Algore Is Having A Good Day
From the moment I turned on the radio this morning, to the primetime news hour this evening, the lead story is Algore's capturing of the coveted Nobel Peace Prize. I'm still puzzling why the prize is coveted? Rush Limbaugh says "they can never take away my nomination" for said prize. He's right, as usual, but perhaps it's who has nominated you for it that really counts.
Let's take a look at previous nomineesand recipients;
Nominees; this should-be-illustrious list includes Stalin and Hitler.
Nobel Laureates; this actual list includes Yassar Arafat and Jimmie Carter.
As a Rush Republican, I would be embarrassed for Rush if he'd actually been awarded the prize.

"When the past nominations were released it was discovered that Adolf Hitler was nominated in 1939 by Erik Brandt, a member of the Swedish Parliament. Brandt retracted the nomination after a few days.[5] Other infamous nominees included Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini. However, since nomination requires only support from one qualified person (e.g., a history professor), these unusual nominations do not represent the opinions of the Nobel committee itself." -- from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Prize" target=_blank> Wikipedia

Am I missing your point here? An interesting history lesson, if there is no further point.
