Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we’ll take a look at the past week with Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson of the Hugh Hewitt Show. Duane and I will aim to not just win a Nobel Peace Prize for this broadcast, but also a Pulitzer, an Oscar, and the NCAA football championship Why not? We’re just as qualified as the latest winner of the Nobel! All of this and more — and stay tuned for a preview of tonight’s Hugh Hewitt Show.

Give me ideas, I live 10 minutes from the Nobel Institute here in Oslo, I can deliver a message, any message.

I already made an ad for their prestigious prize.

Now there is finally an award for somebody just showing up and it is called the Nobel Peace Prize. Way to go Barry! We have left the twilight zone three freeway exits back and entered the Theatre of the absurd.

Why should the Nobel Peace Prize come as a surprise? The Messiah is destroying our country and the State run media has been Barry’s willing accomplice since his election campaign. The media has been his personal cheer-leading squad. Unemployment Up! No problem… So are his approval ratings (according to media manipulated surveys). They have ignored his gaffes like visiting 57 states and not being able to speak Austrian (I don’t think he can speak German either but I bet he can speak Arabic since he studied Islam and the Koran in Indonesia and who knows where else). The press willingly covers the sycophant town hall meetings that The One attends as well as his Potemkin Village moments such as the pro socialized medicine doctors in white coats in the Rose Garden or the handpicked adoring troops all with the same brand of camera during his “courageous “visit to Iraq. Taken individually, these things may not mean much to some people and nothing to the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers. But together, this string of sickening propaganda and fawning by the media take this country to the point where perception does become reality and in the end is the Nobel Prize.

The real reason the America-hating committee awarded The One The Prize is to “honor” him for running around the world trashing and apologizing for the American people and our “arrogant” nation. He also received the award for coddling America’s enemies while distancing himself and our nation from our trusted allies. He also received the award for his efforts to systematically destroy our nation from the inside out. He is getting the award for his attempts to dismantle our system of government, destroy capitalism, and weaken our defenses to make us vulnerable from internal and external threats. Putting all that aside, the number one reason for the committee selecting Barry was his premeditated assault to weaken the U.S. Dollar to a point that it will no longer be the world standard currency – especially if OPEC decides to go off the dollar in favor of a basket of “world currencies” which would be an unmitigated disaster with our dependence on foreign oil and the lack of readily available miracle “green” alternatives. The sickening part about this move is that neither Obama, Geitner, nor the Treasury Department is doing anything so shore up the dollar or fight for the dollar. So now Obama gets to go back to Scandinavia and pick up an award in Norway after losing the Olympics in Denmark. In many ways, with his lack of accomplishments, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize may be an even bigger embarrassment for Barry than not getting the Olympics for Chicago.

By the way, anyone can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. When Clinton was whoring for the award, Rush Limbaugh joked how even he was nominated for the prize as well. Now that Barry has won it, perhaps there is hope for these two nominees. At least Rush should have a shot at it!

“Does Nobel prize clerk requires photo ID and birth certificate when picking up? I smell a trap.”

Rachel Sklar: BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK (That’s the sound I imagine Hillary Clinton’s head made banging against the wall this morning.)

Twitters on fire this morning.

Affirmative action at it’s logical conclusion.
