: SCOTUS Declares Bush the Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Oslo: A review of the ballots in the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize has shown that George W. Bush is the winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. James Baker III has been sent by the Bush Administration to coordinate efforts on the ground. The United States Supreme Court in a surprise vote of 5 to 4 have declared George W. Bush the winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, stated that "allowing Al Gore to win the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize violates the spirit and intent of the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Consitution." Justice Alito was joined in the majority decision by Justices Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, and Chief Justice Roberts.

In a strongly worded dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg stated "This court has no jurisdiction over the Norwegian Nobel Committee and thus cannot award the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize to President George W. Bush." Ginsburg was joined in her dissent by Justices Breyer and Stevens.

In a separate Dissenting Opinion, Justice Souter wrote, "This is just stupid. I quit."

The Department of Homeland Security have now staked out Gore's Tennessee home in order to detain him until after the prize is awarded next month. James Baker III will be in attendence at the awards ceremony to receive the award in the former vice president's absence.

Another Supreme Court decision
Tom K

In a similarly stunning 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President George W Bush may instead accept the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize for his great contribution to peace, stability and happiness in Iraq.

White House Press Secretary expressed thanks to the Supreme Court and to the Nobel Committee on hehalf of the President and indicates that the President is prepared to carry out his God-given destiny of extending peace and stability to Iran.

4. As opposed to another DU'r who was CERTAIN Gore wouldn't win, I'd almost bet that this would be a

more likely outcome in the future...

7. No, No, No(shakes head).... Bush won the 'Dumbell Fleece Prize'... Big Difference

The 'Dumbell Fleece Prize' given on an irregular basis to individuals who exhibit a total lack of intelligence AND common sense in the process of exploiting Americans at home and citizens abroad on behalf of corrupt corporations/warprofiteers.

non-rich multitudes of this country.
