Nobel Laureate George W. Bush?

In These Times is at a crossroads and we urgently need your support. Will you help us raise $50,000 by the end of the week?

Former Vice President Al Gore received his Nobel Peace Prize on Monday. (Read excerpts of his acceptance speech.) The next day, in a surprising move, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to revoke the Nobel and award it to George W. Bush instead. Justices cited peace in Florida's electoral process as the reason for their decision.
