JOHN KING: The president of the United States, who a year ago this weekend was your campaign rival heading into the final month of the campaign, is the Nobel Peace laureate for 2009. Deserved?

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN: Oh, I’m sure that the president is very honored to receive this award. And Nobel Committee, I can’t divine all their intentions, but I think part of their decision-making was expectations. And I’m sure the president understands that he now has even more to live up to. But as Americans, we’re proud when our president receives an award of that prestigious category.

KING: Did it surprise you, a little more than eight months into office, at a time when, yes, he has set some lofty goals around the world, but he has not won more NATO troops for Afghanistan, he has not convinced the Israelis to do what he says is necessary to sit down with the Palestinians? Were you surprised?

MCCAIN: Well, I think all of us were surprised at — at the decision. But I — I think Americans are always pleased when their president is recognized by something on this order.

McCain spokesperson Brooke Buchanan sends over an unequivocal thumbs-up from McCain:

“I congratulate President Obama on receiving this prestigious award. I join my fellow Americans in expressing pride in our President on this occasion.”

Geraldo agrees with him- idiot!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Everyday McCain proves what an idiot he is. He kisses Obama’s ass more then the Democrats do. This guy never wanted to be President, look at his actions. What a pussy he turned out to be

Who’s ‘we’, McShame? You got a mouse in your pocket?

[JenB987]

In honor of his great admiration and dedication to Dear Leader, John McCain will change his name to “Senator Buttkiss”.

[Frantzie]

I cannot stand Juan McCain. He is worse than Obama.

Juan Pedro McCain pretends to be a Republican while two of his RINO pals from FL and SC pretend.......

[lmarie373]

no need for the “not satire” in the headline we know mccain :D

[pallis]

Poor John, he can’t help being a dipwad.

[DTogo]

[OldNavyVet]

I’m beginning to think Acorn helped get McCain nominated.

[Tublecane]

I think he’s confusing prestigious with ridiculous.

[andy58-in-nh]

If there’s a Nobel Prize for Losers, I think we have a, ahem, “winner”.
