While they should be condemned for giving it to Obama and Algore, I’m not sure the original intent for the award is a whole lot better.

Nothing to see there. They’re being criticized for not being liberal enough.

Even some leftists were not comfortable with 0bama getting the prize. They understood that it would affect the way people look at the Prizes. They’re right. More people realized that the prize is political and consider it a joke.

Too late. (yawn)
That silly “prize” is now and forever a laughingstock.
Nobody takes it seriously anymore.

Irena Sendler lost the Peace Prize to Gore. She helped smuggle hundreds of children out of the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII.

The Nobel Committee [getting humiliated and shamed] SUPPOSEDLY was going to give it to her the next year - but she died ...

Only living people can be awarded a Nobel [although, this year, they DID give one to a dead guy since they had already decided he was going to get it before he died].

Lets see ... saving hundreds of childre from death vs. making a damn movie ... Hmmmmm ...

Who is investigating them, and why? It’s their award. Let them award it to whomever they want, and get laughed at and derided to their hearts’ content.

I truly expected them to award a Prize to Mooschelle, in keeping with their goofy prizes of the past few years.....

It's a Joke.

No big deal - I think they just merged it with the Lenin Prize sometime in the 1990’s when no one was looking.

The TV Land Awards have more of an impact on society then the Nobie Prize.

No one gives a s___t about this piece of crap award anymore. It has about as much value as a plastic toy in the bargain basement bin at your local discount store. Conservatives should simply ignore it.

They’ve egg on their faces. The Peace prize of late has been a disgrace.

In areas of Science; I still read those awards.

Too little too late. The prize is a bad joke and everybody knows it. So the buffoons don’t like being laughed at. They should get used to it. The bell has been rung and there’s no going back. Obama is such a self-centered, unaccomplished wrecking ball of a narcissist, he eventually destroys anyone who plays ball w him. He should put another notch in his belt. He delivered the coup de grace to an outfit that mortally wounded itself via Arafat, but has taken way too long to outright die.

The Three Stooges have more credibility (and stones) than the Noobie commiemitte, jerky jury, or (snicker) prize.
