Teleprompter and Empty Suit Share Nobel Prize

(NS: This is the funniest response to the incident the other day in Oslo that I’ve yet to read.)

That's Nobel-Prize Winning Teleprompter to You ...
By Barack Obama’s Teleprompter

Wow. What can I say. Wow. I'm honored. Clearly Big Guy - who can't stop dancing on the bed up in the residence right now, by the way - won this award for his speeches. I mean, after nominating himself for the Nobel Prize for Peace two weeks after entering the office of the Presidency, let's face it, it isn't like he had anything to show for it.

He said if he'd known it was this easy to win a Nobel, he would have nominated himself for the Nobel Prize for Literature years ago for his 5th Grade essay on "Raisin the Sun" (of course, he would have had to share that prize with Billy Ayers). Or his yeast science project from 7th grade for the Nobel Prize for chemistry.

There's so much to do now before the awards ceremony in Oslo. I'm going to have to buy a white tie and tails, and really get a good, high-gloss screen polishing for the awards ceremony. Big Guy is hoping that after accepting the Nobel for peace, if he gives a really good speech, they'll give him a second Nobel for talking, because he's really earned that one.

Lady M is thrilled, because a check for $1.5 million comes with the medal….

The Nobel committee has diminished its integrity. I can no longer see legitimacy within it, or the constituents individually.

Niv,

They've been up to these sorts of shenanigans for decades: Rigoberta Menchu, Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela and, lest I forget, Martin Luther King Jr.
