Positive Proof the Nobel Peace Prize is An Absolute Joke

HE WINS JUST FOR SPEAKING PURTY AND PROMISING EVERYBODY PONIES?

President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize.

When they gave it to teh Goracle for MC-ing a frickin’ movie, I finally wrote the whole thing off, since they had topped their own idiocy of attaching Arafat’s name to their “prize” by anointing a straight up snake oil salesman some kind of Savior. They seem to lately give their Lit award to whomever is the anointed aggrieved minority author of the moment. Other than the hard sciences, you just cannot take the Nobel awards with anything more than an Almighty dose of “who the fuck do they think they’re kidding?” Giving that whiny shit Krugman the Economics award seemed to be the icing on their “completely irrelevant” cake….

Now, however, they have flat out admitted that their jurisprudence is nothing more than the international equivalent of lefty nerds who sucked at sports picking the King of the High School Prom:

OSLO (AP) – President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.

The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline.

The Nobel committee praised Obama’s creation of “a new climate in international politics” and said he had returned multilateral diplomacy and institutions like the U.N. to the center of the world stage.

Let those bits I bolded seep into your skull. Barry was still picking out furniture for his new crib; had not in any way achieved anything other than getting his jive ass elected, yet these Euro trash asshats decided that The Magic Negro, by His mere existence and ability to read a script, has made Earth a better, safer place… in less than two weeks.

WTF planet do these jackholes live on? When the nomination deadline arrived, Barry had done–exactly–a grand total of jack shit, other than signing an Executive Order to close Gitmo… that has been shown to be an absolutely frivolous bit of bullshit. His “new climate in international politics” seems to be Barry rolling over and offering his throat to alpha dogs like Putin and Ahmawearingadinnerjacket; bowing before some King of a bunch of sand monkeys, and embracing the whole cornucopia of South American tin-pot despots, while at the same time pissing on America’s time-tested allies.

JULES: “Hang on, he hasn’t actually accomplished any peace, or much else yet, though he has had several schools named after him and has promoted accord to the extent schoolchildren weren’t pelting each other with spitballs while they were singing about him.”

Via Gates of Vienna, we get Wretchard’s take:

Look at it this way: if the Nobel Peace Prize award doesn’t put the President’s policies beyond reproach of mere mortals then what will? What can they give him for an encore? One of the indicators of the decline of a political class is the use of grandiose titles to dignify the merely ordinary. When pageantry, expensive exhibitions, sonorous awards and extravagant titles are all that are left to overawe the masses it is a sign of a way of life that is already passing.

To even a casual observer, Barack has, internationally speaking, achieved nothing. Anyone paying attention would say he’s making America’s foreign policy seem akin to Henny Youngman’s punch line… or real-timing Rodney Dangerfield’s signature riff.

And while the Nobel committee may think they are doing Dear Leader some kind of help by hoisting this steaming chunk of politically correct crap on his shoulders, I gotta think this is going to really, really piss off a huge swath of the American citizenry, who are already tired of hearing this two-bit Chi-Town punk being treated like the Second Coming when he hasn’t actually done a goddamn thing other than hose America’s economy.
