Quote from the Times
.
"This is one prize the Supreme Court won't be able to take away from him. The five votes of a committee in Oslo yesterday awarded Al Gore the world's most exalted award, the Nobel peace prize, finally putting to rest the votes of the five judges who stripped him of Florida in 2000 and kept him from the White House.
.
It was the last laugh for a man who has, until recently, trod a lonely path to engage American opinion with the looming crisis of climate change and who was ridiculed by the benefactor of that supreme court judgment in 2000, George Bush, as "ozone man".
.
If seven years ago Mr Gore suffered his annus horribilis, this year is undoubtedly his annus miraculous -
.
February: Oscar for his film An Inconvenient Truth;
.
September: Emmy for his Current TV channel;
.
October: Nobel peace prize. "
