CBS’ Chip Reid, who loves such things as Dick Cheney, is furious at the White House and Robert Gibbs for essentially giving Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, and then accepting it. Where’s Ronald Reagan’s Prize? Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and Barack Obama — all gays.
This is a PARTISAN THING and will split America in half, again, and if it keeps splitting in half, eventually it will reach zero. This is math. Didn’t win that prize, did you, Obama?
(It is kind of silly that Obama would win this when he is keeping a significant chunk of Bush’s detention policies in order and bombing the dickens out of Afghanistan. But hey, who cares? People are insane. They were insane when they awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Henry Kissinger, the most amoral figure in American foreign policy in the last half-century. Who cares? Some dumb medal not worth the intrinsic value of its metals. Anyway. Congrats, Obama! The Corner is hilarious right now.)

Awwww… like Raygun would have remembered it.
Facebook is unbearable this morning.
Of course those three are gay and won the medal. It’s significantly harder to bomb brown folks when concentrating on your ‘ass-kegels’.
I voted for Obama, I think he could be a great President, and God Bless, but if he wins the Nobel Peace Prize it means there is precious little peace in the world. No one should win an award based on what they want to do or might do or inspiration they may offer.
Ronald Reagan didn’t deserve one either.
People who are aid workers in the Sudan or Red Cross workers in disaster zones or, well you can name a lot of organizations and people before we get to President Obama.
Again, what adult male goes by the name of “chip”? And correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t Reagan a warmonging motherfucker? I mean just cuz he didn’t actually start any real wars doesn’t mean he didn’t “mong” them.
JAN OBERG, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE TRANSNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR PEACE AND FUTURE RESEARCH:
I am concerned at the drift of the prize that is invariably going to politicians who have been, or who are still, involved in warfare.
Obama has not left Iraq, he has stepped it up in Afghanistan. It is somewhat paradoxical to give it to a president who presides over the largest military arsenal in world history.
Republicans aren’t the only one apparently…
Are you trying to break another of Nancy’s hips here?
Maybe now Obama will be considered accomplished enough to get that honorary Arizona State degree.
Oh. BTW…I got that from BBC World website…so tho’t of sharing…not my personal opinion…
The only acceptable Gibbs-related answer is ASK THE FUCKING NORWEGIANS, YOU DINK.
Reagan didn’t win because he split vote that year with Roberto D’Aubuisson.
Ronald Reagan already won his prize. It’s the make-believe legacy he has with the GOP.
Can I please point out that 1) 20% to 80% is not half, and 2) If you keep splitting something in half, it will not reach zero anyway. Also.
[re=430847]Sharkey[/re]: If you keep breaking her hips in half, and breaking them again, eventually Nancy will have zero hips. Then she will win Dancing With the Stars.
Okay, aggrieved conservatives. The Nobel Peace Prize is indeed like a Best Head of State Video Music Award, and in a truly post-racial America, Kanye would have been there in Stockholm to interrupt the committee and tell them that Ronald Reagan tore down one of the best walls ever.
It’s also funny to hear the party/ideological wing that lauded the gave Presidential Medals of Freedom to war-mongering, incompetent cockstains (Tenet, Bremer, that other jagoff) are up in arms about this.
Nothing says “fuck you Bush!” like a Nobel Prize. The world would be a better place if we told people to fuck off instead of bombing their wedding receptions.
So, in the last week, we have learned that the only thing that makes Conservatives happy is America failing, and the thing that makes them go totally ape-shit insane is America being rewarded.
I’m more excited about the Dodger win last night.. and about us finally bombing the moon
Chip Reid is an unbelievably ginormous dick. So, something Obama didn’t seek, but won, and Raygun didn’t, is somehow Obama’s fault that this will divide the Nation even more? How about: the right wing in this country is batshit insane and hateful and that’s why the nation is “divided”? Sheeeesh.
[re=430856]comicbookguy[/re]: Math zero!
Actually when they gave the prize to Kissinger they also gave it to his Vietnamese counterpart who negotiated the Paris peace accords. They fact that Kissinger got a “peace” prize was enough to convince Vietnam that the whole thing was BS and they turned it down.
Sometimes you need to crack a few heads to ensure peace in our time. And a little more discernment as to which brown people to incinerate is not a bad thing, if you’re looking at the overall, with the proper degree of moral relativism.
