Secretary of states legacy increasingly linked to Iranian regime fortunes
Growing speculation that John Kerry will receive a Nobel Peace Prize for finalizing the Iranian nuclear deal is generating renewed criticism of his close relationship with the Iranian foreign minister, Javad Zarif, a key public face for the theocratic regime who is rumored to be a probable co-recipient with Kerry.
Rumors have been circulating for months that Kerry and Zarif will be co-selected for the prize. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a leading Swedish think-tank, recommended in July that the two be selected for the Nobel in 2016.
Lawmakers and Washington insiders who have worked for years on the Iran portfolio have reacted with shock to the rumors, telling the Washington Free Beacon in multiple interviews that both Kerry and Zarif are unfit to receive the prize.
We have seen Nobel Prizes that appeared to be awarded to people who have acted staunchly to the detriment of Israels existence, and if that is their inclination this time, I think Secretary Kerry should be first runner up for the Nobel Prize, right behind the Ayatollah, said Rep. Louie Gohmert (R., Texas).

Perhaps Pootie will get one next for his noble work in Syria.
I pick one of the more popular hookers at random from someplace. Piece, peace; at least part of it will be appropriate.
If the Nobel Peace Prize Committee decides to further destroy its once-honorable reputation by giving its award to John Kerry and Javad Zarif, what exactly will the Committee proclaim that it’s giving the award for?
For successfully negotiating a treaty?
But it’s NOT a treaty.
If the Iran deal were a treaty, it would have had to be approved by two-thirds of the Senate to become effective. But that hasn’t happened. In fact, two thirds of the Senate DISapproves of the deal.
So if John Kerry receives the accolades of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, he will be receiving them for doing something that his own country, under its Constitution, does not recognize him as having done.
Good. Then let Kerry and the Nobel Committee own it. And when it all goes to hell in a few years (or less) their silly little prize will be devalued even more than it already has been.
Not that far fetched ... they gave one to Jimuh Cahtuh and His Arrogance for doing nothing other than denouncing Israel and Jews.
Especially when Iran’s troops enter Iraq, Syria and start bombing Israel. Hang on, it’s going to be a bumpy ride....
They regretted giving obama his peace prize, will giving Kerry one be any different?
Hasn’t Hillary gotten hers yet? Now if that isn’t an affront on womanhood. /sarc
Reminder bump... Zarif’s Kerry’s go-to guy in the boat fiasco
