Carter's Nobel

[jdsmith]

Given that the Nobel is a career-summarizing award, it often has an obit feel to it. Doesn't everyone here (especially all of you who worry that Carter will get no respect from the Right when he goes to meet his Maker) (who will tell him, "Good job, Jimmy" and hand him a hammer to help out with repairs in Heaven) remember that the Right was unanimously magnanimous in congratulating him on the award?

I mean they WERE, weren't they?

2. I could've sworn...

reagan won three Nobel prize awards.

3. I remember it like it was yesterday!

Even the folks who nominated bush* and BLiar acknowledged that the better man had won.
Karl Rove sent a congratulatory singing telegram, and Limbaugh sent a balloon bouquet and a box of bonbons. :party:

4. Nobel? Noble?

My own view of the Nobel Peace Prize is pretty much like yours -- that it is something that it a real accomplishment, and something that deserves the highest form of congratulations.

And yet, when I have pointed out that an Albanian Nun who ministered to the poor and sick in Calcutta won the Nobel Peace Prize, people -- right her on DU -- have told me that the Nobel Peace Prize is meaningless, and that it does not reflect any thing about a person's goodness or theirt character -- and that it definitely does not deserve congratulations.

5. Imagine that!

Some DUers don't like Mother Theresa. I'm shocked!!

Did you know that there are even some DUers who are anti-choice?
