President Not-George Bush Wins Nobel Peace Prize!

That sound you hear is the wails of a million right wingers. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth on Fox today.

And indeed, the fact is that Obama has done precious little to earn the Nobel Peace Prize, other than not being George Bush. The Nobel committee might more rightly have given the award to the millions of Americans who voted for Obama, since, one suspects, it is to us that the award is really being given by a grateful world.

It’s hard to believe that less than a week ago Obama was the world’s biggest loser because the world wouldn’t give Chicago the Olympics. Now we’ll hear from Fox about why he’s still the biggest loser after the world gave him the most prestigious (though often abused, e.g., Henry Kissinger) award it has to offer.
