Ignobel Moments — Glenn Beck at it again re: Al Gore!

[NYCGirl]

I wonder if Olbermann has seen this?

ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE:

Within hours of the announcement that Al Gore had received the Nobel Peace Prize, I received this email from a reader:

``Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize ... Yes the Nobel Prize was also given to Stalin, Mussolini, Castro and even to Hitler ... how good a trophy can it be????'' The reader also remarked on Nobel as the inventor of dynamite, ``as if it is a useful invention.''

Where to begin to answer such a missive? Stalin, Mussolini, Castro and Hitler never won a Nobel Peace Prize. All of them were indeed nominated, but unlike the science Nobels, all it takes to be put on a ''nominees'' list for the Peace Prize is a nomination from a ''qualified'' person -- like a history professor, the Internet tells me. It's like saying Donald Duck was ``nominated'' for president because he got some disaffected or sarcastic write-in votes.

Where, I emailed the reader, did he learn all of this? It was on CNN, he responded -- Headline News by Glenn Beck. Now that I was asking, he wasn't sure that someone had said they'd actually won the Nobel Peace Prize; maybe someone had just said they were nominated.

1. CNN sickening as always

Do they really think that by having a piece of turd like Glenn Beck on they will raise their popularity. I think he now has the lowest approval rate of any show that was ever on TV. Golly. One thing about republicans you can bet on the fact that their approval ratings manage to stay toilet level. Just look at bush.

2. I totally disagree with the last sentence of the column.

"He left much of his fortune to the prizes whose renown and high purpose have almost obliterated "The Merchant of Death's" original notoriety. He was lucky -- he died before the age of cable and the Internet."

The Internet is the very last thing Hitler or Goebbels would've wanted to combat against their state sponsored propaganda. Free speech was definitely a no no and the Internet would've drastically complicated their task.

Thanks for the thread, NYCGirl.

3. I'd love to see that silly looking fuck fall in the log chipper & go through feet first

I heard his dumbass rant last night on CNN about Gore and I almost dove through the television to get at him. Beck is way too cocky and it's unfortunate how that dumbwit is making money by acting like a total neocon imbecile.

5. You're right. He's not that good an actor. But he's a great imbecile. NT

7. Hi, Glenn. Taking some time off from entertaining your viewers, both of them?

You really are an imbecile -- or a freeper. Difficult to tell the difference.
