This is the best RealPolitikal summation I have seen of the idiocy of a Peace Prize for Carter. This item is towards the end of Friday's postings. The source URL will change to something like http://www.jerrypournelle.com/mail/mail226.html#Friday in a couple of days.

Jimmy's all too public remark regarding his problem controlling his 'lust' made me wonder then whether he was playing with a full deck.
Like that other (democrat) foreign policy failure clinton, Jimmy would appear to be unable to fully control his baser inclinations.
And, also like clinton, Jimmy has demonstrated an inability (or unwillingness) to keep his more embarrassing impulses private.
I'm convinced that clinton's job performance problems were exacerbated by his demented predilection to repeatedly masturbate himself and those around him.
Could Jimmy have been similarly driven to distraction?

Well they had to give him something, and the prize for Economics would really be a stretch.

The Most Ridiculous Nobel Peace Price yet:Just wait till GW Bush is re-elected President, then Bill Clinton will get the Nobel Peace Prize. Guess the Libs that run the Nobel Peace Prize are turning political.

Granting Carter the peace prize at such a moment and with such motivation robs Carter of any honor he might legitimately have felt upon receiving the award under different circumstances. In fact, bestowing the peace prize for such obvious political reasons robs the board of any future credibility and throws doubt on past recipients as well. The members have robbed the prize of honor by their dishonorable behavior.
