Nobel Fucking Peace Prize Nomi-fucking-nation, Bitch

Two Norwegians nominated Al Gore for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to put the threat of climate change on the US agenda. Conservative Børge Brende and Socialist Heidi Sørensen nominated Gore along with Canadian environmentalist Sheila Watt-Cloutier.


"Al Gore has done a very important job as former US VP and has created so much pressure in the USA that for the first time President Bush must now say that climate change is a problem. No other single person in the last year has done so much to put the threat of climate change on the agenda, and contributed to lasting changes in international policy," Børge Brende said.


Of course the right wing lost their shit when they heard about the nomination. Instead of sitting back and taking it, they came out swinging. Mark Levin, a conservative radio host and incredible douchebag has announced that his Landmark Legal Foundation has nominated Rush Limbaugh for the Nobel Peace Prize. Limbaugh is coincidentally also a member of the board of advisors at Landmark.


Limbaugh…was nominated for the prestigious award for his "nearly two decade of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for al humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin. These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout the world," said Landmark President Mark R. Levin.


Yeah! Fuck you, Al Gore. The best Nobel Peace Nominations come from a place of pure hatred and are done simply for revenge. And anyone can do it! Unless of course, there are some rules or something...


Nomination to the Nobel Peace Prize is by invitation only. The Nobel Committee sends confidential forms to persons who are competent and qualified to nominate. The names of the nominees and other information about the nominations cannot be revealed until 50 years later.


And they have this weird list of qualifications. Whatever. I. FearTheReaper, am nominating, India, for being fucking hot. And my cat, Dr. Greenjeans, for not shitting in the corner.

I second the nomination of India. And while I am not familiar with Dr. Greenjeans, I will second his nomination out of trust for your wisdom and the fact that he's a cat who has managed to earn a doctorate.

Why/how is the Al Gore nomination public, then?

Gore nominated for a Nobel for spreading the word about Climate Change? Seriously? Hey, while we're at it, let's nominate Jesus Christ for the Prize for spreading the word about Repentance and Forgiveness. Careful, though; the recycling lobby and santa's elves might want in on this action with nominations of their own. Could get messy!

Yeah, Limbaugh should really be on there cause, ya know, it wasn't like he was on here just a week ago saying that women don't deserve to be serving in the military because that's not what civilized cultures do.

No actually, it means exactly what it says. Nominees for any Nobel Prize that become public do not win the award. There's an amusing chapter on this in Kerry Mullis's autobiography where a Nobel official finally told him point blank "look you'd get the freaking award if you just shut-up about it"

He did and he did smile

The idea is to keep the awards from becoming too political. If the nominees are announced, or the nomination process publicized then it opens the door for a lot of debate and speculation about who "deserves" the win or even get a nomination, pundits calculating how many white-men vs black-men vs women vs purple transgendered mutant slugs have won.

Which means no prize for Gore this year. Thank God. Aren't there people saving others from genocide somewhere? Do we really want "ooooo he made a world leader call a press conference" to be a serious justification for the PEACE PRIZE?

It's a good call, too. Last thing we need is the Alfred Nobel Prize Awards Ceremonies, brought to you by Pepsi.
