Obama Wins the Nobel Peace Prize?!

This one even had liberals scratching their heads. (For example see here, here, here, and here.) Just when the folks at Saturday Night Live (SNL) decide to mock Obama for not accomplishing anything, the Nobel committee decides that 12 days in office was enough. (Peace Prize nominees had to be postmarked by February 1st.) Can you imagine the punch lines now?! 

With the aiding and abetting of the Nobel committee Obama has now accomplished at least one significant thing. He has clarified for liberals what most conservatives have long known: that the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. Conservatives had it figured out by the time Yasser Arafat won in 1994 (if not before). The joke certainly became clear to conservatives after Al Gore won. Perhaps now the folks at SNL can help make it clear to liberals.
