It seems that Vito Fossella doesn't have much to do these days being part of the minority in Congress. Now he spends all of his time attacking needy children, the priorities of New Yorkers and now Al Gore. Like the good conservative lackey that he is, Vito followed in the steps of Hannity and Kristol to diminish the Nobel Peace Prize and the reason why Al Gore won it.
From Newshounds:
Republican Congressman Vito Fossella at least had the good manners to congratulate Gore. But in a more delicate way, he also criticized Gore and the prize. “What calls to me is this notion of, I think, diluting what the Nobel Peace Prize is.” Fossella reiterated Hannity’s complaint that Gorbachev and Arafat had won and then named what he thought were obviously better candidates. “I would think people like the United States Air Force or the Marine Corps that brings about peace in this world or Ronald Reagan who was denied it. I think it dilutes what it all means and it calls into question what it’s all about. Are there legitimate issues that the vice president has raised over time? Yes, but I do think the American people deserve more truth.
I agree with Vito on that last point, Americans do deserve more truth. That truth certainly won't come from Fossella or any of his cohorts. They consistently twist facts to fit their delusional take on the world, whether it is about the economy or climate change. Peace does not come from the weapons of war, to even explain the ridiculousness of that statement is pointless. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see through their hare-brained ideas.
