The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : Rising Nobel-ity

The Largest Selection of Liberal-baiting Merchandise on the Net!

Very interesting news out of Norway about some American with a funny name winning the Nobel Prize. In other news, the NFL Hall of Fame has announced election to its membership of New York Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez, "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen the hopes of Big Apple residents for the Jets to win their first Super Bowl since Joe Willie walked the sidelines." Also in the news, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has given the Honorary Award (popularly known as the "lifetime achievement award") to Hilary Duff.

I usually look to the BBC's message boards to get an international "man on the street" perspective on news events. On their message boards, comments from people all over the world actually mirror the comments of Amspec. The basic consensus is that he has done nothing to deserve it is a joke, it diminishes past deserving winners, etc.

I guess an Oscar is next, so what if he isn't in showbiz?
Maybe Car of the year?
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover?

What do you mean he isn't in showbiz? ALL he does is act in front of the camera - it is his only method of governing. He is far more deserving of an Oscar than some peace prize. The proof of his convincing acting performance can be found in his election.
