Media will start to denigrate Nobel Prize
"It's a popularity contest, no more meaningful than the Emmys". "People lobby for their favorite, like taking out ads in Variety"

Wait for it.

1. We don't even have to wait, FOX is leading and gutless CNN and MSNBC will soon follow.
Us "little people" of the NON-Investor Classes don't matter to the illustrious Corporate M$M. The media whores on our television only serve their masters of big money within the blessed Military Industrial Complex. :(

12. FOX is all about Sandy Berger's being asked to take a polygraph test.

13. Clear-cut the media.
Fox was disgusting for the 10 minutes I bothered with them.

Vapid, stupid, insulting. If anyone's gonna lose in the changes that come--God forgive me--I hope it's fools like them.

A woman on C-span now--Republican--is expressing her regret that he was never president. "I applaud him" she says.

11. Don't forget Jimmy Carter!
Serious study question: Who was the last Republican
to win a Nobel prize?

(I know the answer.)

5. Another one that'll be spouted off on Faux sometime:
"Well Carter and Arafat got one, too, so it just goes to show...*snark*snark*"

7. Those grapes are probably sour anyway.
Too bad they don't give out a Nobel Peace Prize for being a bonehead. Right wingers would have a lock on it every year.

10. Their boy Kissinger will be happy to hear them! Heh heh, heh heh.
"In 1973, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger shared the award with North Vietnam's Le Duc Tho."

15. Yup.
The Norwegian media has already shown their bias against Gore, so I wouldn't be surprised if the US media corpse follows up ...
