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.

There was a list of nominees posted on here this morning, and no Sheehan on it

[Hegemony Cricket]

She's a legend in her own mind...

Yes. It has become the Nobel Pacifist prize, and she fits perfectly.

[E-Mat]

She's not really a finalist?

The Nobel Peace Prize has lost all of its original meaning. Look at who has received this formerly prestigious award in the recent past: Bishop Desmond Tutu, Jimmy Carter, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Yassir Arafat, Kofi Annan, Makhail Gorbachev, and the U.N. Peacekeeping Forces. Why not Sheehan?

From the petition website:

Signatures: 538
Goal: 50,000
Deadline: 8-14-2006

I would say that they missed their goal by a little.

She wasn't even nominated, near as I can tell. Just that she "says" she was nominated.

The Pope is mean to Islamic terrorists though, so how could he ever get the award? If you don't promote Jihad you aren't very politically sensitive and compassionate!

[Churchillspirit]

Seems logical in view of the standards (or lack of) required to be awarded the peace prize.

Hahahahaha :)

Plus the fact that 3/4 of the signatures are a joke like "media whore" or "hugo Chavez"

[mware]

JPII didn't get the Nobel because of his pro life stand.

I guess he will just have to be satified with sainthood and the thanks of the millions of people in Poland who are free from Communism because of him and Ronald Reagan.

[Impeach98]

As an American of 50% Polish blood I am eternally grateful to the Pope and Ronald Reagan (and Lech Walesa) for helping my people achieve freedom!!!

[NormsRevenge]

Sure, why not? Let's get her canonized too while we're at it..

Better yet, Hell, let's just embalm her and put her in a glass coffin next to Lenin.

We can all celebrate St. Cindy Day and go out and stomp on the graves of fallen servicemen , including her son. I'm sure she'd appreciate that.

[Just mythoughts]

She has worked full time for the title and considering some of the past recipients she as good as they come. Sorry Bill Clinton I would vote for her over you.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Huh? You mean Sheehan beat out the religion of peace for the Nobel?

It was obviously rigged.

[Dog Gone]

She'd be slightly better than Michael Moore, although there is no real difference.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Michael is fatter.

More like putting icing on a fruit cake.

They are both equally unpatriotic and anti-military. They are planning civil disobedience on Election Day outside the White House.
