Let's compare the candidates:
Irena Sendler:
Forged documents to get a job in the Warsaw Ghetto
Helped remove roughly 2,500 children
Got caught, was beaten within an inch of her life
While in prison for her "crime", defied her German captors
Survived a coin-toss-and-you're-executed scenario
Reunited several families post-war
Never made a dime
Al Gore:
Made a lot of money off of a documentary
Gives speeches about topics that smart people can't agree on (makes money off of them)
Obviously, Mr. Gore and his friends are much more deserving of this great honor.
