Yet another assclown pinhead douchebag Republicant.....
...sounds a hue and cry with great fury over the President's Nobel.

Here I'll be eloquent, "go fuck yourself, assclown." (Oh, NY Times, it's time to shove these fuckers off your op-ed pages).

Heckuva Job, Barack

By ROSS DOUTHAT

This was Barack Obama’s chance.

Here was an opportunity to cut himself free, in a stroke, from the baggage that’s weighed his presidency down — the implausible expectations, the utopian dreams, the messianic hoo-ha.

Here was a place to draw a clean line between himself and all the overzealous Obamaphiles, at home and abroad, who poured their post-Christian, post-Marxist yearnings into the vessel of his 2008 campaign.

Here was a chance to establish himself, definitively, as an American president — too self-confident to accept an unearned accolade, and too instinctively democratic to go along with European humbug.

He didn’t take it. Instead, he took the Nobel Peace Prize.

Big mistake.

People have argued that you can’t turn down a Nobel. Please. Of course you can. Obama is a gifted rhetorician with world-class speechwriters. All he would have needed was a simple, graceful statement emphasizing the impossibility of accepting such an honor during his first year in office, with America’s armed forces still deep in two unfinished wars.

3. Rude, boorish, petty...
And nowhere near Nobel Prize quality humans will always say pitiful, jealous things like this.

Poor dears... bless their little hearts.

4. Here's the question, would that shit head turn it down?
Oh, he's eloquent about giving out unwanted advice, but you can bet he'd grab at it, in the impossible chance that he ever got it.

9. Yep, the damned-if--you-do, damned-if-you-don't school of opinionating
But as for whom Mr. Douthat is fooling, I think the editors and publishers of the New York Times are the beginning, middle and end of that line up. A desperate search for "balance" in that they think it will win them points with the conservawhacko crowd.

7. their heads are exploding - the poor dears
As a properly trained liberal I was listening to the local NPR station (of which yes I am a member) when I heard about the Nobel Peace prize.

I could not WAIT to get into work to watch the chips explode in the little minds of the reps. I have to say it has been quite a show.

personally I think we the people should have gotten the Nobel Prize for saving the rest of the world from another 4 years of their crap.
