#392 - He’s More Likely to Win the Orwell War-Is-Peace Prize than the Nobel Peace Prize

Yep, George "Pre-emptive Strike" Bush was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Why in hell? you may reasonably ask.

According to Reuters, "President Bush has been nominated for ousting Iraq's Saddam Hussein but is unlikely to get it since members of the Nobel committee have spoken out against the war in Iraq."

"Bush is out of the question," said Espen Barth Eide, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs.

So who nominated Bush? The Nobel committee won't say, but we’re thinking Karl Rove.
