"They
awarded the peace prize to Al Gore. This is the latest in a series of awards Al
Gore's won and I haven't -- an Emmy, an Oscar, he even won his matchup on
kittenwar.com. Now, some people see Gore's latest honor as a sign that he
should run for president. I see it as tonight's 'Word.'
Enviro-medal disaster.
Al Gore is rapidly depleting one of the earth's most precious resources --
awards
[on screen: Melting Prize Caps].
The man is plowing through our
prizescape like an unstoppable bulldozer of acclaim. Every day another
precious, irreplaceable acre of trophies disappears into his gaping maw, never
to be seen again
[on screen: 'Daddy, What Were The Latin Grammys?'].
At his
current rate of accolade consumption, there will be nothing left for our
grandchildren to win
[on screen: Except 'Most Submerged'].
If we care about the
future of our Golden Globe, we must slow down the Gore juggernaut, or Goreggernaut.
The only way to do that is to stop thinking he's so great. And that only way to
do that is to stop thinking President Bush is so terrible
[on screen: Stop
Thinking?].
Gore's not the only one who deserves an award. Don't our children
deserve a few? And doesn't our president deserve just one?
[on screen: Nobel
War Prize].
And that's 'The Word.'"
