My big, fat (and idiotic) Nobel Prize

An organisation known as the Landmark Legal Foundation claims to have nominated the big, fat, sweaty King of right wing talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, for the Nobel Peace Prize. Allow me a brief quote from their press release which explains why he has been nominated. (WARNING: if you are currently eating anything you would be wise to finish it before proceeding as the likelihood that you might choke to death on a combination of food and hysterical laughter is very high!)

For his “nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin. These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout the world…Rush Limbaugh is the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today…Everyday he gives voice to the values of democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equal application of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the Nobel Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peaceful world for future generations.”

The release goes on to point out that huge windbag would be in for an award of 10 million kroner should he actually win the prize (snigger) and provides the dates of the award ceremony should any of his fans wish to book early.

There does seem to be one wee problem with their submission though. It would appear unlikely that they are qualified as nominators. Those who are involved in the process, which is by invitation only, are:

members of national assemblies, governments, and international courts of law; university chancellors, professors of social science, history, philosophy, law and theology; leaders of peace research institutes and institutes of foreign affairs; Nobel Peace Prize Laureates of previous years; board members of organizations that have received the Nobel Peace Prize; present and past members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; and former advisers of the Norwegian Nobel Institute

It is too bad really. We could have had endless hours of speculation as to whether the limp-dicked blowhard would attempt to smuggle his own, illegally acquire, Viagra into Norway or whether he would try to score there. I am certain that there are fives, if not tens, of tall, blonde, demented Norwegian beauties eager to smother the great big man with love. It is highly likely that he would be charged a considerable fee for these services however.
