Bush opens Oval Office to Gore: 'Photo opportunity'

Source: Baltimore Sun

George W. Bush won the White House.

Albert A. Gore Jr. won the Nobel Prize.

The two will meet today in the Oval Office, where President Bush will honor the American winners of this year's Nobels, including Gore, the former vice president who claimed his share of the prize this year for his work on global warming and also claimed a majority of the popular vote in the presidential election of 2000 but lost to Bush in the Electoral College -- following a 36-day court fight over a disputed 537-vote margin for Bush in Florida.

They have met before -- at the funeral for President Gerald Ford, for instance. But not in this environment: The office which Gore once hoped to claim.

Yet the Oval Office ceremony will serve as a "photo opportunity,'' not a public ceremony per se, the White House says today. What's said in the Oval Office may well stay in the Oval Office.
