President Barack Obama Nobel Peace Prize win mocks award
In one fell swoop, the Nobel Prize jury just made a mockery of the world's most revered honor and handed Barack Obama's opponents a great talking point. They wounded two doves with one stone.
The Nobel Prize for Peace had already fallen far in the estimation of much of America. It was already seen as captive to the political left and a handful of crazy causes. For many years and many prizes, that was unfair.
The carping got louder when Al Gore shared the prize, even though that was based on a real body of important work.
Now, there's no more debate. Even the left-wing will have to acknowledge they put ideological sympathies ahead of achievements.
The Prize - which meant something once - is now officially a late-night joke. And like it or not, Obama is part of the punchline.
