I suppose I should be surprised or shocked by this but I'm not it does show you just how meaningless this thing has become though.

This pleases me; it shows that it has virtually no value, and then one should look back on some recent recipients. Sadly one requisite of its being awarded is that it be a splinter in the eye of the US.

I beg to differ, actually it's worth about $1.5 million to those that win it, so it's essentially become a lottery for politicians and wannabe politicians.

Obama got one, Arafat got one, Putin is way overdue

I thought this was a joke, but then I realized it was the Nobel Peace Prize, it is a joke. I guess they really think he wants to reform the USSR, which will make him win

 

[Rozman]

Makes as much sense as Obama getting one.

 

[Rozman]

They should have Obama hand it to Vlad.

I hereby award this to the Nobel Prize nominating committee.

I hereby award this to the Nobel Prize nominating committee.

As I stated a couple hours ago in another thread...these idiots will give it to anyone to make themselves important. It means NOTHING any longer.

I guess Assad needs one too...

Isn't it very easy to nominate someone?

Too easy in my mind and TOO political.

If Obama can get one then Charles Manson, Kenneth Lay, Hillery Clinton, or Jeffry Dahmer are eligible candidates. Hell ... they ought to put 'em in Cracker Jack boxes.

 

[blackhawk]

I'm nominating Phil Robertson next year.

 

[JWBooth]

No more, and no less, deserving than the last superpower leader that was nominated.

 

[DriftingSand]

I'm nominating Phil Robertson next year.

I'd vote for 'im.
