The jokes are flying fast and furious as the nation wakes up to the news that Barack Obama has won the Nobel peace prize for doing absolutely nothing.
This news makes Martin Luther King’s peace prize win for his historic civil rights achievements seem meaningless.
MSNBC’s Morning Joe Show ripped into the Nobel Committee’s decision to award Obama a peace prize. And White House chief of staff Rham Emanuel responded by sending Joe an email saying “stop being an A-hole.”
The Nobel Committee defended its decision to award Obama a peace prize by claiming the award is given “to encourage laureates rather than reward them for their achievements.”
Oh really? And here I thought the award was given to individuals for their actual achievements?
I’m submitting my name for next year’s peace prize nominations since you don’t have to do a damn thing to win one.
