Within hours of being awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, conservative pundits began complaining that former Vice-President Al Gore was exaggerating his accomplishments. While Gore announced he was "deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize" he will share with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in a statement Friday, FOX News was abuzz with talk of how the Prize is overhyped.
    "He didn't win anything from the Nobel Prize committee," said right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh. "At best it would be accurate to say he won half of a Nobel Prize. And really, they didn't win so much as they were gifted the award. It's simple welfare from the notorious socialist state of Norway, if you want the truth of it. The nerve of this guy."  Continued Limbaugh, "We have plenty of scientists willing to claim that there is no scientific evidence this man has done anything to positively affect the global climate."
    "I can't believe Gore is now going to take credit for creating the heavens and the earth," said notable right wing blogger and National Review contributor, Michelle Malkin. "This guy has the biggest god complex ever."
