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 wonder if Ms Sheehan has any idea what she is wearing. Oh yea, she probably does. http://www.nisbett.com/symbols/printer/peace_sign.htm
Hopefully they will run their civil disobedience into a felony.
They used to lock people like here away, but since the damned Dems managed to get most insane asylums/hospital facilities closed down almost 30 years ago, these people wander about...free.
My same reaction.
Wasn't Mother Teresa quoted as saying if she were to give the Nobel Peace Prize to anybody, she would give it to the Devil?
Somebody on the Commission must have read that quote.
Thanks for the ping.
WARNING! MORE THAN A LAUGH-A-MINUTE!
Hilarious FReeper comments bump!
What a joke!
Thanks for the ping!
Amy Carter - I would give it to her for her advice to Daddy.
I suppose the science prizes have some credibility left. Literature and Peace - ha!
True.
Carter, Mandela, Arafat. Sheehan, yeah sounds about right. "Prize" is meaningless and unimportant as she is.
LOL. I thought the same thing.
anyone can nominate anybody
But I wouldn't put it past the Nobel committee to award it to her.

Seems to me she's the logical choice to follow the evil Jimmy Carter.
I could care less about the nobel peace prize. Some of the past winners are Jimmy Carter,Kofi Annan, & Yassar Arafat. I don't like any of them either.

Exactly, the Nobel Peace Prize has become meaningless.
