*Supreme Court Gives Gore=12s Nobel to Bush*


     Stunning Reversal for Former Veep


Just days after former Vice President Al Gore received the Nobel Peace
Prize for his efforts on global warming, the United States Supreme Court
handed Mr. Gore a stunning reversal, stripping him of his Nobel and
awarding it to President George W. Bush instead.

For Mr. Gore, who basked in the adulation of the Nobel committee and the
world, the high court=12s decision to give his prize to President Bush was
a cruel twist of fate, to say the least.

But in a 5-4 decision, the justices made it clear that they had taken
the unprecedented step of stripping Mr. Gore of his Nobel because
President Bush deserved it more.

=13It is true that Al Gore has done a lot of talking about global
warming,=14 wrote Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority. =13But
President Bush has actually helped create global warming.....
