Nobel Peace Prize for Cindy Sheehan?
Would you believe Cindy Sheehan, Nobel Peace Prize winner?
At a signing for her new book "Peace Mom” in Austin, Texas, Sheehan — President Bush’s most vocal critic against the war in Iraq — announced that she is a finalist for the Nobel Peace Prize.
But the committee that selects the winner of the prize, which is to be awarded on Friday, Oct. 13, has not revealed the list of nominees to Sheehan or anyone else, and has stated only that it had received 191 names by the Feb. 1 deadline.
What’s more, various sites that accept bets on who will be the eventual winner do not list Sheehan as one of the favorites.
Meanwhile, the book by Sheehan is being vastly outsold by a book about Cindy Sheehan — "American Mourning: The Intimate Story of Two Families Joined by War, Torn by Beliefs,” co-authored by Melanie Morgan.

I hope she wins it so the prize is a complete joke for the whole world to laugh at from now on. Most of us already laugh at it, but Laureate Sheehan would be the icing on the doughnut.

"Well, if she 'knows' she's a nominee, she must have nominated herself." Yes, and I'm sure there's plenty in the Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Jane Fonda crowd who got together to push for Cindy to get the award.

I wholeheartedly agree.
Attn. Nobel Peace Prize committee...do NOT, I repeat, do NOT award the NPP to Cindy Sheehan. Me and countless other American Patriots will commit mass suicide if you do.

There's no credibility to the prize, since Arafat was a winner.

I could care less about the nobel peace prize. Some of the past winners are Jimmy Carter,Kofi Annan, & Yassar Arafat. I don't like any of them either.

The Nobel Peace Prize has lost all of its original meaning. Look at who has received this formerly prestigious award in the recent past: Bishop Desmond Tutu, Jimmy Carter, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Yassir Arafat, Kofi Annan, Makhail Gorbachev, and the U.N. Peacekeeping Forces. Why not Sheehan?
To: mylife
From the petition website:
Signatures: 538
Goal: 50,000
Deadline: 8-14-2006
I would say that they missed their goal by a little.
She wasn't even nominated, near as I can tell. Just that she "says" she was nominated.

The Pope is mean to Islamic terrorists though, so how could he ever get the award? If you don't promote Jihad you aren't very politically sensitive and compassionate!
