The Gubernator: You're a funny guy, Tookie. I kill you last.
Tookie: Thanks, Governor.
The Gubernator: Remember when I said I kill you last Tookie?
Tookie: That's right, you said you'd kill me last!
The Gubernator: I lied!

SmithL, I'm gonna nominate YOU for the Nobel Peace Prize for posting this article - in my opinion you have advanced the cause of world peace by braving the hazards of cyberspace and leading this uplifting and enlightening discussion.

Where do I get the nomination forms?

[New Perspective]

Excellent post. Thank you.

[thoughtomator]

Hell, then I myself would have nominated him.

[Rummyfan]

He is an unrepentant murderous thug.

I hope the Governor states this loud and clear tomorrow, through his actions if no other way.

[popdonnelly]

What has the nominee done to promote peace? Founded the Crips and was tried and convicted of murdering four people. For this, he's a hero to the NAACP.

[SmithL]

Thank you, thank you!

I am SO proud!

Is there a check that comes with this?

[Congressman Billybob]

The only useful thing about this latest "Nobel nomination" it that it shows how cheap and meaningless a Nobel nomination is. Anybody can have one. It means nothing.

I do note that this glowing profile of this multiple murderer does not mention his two rapes of other prisoners, which is part of his career as a "model prisoner" according to the Rt. Rev. Jesse L. Jackson.

Well, in another week, Tookie will be dead, and Jesse ... well, Jesse will have to find another scam to shill the public.

If Tookie wins the Nobel Prize posthumously, does the award go to the Crips?

5 and counting.

[popdonnelly]

If the NAACP is really opposed to capital punishment, why doesn't it raise a stink when someone other than an African-American is about to be executed?

[KC Burke]

In the general effort to undermine the legitamacy of our republic and foist socialism on our nation, there has been the 80 year effort to paint it as a corrupt system that condemns the innocent. From Sacco and Vanzetti, to the Rosenberg's and on to Tookie, these people are just pawns selected for their ethnic origin, race, religion or beliefs.

Nominating them for Nobel Prizes, "peace prizes", world citizenship and all sorts fo claptrap is merely a method of promoting it further as a cause celebre in order to make the US judicial system and the US as a whole, corrupt and oppresive when viewed by the weak minded.

NOBEL PISS PRIZE

I think you just get a t-shirt or a coffee mug or something like that. Oh by the way, what size T shirt to you wear - I have to write that in on the form.

Dead Crip walkin'.

"His contributions to anti-gang activities; his children's books and his role in negotiating gang truces has had effects in the United States and internationally," Gasper told AFP.

I say execute him, stick the prize up his a$$ and send the body to Sweden.

He butchered four Americans, a jury convicted him and he still got to live 26 more years.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Good grief, I feel like I just fell down the rabbit hole! This murdering scumbag sits in prison and writes children's books, so that makes him a "good guy"? Paging Saddam, please ask the guards to pass you the white courtesy phone...

[purpleland]

Our educational system wishes to award murderers; this is not surprising.

Liberal theological question: What if Tookie killed Cindy Sheehan?


*Silly hypothetical! Cindy Sheehan is the forerunner among illustrious nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize. If Tookie killed Cindy would he win the Prize? He should. (/sar)

Well that settles it then. Anyone who can get 6 Nobel Peace Prize Nominations must be innocent!
