Dennis Rodman wants a Nobel Peace Prize for his NBA diplomacy

Dennis Rodman sat down with Sports Illustrated’s Franz Lidz to talk about his controversial trip to North Korea, saying that his efforts in world diplomacy should be enough to earn him a Nobel Peace Prize.

“My mission is to break the ice between hostile countries,” he said. “Why it’s been left to me to smooth things over, I don’t know. Dennis Rodman, of all people. Keeping us safe is really not my job; it’s the black guy’s [Obama’s] job. But I’ll tell you this: If I don’t finish in the top three for the next Nobel Peace Prize, something’s seriously wrong.”

The former NBA player recently traveled to Pyongyang with a few members of the Harlem Globetrotters and a crew from HBO’s television series “Vice,”Sports Illustrated reported.

Mr. Rodman said he knew very little of North Korea or Kim Jong-un before the trip.

“I didn’t know Kim Jong-un from Lil' Kim. I didn’t know what country he ruled or what went on in the country he ruled,” he told Lidz.

Mr. Rodman later said that Kim is a “friend for life.”

Mr. Rodman said he knew very little of North Korea or Kim Jong-un before the trip.

That makes him more qualified than any of Obama's selections for Ambassador.

At least if they gave Rodman the Nobel Prize, he could finally feel proud about something. /s

Any more the Nobel peace prize is a joke, awarded by brainless Norwegians.

Norwegian jokes may be true after all.

Yes, give Rodman the Peace Prize. Give it to Pee Wee Herman, the Tsarniev brothers, & OJ, too.

That way, there will be NO DOUBT about the character of the recipients.

I say give him one. Why not, Rodman has done as much for the country as 0bama in 2009. Heck, Rodman has accomplished much more than 0bama.

And if Rodman doesn't get one, the decision will be considered racist. After all, Rodman is "blacker" than the other guy, and has slave blood.

When Gorbechev (sp) got the Prize and they ignored Ronald Reagan, I said to hell with them.
