Nobel Peace Prize for Cindy Sheehan?

Would you believe Cindy Sheehan, Nobel Peace Prize winner?

At a signing for her new book "Peace Mom” in Austin, Texas, Sheehan — President Bush’s most vocal critic against the war in Iraq — announced that she is a finalist for the Nobel Peace Prize.

But the committee that selects the winner of the prize, which is to be awarded on Friday, Oct. 13, has not revealed the list of nominees to Sheehan or anyone else, and has stated only that it had received 191 names by the Feb. 1 deadline.

What’s more, various sites that accept bets on who will be the eventual winner do not list Sheehan as one of the favorites.

Meanwhile, the book by Sheehan is being vastly outsold by a book about Cindy Sheehan — "American Mourning: The Intimate Story of Two Families Joined by War, Torn by Beliefs,” co-authored by Melanie Morgan.

I hope she wins it so the prize is a complete joke for the whole world to laugh at from now on. Most of us already laugh at it, but Laureate Sheehan would be the icing on the doughnut.

"Well, if she 'knows' she's a nominee, she must have nominated herself."

Yes, and I'm sure there's plenty in the Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Jane Fonda crowd who got together to push for Cindy to get the award.

HER NAME IS BEING THROWN AROUND ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF OTHERS AND A PETITION WAS SENT AROUND BY A LIBERAL GROUP BUT SHE IS NOT A NOMINEE! THIS IS A BUNCH OF BUNK! This is wishful thinking on a liberal group's part.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Attn. Nobel Peace Prize committee...do NOT, I repeat, do NOT award the NPP to Cindy Sheehan. Me and countless other American Patriots will commit mass suicide if you do.

She wouldn't be the first publicity hound to win the prize.

I can't see why an idiot like that should even waste the board's time with being considered. She's a maroon.

There's no credibility to the prize, since Arafat was a winner.
