BREAKING NEWS ITEM #1: President Barack Obama has been named the 2009 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” despite the fact that the deadline for submitting nominations for the once-prestigious award was only 12 days into the 44th president’s term.

BREAKING NEWS ITEM #2: President Obama has been named the winner of both the American and National League Cy Young Awards for 2009, despite the fact that many said “he throw like a girl and wears mom jeans” when he threw out the first pitch of the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game held in St. Louis [Source: Mark Reardon, KMOX 1120 AM radio talk show host].

What a morning!

Freeper Lazamataz has a thread on this.

There is actually an IgNoble prize ceremony too, maybe he should have gotten one of those for medicine, for preventing all those $50,000 amputations.

Cheers!

I’d sure like to know how much Georgie Soros had to pay for this. I’ll bet it was some big, big bucks.

The nominations deadline occurred less than two weeks after Obama was inaugurated! He merited the Nobel Prize for serving eleven days. Please tell me what he did during that time frame?

Worst of all, the phony will travel to Stockholm where he will read a lengthy and meaningless Anti-American diatribe off of another Teleprompter screen.

This is repulsive news. The Nobel Prize committee really hates the USA.

The Nobel prize doesn’t mean Jack s*** since they awarded it to Gore.

Just WTF has Obummer done to deserve winning the Nobel peace prize? Short answer: Absolutely nothing. But then the Nobel Peace Prize does not mean much since they gave it to Jimmy Carter and Arafat. The Nobel Peace Prize has become a worldwide laughingstock and a very very sick joke on the scale of DR. STRANGELOVE. Hey, maybe HE should win the next one or maybe Fidel Castro, or a posthumous award to Neville Chamberlain or better still Adolf Hitler or “Uncle Joe” Stalin or Che Guevara or Mao Tse Tung or Mussolini.

You guys joke but I can see merit in this “peace prize as encouragement” dealie. In fact, I need encouragement to get up the gumption to pay my taxes so I think I deserve a Peace Prize too.

I also heard he was inducted into the bowling hall of fame. Even though he sucked at bowling, the fact a man of such importance would even grace the bowling alley with his presence was enough to sway the committee members.
