Update #1 - 12:30pm

A report by the country's most respected news organization, filed by Faux News' Senior Entertainment Reporter John Ellis, was just posted on the network's web site and described the chaotic scene outside the US Supreme Court

A throng of angry crowds lined up outside the Supreme Court of the United States, demanding that justice be served and given the immense importance of this case, emotions ran high on both sides of the case. As bleary-eyed lawyers from both sides hurried inside to present their case, I encountered the movie's co-producer, Joe Lieberman. Surrounded by placard-waving protesters in Brooks Brothers attire proclaiming him as 'Sore Loserman,' here's what he said," While I am convinced that we won this award fair and square, it seems like a few overseas ballots were indeed late in arriving. Even so, it is our patriotic duty to have a full and fair recount. That would be in the best traditions of this country's legal system."

Update #2 - 1:00pm

The network of choice, CNN, interviewed many amongst the angry mob as well as prominent players involved in this landmark case.

Here are a few choice quotes

"Not only was this award stolen, my client, Exxon, has determined that Global Warming is the worst hoax perpretated by anyone on the patriotic citizens of this country. This will not stand." - Senior Spokesman for Exxon, Jim Baker.

"It's California, California, California." - NBC Senior Entertainment and News Analyst, Tim Russert.

"There is no way we could determine the legitimacy of these overseas ballots. I mean, how can we determine the intent of the overseas voter. They are foreigners, after all." - Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court, Sandra Day 'O Connor.

"But Justice O'Connor, the bylaws of the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences have in them a provision to discern the intent of the voter. It was inserted precisely for a scenario such as the one we're confronted with today." - David Boies, lead lawyer for Guggenheim, David, Gore et al, responding to Justice O'Connor's persuasive claim.

"This injustice negates everything that we fought for in the civil rights movement. This is a modern-day lynching." - Jesse Jackson, noted Civil Rights Leader.

Update #3 - 1:30pm

As tension builds and the case proceeds inside the hallowed halls of the court, the Entertainment Industry's bible, The Hotline, had this to say about Al Gore and calls by his supporters not only to to reclaim his award, his legitimate place in history, and run for President of the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences

The Left's drama played out on the left coast as Hollywood (diCaprio, DeGeneres et al) virtually begged Al Gore to run . Sure they raised money with Barack and Hillary. But doubts remain. Besides, only an Oscar winner can truly be one of them. (Note how Gore didn't go totally native in his carefully constructed quotes.)

. Sure they raised money with Barack and Hillary. But doubts remain. Besides, only an Oscar winner can truly be one of them. (Note how Gore didn't go totally native in his carefully constructed quotes.) Their doubts are distinct. But from FL to L.A., it's clear this incomplete script is poised for a few more plot twists.
