The lefties are pulling out all the stops on this one. They can hang his picture between Arafart and Nelson Mangele.

Chirac's nomination is "good news for him I suppose, it's good news for France as a whole," the shy spokesman said. France is a hole alright.......

Geeez. They give the peace prize to anyone who sits back and does nothing while people are being slaughtered, starved, and tourtered around him.
Wow. What an honor! - NOT!

It originated in The Simpsons' 7th Season, Episode 2F32 with a comment by Groundskeeper Willie when he was drafted to teach French during a teachers' strike. He said, "Bonjourrrrr! Ye cheese eatin' surrender monkeys!".
BTW it's not the only anti-French comment uttered on The Simpsons according to this discussion thread: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&th=eef024d02ef5e149&rnum=6

The "peace" and "literature" prizes are constantly battling for the position of most political and least credible. Try as I might I cannot find official criteria for the award of the Nobel Peace Prize. I thought I had once read something about reducing armies. That would put Bush right up there after an Iraq war.

Willie seems to me to be a "Black Watch" type of guy. Thanks for the info.
