And then consider that the Landmark Legal Foundation, of which Rush Limbaugh is on the board, nominated Lush Rimbaugh for the Nobel Peace Price.

For what? Did the revenues from his Oxycontin purchases drive up the GNP for the impoverished nation of Squatvia?

It was an unsolicited nomination and it carries no weight whatsoever. It's merely a publicity stunt. Only solicited nominations are eligible for Nobel Prize consideration.

I know, I know.

But to dare to think...it's so egregious.

See, what really chaps the ass of the nutcase Righties is that you see no Reagans or Nixons or Tail Gunner Joe McCarthys or Bushes or other conservative heroes on that list. Which, since it is a PEACE prize, is as it should be.

Now, if they ever start up a Nobel Total Asshole Prize, I'll walk to Stockholm to nominate Rush (and reagan, Nixon, et al) myself.
