Bush invites Gore to White House Nobel ceremony
by David Nitkin

It should be interesting inside the White House on Monday, when the contestants in the close-as-can-be 2000 presidential election come face to face.

The White House announced today that President Bush will host and congratulate Nobel Prize winners from the U.S. on Monday.

No doubt that Bush is looking forward to meeting Leonid Hurwicz, Eric S. Maskin and Roger B. Myerson, who won the 2007 prize for economics. Two of the three medicine prize winners are also U.S. citizens.

But an inconvenient truth is that most of the public's attention will be paid to Al Gore, the former vice president who shared the Peace Prize with a group of scientists working under the auspices of the United Nations for research into global climate change.

The Bush administration has come under criticism for not taking prompt action to control greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Chances are if Gore raises the issue with the president whom he narrowly lost to when the U.S. Supreme Court decided that Florida's electoral votes should go to Bush, he'll be leaving the PowerPoint demonstration in Nashville.

David Nitkin covers the White House for the Baltimore Sun, a Tribune Co. newspaper.

:grr: I hope he doesn't go.

In his own way as a true gentleman of course. It isn't Bush's house anyway. Although, I think he was scheduled to go to Israel regarding An Inconvenient Truth this month, so he may not be able to make it.

:wow:

in the WH, especially with this stupid man who stole the presidency.

Gore will be far more gracious than I ever would be, and at least doubly classy as the pipsqueak who issued the invitation. But there is a part of me that wishes when the "grip-and-grin" photo is taken, that Gore would put his left hand up behind Chimpy's head and give him the devil's horns.

But it would be very wrong even to think about doing that. Very wrong.

So he may or may not decide to stop off in Washington DC before then.

a couple years ago.

Bush must wonder why these Dem "losers" keep getting famous awards. He's going to get hounded with lawsuits after he leaves office, assuming he does.

Just to see the two of them standing side by side will show how fate works. Bush got what he deserved... NO LEGACY, and so has Mr. Gore... A TRUE LEGACY as he has now shown the world that grace, dignity, honor, and intelligence truly do make you a winner above all the rhetoric. It will also show that while Bush will always be thought of in the PAST TENSE, Al Gore will always be considered a visionary who looked to the future and worled to make it better. I couldn't be prouder of this man and more proud to be a supporter of his. He has shown us all what having true character is all about.
