BREAKING: Rush Limbaugh Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize!

Ha Ha Ha Ha!  Bwa ha ha ha!

I thougt that it was a joke when I saw this.  Then I realized that it was.  A really sick joke on our civilization perpetrated by slimeball Mark Levin.

I guess it just goes to show that anyone can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.  

See the press release on the flip.

Limbaugh, whose daily radio show is heard by more than 20 million people on more than 600 radio stations in the United States and around the world, was nominated for the prestigious award for his "nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin. These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout the world," said Landmark President Mark R. Levin.

Puhleaze!  Limbaugh is the most hypocritical, divisive voice of our time.  Hmm, maybe I'm giving him too much credit...there's Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter, Malkin and basically anyone who shows up on Fox Noise. Levin himself is a total kook.

The best part of all of this is that it gives Matt Drudge a story that he can put right under the news that Al Gore, a legitimate nominee for the Peace Prize, has been nominated.

Please feel free to come up with your own punchlines to my headline.

      to use for those Swedish prostitutes.

      •  I've always heard very good things about Swe....

        eden's women and the art-films they produce.  Apparently, Sweedish women are very athletic in addition to being artistic. So I've heard.

•  actually no he isn't

  nominations are by invitation only. unfortunately for the guy who nominated Limbaugh, he wasn't invited to submit a nomination

  by FleetAdmiralJ on Fri Feb 02, 2007 at 12:59:12 PM PDT

  •  really? that's good news! n/t

    by ilyana on Fri Feb 02, 2007 at 01:19:09 PM PDT

  •  Yep

    He is totally NOT nominated. It just doesn't work that way.

    Hell, if anyone can nominate, then I nominate... Me! Wow! I'm a Peace Prize Nominee! W00t!

    Typical conservative bullshit.

    And of course, now there are 20 million morons out there who will hear the story, never learn the truth, and who will always know in their hearts that Rush was nominated for the Peace Prize.

    Expect many useless bar fights to break out over this one.

•  Mark Levin's letter means shit

  From the Nobel Prize web site:

  Nomination to the Nobel Peace Prize is by invitation only. The Nobel Committee sends confidential forms to persons who are competent and qualified to nominate. The names of the nominees and other information about the nominations cannot be revealed until 50 years later.

  by kellogg on Fri Feb 02, 2007 at 01:02:46 PM PDT

  •  Members of the Norweigian Parliment

    are qualified to nominate, right? I knwo former Nobelists are and I'm hoping Carter nominated him.  He's already voiced his preference for Al.

  I guess it just goes to show that anyone can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

  Anybody can win it, too. As in Henry Kissinger.

  "Breaking" was dissected from every diary ever written here from now until the future, would we have lost anything?

    you dumbass. Removed, edited, excised - yeah, that's what I'm gonna go with - excised.

        painful memory for you.

          I'm not the one who sat out Vietnam on my giant ass-pimple.

•  Rush deserves credit

  for the name + pejorative = degrading insult approach.  That was truly an innovation that has caught on among the left, right, and middle.

  examples include "Feminazis," Chickenhawks, or Rush Limpcock.

  I think there's pretty much equal opportunity disrespect thanks to Rush's radio innovations during the '90s.

  He just better hope that the FCC doesn't reinstitute the equal-time provision.

  •  The term chickenhawk is not of recent vintage n/t

•  All of this was discussed ad nauseum

  during the Shiavo fiasco, when some quack doctor was touted as having been nominated for the "Nobel Peace Prize in Medicine" [sic].  Just because some congresscritter sent a letter.

  by kellogg on Fri Feb 02, 2007 at 01:05:11 PM PDT

•  I Nominate Rush

  For the Ultimate Fighting finals. He'll have a better chance of winning there, and is much more likely to die of internal bleeding.

  by howth of murph on Fri Feb 02, 2007 at 01:07:38 PM PDT

  •  Oh yeah! A great idea...

    Rush vs. Anderson Silva ... oh wait... Rush cannot be a middleweight... I guess he's gonna have to fight Tim Silvia, or maybe Cro Cop... either fight would be very satisfactory to see...

•  Nobel prizes don't have an open nomination

  One must be asked by the Nobel committee to nominate someone.  I think we can take it as given that no one asked for shit from Mark Levin. So, calm down.  He's just an idiot.  

  by sanrand on Fri Feb 02, 2007 at 01:10:17 PM PDT

  •  It was referred to as....

    ...an unsolicited nomination on AOL where I read about it. (Sorry I don't have the link anymore.) I'm sure that anyone is free to write a letter to the committee and nominate anyone they please. Maybe I'll nominate my  dog. Because she's bigger and louder, she keeps the two cats from killing each other. And if that ain't peace, I don't know what is.

    by MariaSquared on Fri Feb 02, 2007 at 01:25:39 PM PDT

•  well, I for one am holding out

  for Ann Coulter's peace prize nomination.  Or Philip A. Cooney's nomination in chemistry.  Or Bill Frist's nomination for a Nobel prize in medicine for development of long-range video diagnostic methods.

    a post-humous nomination for the man who should be their hero - Adolph Something...

  Dick Cheney runs marathon

  Bill O'Reilly admits defeat to Olbermann

  Ann Coulter relevant

  Also, in an unrelated story, I hear that Sean Hannity will be squaring off against three amateur ignorant pricks on an upcoming episode of Spike's Pros Vs. Joes.

•  Conservatives always sneer

  at peace.  Given the Iraq Civil War is raging Conservatives are compelled to mock the Nobel Peace Prize.  What better way to mock it than nominate someone who disrespects it like drug addict Rush Limbaugh?

  •  Give Credit Where It's Due

    He may very well have handed the Senate to the Democrats with that assinine display.

    The Democratic Party should very publicly award him something for his help, some one-time award, call it the "Own Goal" or something...

  He thought he was being nominated for a Nobel Pizza Prize.

•  Reagan

  I'm pretty sure I remember Ronny "We start bombing in five minutes" Reagan being nominated every year, too.  No big deal.  I'm sure most of the Committee will be going "Who?".

    should laugh its ass off .

•  I Listed to This Last Night

  I was driving home and I was flipping channels, since the local Air America station was broadcasting hockey. So I listened to about 15 minutes of Mark Levin blathering on, giving his listeners a choice between voting for Al Gore or Rush Limbaugh.

  Surprise! Every listener voted for RUSH! Oh what a Rush it was! Some wanted to vote for Mark Levin, but that wasn't allowed. There was one listener that was silenced, they hit the mute button on the tape delay fast enough that all you could hear was a minor blip. Mark explained that someone tried to say something they shouldn't. I guessed it was someone that disagreed with them.

  There was no real discussion, just rote hatred of Al Gore.

  I had already heard a bit of John Zeigler going ballistic over the UN report on Global Warming. His object of derision was Nancy Pelosi saying "The debate is over". He must have missed the debate! He wants to hold the debate! What he doesn't realize is he wants to debate science in non-scietific terms.

  Gad, it was a LONG drive last night.

  by Tuba Les on Fri Feb 02, 2007 at 01:48:59 PM PDT

•  Has anyone taken Levins pants down over this?

  Since his nomination is obviously a lie...maybe it would be a good thing to expose it openly and show what kind of character the man has..or in this case has not.

  noble pea?  I think you mean ignoble pea brain.  He already won that.

  •  There actually is

    an Ignobel Prize.  I'd love to nominate him for it but I don't think he's even done the necessary (bad) science to qualify.  Maybe he could emcee it or something.
