Same with the Presidency but I don't remember that as a funny day.

Trivia question - who was the first winner of the Nobel Peace Prize?
* President Teddy Roosevelt
“The day he got the prize was such a funny day here on Free Republic...”
That certainly was a fun day to be on Free Republic!
Wise fools.
No s..t.
A pack of morons
Wrong. He got it for WHAT he is.
Not who he is.
That was the word I was looking for. I just could not come up with it when I was typing the post. Thanks.

Not so! Roosevelt won in 1906. The first Peace Prize winners (1901) were Henri Dunant and Frederic Passy.
Great minds.
I just can’t get over the blacks who think he is one of them.
I knew it was an affirmation action Nobel from the git-go.
so there is proof that the AP is in the tank for the idiot in the White House.
The Nobel Peace prize is a left wing joke .
AFTER THE OBOZO FIASCO DOES ANYBODY REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PISS PRIZE ANYMORE.
