and becomes king of the liberals

I live hundreds of miles away from him, in a county that has some of the worst air quality in the North America--and yet, YET, I still can't help but pick up the smell of his self-satisfied flatulence wafting through the atmosphere.

Is this world so short on crusaders that they had no choice but to select this sweetheartbag's ever-expanding face to display all over the place.

...and there was a great gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands in the O'Club.

Mr Justice Burton identified nine significant errors within the former presidential candidate’s documentary as he assessed whether it should be shown to school children......

In what is a rare judicial ruling on what children can see in the class-room, Mr Justice Barton was at pains to point out that the “apocalyptic vision” presented in the film was politically partisan and not an impartial analysis of the science of climate change...

But hell let's give him a peace prize anyway, even thu his movie was crap to begin with.....

Let's not jump to any conclusions yet. The Supreme Court could still weigh in on this.

Whose surprised? This is the same group that gave Carter one.

Whose surprised? This is the same group that gave Yasser Arafat the no bell peace prize. It just further reduces the credibility of the prize committee, but the winner still gets $1.5 million.

I don't think its gnashing and wringing going on here, just the calling out of the Nobel Prize for the joke that it has become. Honestly, the folks that hand it out aren't exactly unbiased.

BTW.......good luck at the range this weekend!:aok

Carter deserves one, He has done lots of work for peace AFTER his presidency. don't think he was much of a president but cant complain about what he does with his life now.

I know...I saw it on Yahoo news and was about to post about it but Neubob beat me to it. That was my first thought when I saw it.

Never mind Carter, John's point about Arafat is spot on. Arafat getting a peace prize made it ludicrous.

Thanks re the range.

Others that were on the list

Other known nominations included:

1 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez;
2 exiled Bangledeshi writer Taslima Nasrin;
3 former Illinois governor and anti-death penalty campaigner George Ryan;
4 the group Tiananmen Mothers, which represents families of those killed in the 1989 massacre in Beijing;
5 SOS-Children's Village, a charity that provides homes to abandoned and abused children worldwide;
6 and long-jailed Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu.

The list also was believed to include the

International Atomic Energy Agency,
International Red Cross,
Save the Children,
Pope John Paul II
and former Czech President Vaclav Havel.

I'll be bringing this up at the dinner table tonight for my kids. I'll show them this list and see if they can find someone more deserving on it. As you can see there is.

This lesson will be titled, "The Nobel Pease Prize is now a bunch of crap." Anotherone bites the dust. I am sure glad he invented the Internet or I could not have got this information.

Information from USA Today and The Nobel web site.
