Tough Poll (Vanity)

[chopperman]

Which Nobel Peace Prize Recipient was the Most Inappropriate?

1. Yasar Arafat 2. Al Gore 3. Barack Obama

[chopperman]

I just can't decide.

[FrdmLvr]

You’re right, but I think I’d have to go with Arafat if really pressed.

[JohnLongIsland]

Joe Biden

[steelyourfaith]

The Nobel Prize is spiraling into irrelevancy.

[youturn]

Arafat.

[murron]

I would add Mikael Gorbachev as well.

[teenyelliott]

As far as I know, Arafat is the only one who killed people, which is kinda not peaceful.

The thing is a joke anyway.

4. All of the above

[G Larry]

The entire Nobel Prize process has been manipulated into insignificance for over 20 years.

[xjcsa]

I’d put them in the order listed, but it’s a close race.

Obama’s was definitely the funniest.

[dblshot]

Don’t forget Woodrow Wilson who may have the corner on unintended consequences in international affairs by setting up the League of Nations which became the UN soon to become the Government of the One World.

[RC one]

this seems like a trick question. they’re all inappropriate.

[wastoute]

Let’s see, the first is a war criminal (anyone but me remember “cold river”?), the second is a huckster, and the third is yet to be determined just how much of either he is. Probably mostly huckster, but he could be a seriously committed communist or even a muslim “doing what he has to.”

[digger48]

Their premature adulation for Bambi removed what little credibilty they still had.

[BamaDi]

All 3!

[reaganaut1]

In the words of Obama, this is a “false choice” :).

[donhunt]

How soon do you need to know?
I have to think this over.

[VastRWCon]

Yasar Barack Al Arafat Gore Obama

[spaced]

Al Gore. Global warming has nothing to do with peace. (However, it’s great for lining his pockets.)

Arafat and Obama at least have a tenuous link to the purpose of the prize.

[painter]

I’ll go with that order.
