Top Ten Reasons Obama Won the Nobel Peace Prize
With David Letterman somewhat distracted, I thought IÂ’d solicit nominations for a top 10 list. HereÂ’s a few to start off:
Consolation prize for losing the Olympics
Who gives a ratÂ’s you-know-what about Afghanistan, anyway
The Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology were already taken
“We couldn’t give an ‘un-prize’ to George W. Bush, and this was the next best thing”
For extraordinary diplomacy at the Gates-Crowley “Beer Summit”
UPDATE: “Obama? I thought we were giving it to Osama“
The Norwegians wanted to honor one of their own, and the committee discovered that Obama was born in Oslo, Norway, the son of a Volvo factory worker.
ONE MORE: Norway needed to stimulate its prize industry, and Obama was willing to trade in an older, less efficient prize.
AND FROM THE COMMENTS: He was the 10th caller
That's actually funny, except that's a TOP 9, not a TOP 10 list. A for effort though.
I guess I'll put on my conservative hat and add a few...
Encouraged peaceful TEA parties nationwide.
Because Hope and Change, even without Hope and Change, made the world feel so warm and fuzzy!
All those media reports on the war and the dead people there just went away, thanks to Obama.
Because he outshines American Idol in the press, which for one makes the committee a lot more peaceful. American Idol makes us angry...
And of course... HE KEPT HILLARY CLINTON OUT FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT!
