RUSH: Nobel Peace Prize nomination sweeping the nation. Last night, WHDH Boston.<\/p>\n

JONATHAN HALL: Good day for Algore. He\u2019s been nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work in drawing attention to the hazards of global warming. His documentary has been nominated for an Academy Award. The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is announced in October. Anyone can be nominated for that award. Also nominated this year, Rush Limbaugh, among others.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Can somebody tell me what in the world raising awareness to a false, phony premise like global warming has to do the with peace? What in the world does it have to do with peace? Absolutely nothing. By the way, I am under no illusions I\u2019m going to win this, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, and I should tell you, I?m getting all kinds of angry e-mail from liberals on this, frothing in their e-mails, simply unbelievable to them that I would be nominated for one of their own such prestigious awards. They feel powerless to do anything about it. I want to say to all of you libs who are just nonplussed by this, it\u2019s a free world. Call \u2019em up over there at the Nobel committee in Oslo. You can find the number, they\u2019ve got a website. Call \u2019em up if you object to this, call \u2019em up and tell \u2019em so, tell \u2019em how outraged you are. You don\u2019t have to sit there and take this in silence or at least frothing amongst yourselves on your websites or whatever. Take matters in your own hands. Instead of complaining and whining about things like you always do, take some action. Here\u2019s Fox\u2019s KTTV Los Angeles, cohost Steve Edwards and Lisa Breckenridge.<\/p>\n

EDWARDS: Gore\u2019s name was entered by members of the Norwegian parliament. On the other hand, Rush Limbaugh was entered as well. He was nominated by the Landmark Legal Foundation, which calls Limbaugh the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And we\u2019ll be back after this, ladies and gentlemen.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the audio of the Fox News Channel report about 15 minutes ago, a little over 15 minutes ago of my nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p>\n

GREG JARRETT: He\u2019s been called many things in his long and controversial broadcasting career, but never a Nobel Peace Prize winner. He hasn\u2019t won it yet. Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh nominated today for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. The Landmark Legal Foundation<\/a> tapped the talker, calling him the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world. Landmark, by the way, is the leading conservative public interest law firm in the US, and Limbaugh serves on it?s board of advisors. The Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded December 10th in Oslo, Norway.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, hey, hey, it\u2019s an unpaid position. I\u2019m an unpaid member of the board, which means I may as well not be a member of the board. Don\u2019t do that. Now they\u2019re trying to say that there\u2019s some chicanery involved here. I\u2019m an unpaid member of the Landmark board. Well, anyway, there you have it. So it continues to sweep the nation. It\u2019s in many of the trade publications of the radio and broadcast business. By the way, folks, speaking of all this, I still don\u2019t understand what raising awareness to anything involving global warming has to with world peace, I really don\u2019t, and that\u2019s Algore\u2019s reason for being nominated.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, I didn\u2019t see this earlier, just caught my attention here. The New York Times has a blog, and the blog is called The Lede. It\u2019s in their news section, their website. It\u2019s not published in the paper, I don\u2019t think. There is a lengthy entry with side by side photos, Algore\u2019s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize and mine, with quotes from the Algore nomination letter juxtaposed against quotes from my nomination letter written by the Landmark Legal Foundation. (Laughing.) You know what\u2019s happening now? I\u2019m told Eric at the Landmark Legal Foundation says they\u2019re being phone spammed. All these little Democrats are calling and shouting insults at them and then hanging up. (Laughing.)<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
