"For What?"

..headline on Drudge.

No shit!

ZerØ joins the ranks of Jimmy Carter, Yasser Arafat and Al Gore. With even less reason.

The Nobel committee has lost whatever small credibility they retained after their previous— obviously political and certainly hairbrained—choices. Their only claim to fame henceforth will be as a question on Jeopardy.

No one can take this absurdity seriously, of course. Well, except Øbama, who I'm sure is preening in the brass glory of this bad joke, totally clueless that the world is rolling its collective eyes.

I can't wait to hear the Talk Show take on this idiocy. It's going to be an entertaining day!

Reuters, as usual, doesn't have a clue what they reveal when they report this:
"Obama is the fourth U.S. president to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after Jimmy Carter won in 2002, Woodrow Wilson picked it up in 1919 and Theodore Roosevelt was chosen for the 1906 prize."
That's pretty much all you need to know to understand this latest mockery.

  1. I don't know if you are aware of it (you probably are) but the voting for this was done in FEBRUARY. That means that the current resident was in office ELEVEN DAYS when they voted him in. ELEVEN DAYS.

  2. What the hell has he accomplished ? I mean it was to my understanding that the award is given for great accomplishment after it is done! So my question is how did he get rid of all the nukes in the world so fast and where did he hide them all, In his ASS ? I MEAN THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING THE AWARD IS FOR. Unless it is really an award for F...ing up every thing he has touched so far, blaming it all on others, betraying the American people, disgracing the proud Veterans, service men and women of this country by apologizing how bad we are as a country.Being a RACIST And most of all LYING!! Yeah I said it! Somebody please explain the madness. I guess the movie idioacrasy is coming true the world is full of idiots already and there is no hope for the rest of us! Yup Bush did it all ! I inheritted this all, his excuses are getting tired. Throw the rascist lying bum out!!!

  3. GS,

    Even though I don't comment frequently I still have to hit your blog first thing every morning. You have a gift. I am grateful that you use it with such purpose and passion.

    I commented a while back on the Big 0's propensity for bling. Im thinking he will have a big gold chain made for the prize and wear it around his neck.

    He sees no discontinuity with his receiving this now meaningless award and his dearth of work in the peace process. It is as if we are living in George Orwell's 1984 novel and double speak is the new cultural mime.

    He is the consummate narcissist. He is the the new "man" of identity politics. You give to him what is his due, only because he breaths. The work comes later, only after the world sees his greatness for what it is... (sic!)

    This is the most dangerous of all creatures... a man who demands fealty without substance.

    Take care and God Bless you... btw.. check out IowaHawk's send up of this award. It is priceless.

  4. Lizp4...I KNOW! Tells us all we need to know, right...totally political.

    Nathan. I figured it out...everything you listed as his "failures" are "accomplishments" to the Leftist Nobel committee! The worse he is for America, they happier they are.

    Bill...thanks, as always. Yes. The "NEW" man.
    I particularly love the Left's use of "democracy" to mean "Marxism", and "Social Justice" to mean the same. So many synonyms...so little time.

  5. Lizp4, the voting was not in February. The February date was the day the nominations closed. The only question is how many Obama supprters were in a position to nominate him. Look it up on wiki, there is a very broad range of people and institutions that can do so, unlike the real Nobel prizes where only experts in their field can nominate.
