Secretary of state’s legacy increasingly linked to Iranian regime fortunes
Growing speculation that John Kerry will receive a Nobel Peace Prize for finalizing the Iranian nuclear deal is generating renewed criticism of his close relationship with the Iranian foreign minister, Javad Zarif, a key public face for the theocratic regime who is rumored to be a probable co-recipient with Kerry.
Rumors have been circulating for months that Kerry and Zarif will be co-selected for the prize. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a leading Swedish think-tank, recommended in July that the two be selected for the Nobel in 2016.
Lawmakers and Washington insiders who have worked for years on the Iran portfolio have reacted with shock to the rumors, telling the Washington Free Beacon in multiple interviews that both Kerry and Zarif are unfit to receive the prize.
“We have seen Nobel Prizes that appeared to be awarded to people who have acted staunchly to the detriment of Israel’s existence, and if that is their inclination this time, I think Secretary Kerry should be first runner up for the Nobel Prize, right behind the Ayatollah,” said Rep. Louie Gohmert (R., Texas).

Nobel Joke Prize
give them obama’s
The world has been become hilarious!!
God must be thinking “why did I create these creatures. They reward what leads to violence and avoid what leads to peace”
I hear Cracker Jack is now inserting Nobel Prizes into select boxes.
One has only so much barf to give...
They should rename it the Nobel Piss Prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize has been a total joke for years. If Jean-Francois gets it, it will be a complete farce.
Satire and reality are no longer distinguishable in our national politics/culture.
I thought this was a joke at first......
Let’s see: Al Gore, for lying about a hockey stick, Obozo, who never did anything for anyone but himself, and now Kerry, who signed the worse deal for the US in our history. Methinks the Nobel people have their collective heads up their collective a$$es.
I think the Nobel committee could have picked a random stew bum from along side the Hollywood Fwy and found a more deserving wnner.
Don’t forget Jimmy carter and Yasser Arafat...
Kerry to get a Peace Prize for Giving the Atom Bomb to Iran? What’s wrong with this picture?
Exactly. I wouldn’t be surprised if even HE is pouring himself a few whisky tangos.
Opps! You’re right...another set of deserving people.
If I were Him I would. He’s probably crying, if God cries.
They put all the names in a hat then pick the one stuck to the bottom of their shoe
Just when did the nobel judges become comprised of mentally ill held in mental institutions?
