” I salute you, men and women of the US military “

That’s how the show ended - with the first celebrity sent home expressing his admiration of and pride in our vets.

OORAH!

I will watch it again.

Desmond Tutu, beloved by the international media, is in reality a Jew-hating prick who has said things that would make David Duke blush.

I hadn’t planned on watching the show, but after reading this, I’ve changed my mind.

Tutu is also an enemy of Israel making him one of the world’s biggest butt wipes.

The Palins need to stay away from reality TV.

Sarah & Todd talk about reality limelight

Q: What kind of effect have your family’s reality show experiences had on your political career?

SP: In my case and a lot of common-sense conservative cases, it doesn’t matter what you do, you are going to get criticized. So, you might as well live life vibrantly and have fun doing what you want to do. As Bristol has always said, “The critics will criticize, the haters are gonna hate, so you might as well dance.” That is what we are doing.

Boy howdy - that was quick. It just premiered an hour ago.
Mighty peculiar. One might think this response was pre-written just for tonight.

I’d be more impressed if the Nobel Peace Prize was anything more than a “who hates America most” popularity award.

” - - - “sanitize war by likening it to an athletic competition.”

Duh, all sport games are stylized games of War.

“...including retired South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu...”

Met him once. He then was an ‘Anglican Archbishop’ supposedly involved in the ‘renewal movement’ in the Anglican Church. That was a good thing. Today, of course, the Anglican Church has fallen into total disrepute. And Tutu was much more about ‘redeeming South Africa’ from British/Dutch influence.

Today I do not shive a git about his ‘pronouncements’.

Rigoberta Menchu

A phony who lied in her autobiography for which she was awarded the Peace prize.

Along with Menchu, the prize also included among its recipients: a terrorist (Yassir Arafat), a charlatan (Al Gore), Kofi "Oil for food" Annan, and two failed presidents (Carter and Obama).

The prize lost much of its luster long ago.

You Nobel fools! Don’t you know that whole Peace Prize thing is just a joke? Those Swedes love their humor. They didn’t really expect you to take it seriously!

For starters, Betty Williams is a hateful bitch, not a peaceful person. You can look the rest of them up. It’s not pretty.

As the ultimate shark-jumping joke, they gave one to Dick Obama before he even did anything. I think they are still waiting for him to do something.

I’m hoping they will award a prize in Chemistry to me some day, although I don’t do Chemistry. But I don’t think it matters to them. They can do whatever the hell they please. It’s their game.

Dy-no-mite!!

No, no, no! Not Swedes! Norwegians!

For historical reasons all the Nobel prizes EXCEPT the peace prize is handed out by the Swedish Academy. The Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian parliament.

You got to keep those Scandinavians sorted! :-)

"Nine Nobel Peace laureates, including retired South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, called on NBC to cancel its "Stars Earn Stripes" reality show, calling it a bid to "sanitize war by likening it to an athletic competition." "

Sure, when Desmond Tutu fixes the problems with black-on-white depradations in South Africa, then he can get involved with our problems.

Until then, STFU!
