Is the Nobel peace prize committee capable of not being a laughing stock?
Obama just won for "bringing hope." He's the first guy to win the prize because of a (bad) campaign slogan.
I think I'll wear my NOPE t-shirt today. (That's not quite the shirt I have. I picked up mine at the D.C. airport.)
Update: Times of London: Headline: absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize.
"Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace. "
