1. Rush Limbaugh was nominated and he didn't win
Nominated for what I'm not sure - but I guess any bozo can send a letter to the Nobel folks and get some idiot nominated

3. You joke, but Nobel made a lot of his money from munitions.
The Prize was an attempt to mitigate that.

6. I know the history.
that was the point of the snark.
unlike today's hoodlums and career criminals in the White House, Blackwater, Haliburton, KKR and the DOD, Nobel had something called a conscious and an ethical approach to life. He seriously regretted the death and destruction.

7. And if they did, *SO FUCKING WHAT*?
> the Nobel Committee did this to embarrass Bush.

And if the Nobel committee did it for exactly this
reason, *SO FUCKING WHAT*?

Lord knows Bush and his crew have been embarrassing
all of us on the world stage for the last six years!
A little international recognition of that fact can't
go amiss!

5. Bush won the Lebon
Bush won the opposite, the Lebon War Prize, awarded by Satan himself in a secret ceremony in Hades. George Bush garbled some English then worked on his tan. He immediately contributed 200% of the prize money to himself. Pol Pot, Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and other high luminaries of Hell were in attendance. Loud and sustained applause was heard when the number of war dead was announced. Ewws and Ahhs were heard when the latest torture techniques were discussed. Fun was had by all.
