5/8     Gee W and his lapdog Tony Blair nominated for Nobel Peace Prize.
        Take that you commie liberals!
        \_ There are three nobel prizes that are worth a shit, and the
           "peace prize" isn't one of them.
        \_ http://csua.org/u/e6f (asia.reuters.com)
        \_ So is Bono from U2. So what?
           \_ I'm not the op, but I think the op makes an interesting point.
              \_ "Take that you commie liberals!" is an interesting point?
                 What "point" are you talking about exactly?
                 \_ I took it to be a point about the meaninglessness of the
                    NPP and various EU .orgs in general.
                    \_ I'd say it certainly deflates the seriousness of the
                       nomination process.  Whether it invalidates the NPP
                       will depend on whether GW and Blair win.
                       \_ Arafat didn't do it for you, huh?
                          \_ or Kissinger?
                          \_ Getting the prize for hugging Rabin on the
                             White House lawn > getting the prize for
                             making peace by prematurely launching war.
                             \_ If you get the NPP for hugging someone then
                                it means nothing.
                             \_ More like getting the prize for killing
                                Jews.
