Irony of Ironies

This morning, Drudge brings us this delectable headline:
Russian, Bolivian leaders ask Nobel Committee to strip Obama of Peace Prize
My favorite part of the article:
Bolivian President Evo Morales echoed the call: "How is it possible that a Nobel Peace Prize winner leads a gang to attack and invade? This is not a defence of human rights or self-determination."
Morales won the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2006.

Re: Irony of Ironies
I think we are gaining insight into how many "world leaders" are on Qaddafi's direct payroll. Judging by Farrakhan's squeals, the Nation of Islam may cease to exist in the USA once the Libyan money tap closes.
The Iranians will be hard pressed to fill the funding gap left by Qaddafi's fall.

The Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights. Both irony and oxymoron. Just a cherry-picking of some of the past winners. Recognize anyone Stuart?

Re: Irony of Ironies
On the one hand, it is almost inconceivable ("almost" because it actually happened!) that Obama would get the Nobel before he actually did anything.
On the other hand...Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights?! Maybe they wanted to give it to Obama, until this whole incident?
Re: Irony of Ironies
Recall what he did to win the Peace Prize:

Vladimir Zhirinovsky is still alive? Where's a Putinite housecleaning when you need one?

Re: Irony of Ironies
Nobel prizes are only slightly less ridiculous than the U.N. I'd be happy if Americans abandoned them both.
Re: Irony of Ironies
The Peace Prize used to mean something. Now it's the Norwegian People's Choice Award.

Re: Irony of Ironies
Is it just me, or does it strike you as odd that perhaps, just perhaps, Morales is biased towards Gaddafi. I could be over-thinking this one.

There may be a larger point here (per Stuart, Dave, et al) but I just like the schadenfreude all by itself.
Tasty, tasty schadenfreude.

Did the Peace Prize jump the sharp before Jimmy Carter era?

Schaden is the best kind of freude, now c'mon admit it.
