Goriffic Scenes

Andrew Gumbel gets a little too excited over Al Gore's enviro-popularity in The Independent.

Here's a scenario that sounds like it could only be invented in Hollywood. Al Gore wins an Oscar this weekend for his documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Later this year, he is the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to raise awareness of global warming. At which point, why shouldn't he also run for president?

It's a scenario that has crossed more than a few minds in Hollywood this week...
An Oscar, a Nobel Peace Prize? Surely the next step is Presidency!

Why have the people (what do they know, anyway?) approve of your candidacy, when Hollywood and the Nobel Committee already have?
