A definition of unanimous I was unaware of.

Well, obviously they didn’t stick to their principled objections — real profiles in courage those Nobel committeepeople...

It looks like they know how much they have compromised themselves.

Yeah, it kinda does. It must be pretty bad when even the prize they awarded Algore seems comparatively well-justified.

So, if the majority was against 0bama getting the prize, how did 0bama get it?

Ah, yes. It’s that special “minority rules” thing they’ve got going there.

At least Algore had a videotaped powerpoint presentation as an “accomplishment”.

I tried to get to this article through the link on Drudge, but the article would flash up momentarily, then disappear. Does this indicate that a large number of people are trying to access this article at once or that someone (the White House?) is desperately trying to censor this article?

the same way that we're going to a proctologist to get nationalized health care.

So, I’ll say the awful and un-pc joke. Affirmative Action?

The sad thing is it is in reality, affirmative action for socialists and anti-Americans—his skin color had little to do with the award.

the Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang (VG) reported... "VG has spoken to a number of sources who confirmed the impression that a majority of the Nobel committee, at first, had not decided to give the peace prize to Barack Obama," the newspaper said... Inger-Marie Ytterhorn, who represented the right-wing populist Progress Party on the committee, led the way in objecting to the choice of Obama because she questioned his ability to keep his promises, the newspaper said. It also said the representative of the Conservative Party, Kaci Kullmann Five, and Aagot Valle, the representative of the Socialist Left, had objections.
