Or perhaps its because the Republican party is full of self-serving corporate pork swilling wh0res? and not people that want peace...

I stand corrected. If the Swedes can be convinced to vote for Kissinger then all bets are off.

[Dinner]

What happened in 1972? They couldn't find someone to give the prize to?

[Clear Skies]

I'm guessing something else intervened...that's what happened in the Second World War, for example. I think sometimes the Commission refused to award the prize out of horror at what was happening in the world.

[Lancer]

If the Swedes don't give up the peace prize, they're just asking for a full on invasion!

[Henrik]

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but in his day Hitler was also nominated for Nobels peace price...

Just a nice little bit of information

[Lancer]

Yeah, he was a nationalist SOCIALIST.

[HolyWarrior]

Watching the leftists' reactions has been fun to watch.
Don't worry, though. Oslo would never give a Nobel to Bush.

[St Leo]

If I had to choose between giving a Nobel Peace Prize to Hitler and giving it to Bush, I would have chosen Hitler.

What reactions? Most have just shrugged, considering where the nomination came from.

What's wrong with Norway other than it being a socialist Saudi Arabia?