The apoplectic wingnut subspecies among is being driven absolutely around the corner on this outrageous development. They – like a lot of the insane – are fully capable of holding two diametrically opposed ideas at the same time, but it makes them just about shit their pants: The Nobel Peace Prize is a great thing that they campaigned for Reagan to win, and, the Nobel Peace Prize is a piece of shit/meaningless left winger contrivance that no one, particularly Reagan, would want to win.
I knew Newell would get his lick in this morning. This, much like Al Gore’s prize, is a judgment on that cretinous dumbass Dubya and what a disaster he was. Someone commented earlier that this is the first judgment Dubya is getting when he said that “History” would judge his administration and its policies. Here ya go, first of many such judgments dipshit.
On the other hand Hopey made some relatively sane comment about how the Prize is awarded to boost momentum for causes. World Peace? Nukular Disarmamamenting? Pfft. Anyone can do that.
It had to happen one of these days.
The Wingularity.
This is IT, people – Teh Big One.
If you’re going out today, dress in brown, that’s all I’m saying.

I’ll also point out that George W. Bush has a prize he doesn’t deserve. His freedom.
Who is the lady sitting next to the Chipster and how did she manage to keep her face absolutely emotionless?
Reagan won his Nobel Peace Prize for liberating the concentration camps back when he was a soldier in WWII. At least that’s the way he remembered it.
Really though, this prize isn’t for President Obama so much as it is a recognition of how fucking painful it was for the rest of the planet when George Dubya Dumbass was doing donuts all over the civilized world’s nice front yard and wiping his ass with the Geneva Conventions. That we’ve reduced the amount of pain and suffering by a smidgen has gotten them so ecstatic that, relatively, it’s a marvelous sight to behold.
[re=430845]Crank Tango[/re]: What adult male goes by the name of “chip”, you ask? I think the answer would be a closeted gay man from the American South.
The real question is has this illegitimate Prez cheapened the award too much for Bono?
Somebody call the hazmat team for cleanup, I hear Rush’s head completely exploded in his studio this morning.
[re=430861]Mojopo[/re]: How about dropping a bomb on Crawford to see if there is water in the rocks there?
[re=430864]freakishlystrong[/re]: Chip’s got a point. Before today there was no partisan divide.
[re=430857]user-of-owls[/re]: Holy crap. I had not thought of that.
Do these people really have no memory of the illegal selling of arms and drugs to finance a covert war in Central America? The difference between Reagan and Nixon is that Reagan could not operate a tape recorder.
Reagan did the opposite of what the prize rewards.
From Wikipedia: According to Nobel’s will, the Peace Prize should be awarded “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
Reagan built thousands of nukes and acted like a nuclear cowboy intent on destroying all commies.
If you think The Corner is worked up check out freerepublc.com! And all this talk of Obama’s lack of humility means only one thing. He’s black.
[re=430856]comicbookguy[/re]: Czarcasm!
Chip Reid auditions for his life-long wet dream, his own show on FAUX.
[re=430876]V572625694[/re]: cuz “lindsay” was already taken?
Peace has a liberal bias, bomb it!
Hey Reid-tard: events don’t divide America, people divide America. Basically by saying the nonsense you say.
Silly Wonkette, “Some dumb medal not worth the intrinsic value of its metals.” I believe it’s worth $1.4 million worth of said metals.
Shorter Chip Reid: What good are all the blowjobs I gave the Gipper back in the day if only liberals win Nobel Peace Prizes?
Hey Chip, if it makes you feel better, if there was a Nobel “I hate poor people prize”, the Republicans and especially Reagan would be all over them.
[re=430842]Snarkalicious[/re]: Epic Win(!!!) for figuring out a way to say “ass kegels” on a thread about the Nobel Peace Prize. And this is NOT SNARK. (Are you a bottom, too?)
[re=430901]Thechansen[/re]: K. Lo seems to be upset because Obama hasn’t immediately offered to donate the money to charity. Preferably a Catholic one. That saves fetuses.
[re=430903]imissopus[/re]: Well, did they taste good or not?
Gibbs to “Chip:” I guess Ronald Reagan’s Nobel prize is up your ass, “Chip.”
[re=430876]V572625694[/re]: Of course, I’m no Ivy leaguer, but in my Southern public university they taught us that Delaware was not in the South.
Me thinks “Chip” appears to need a very large enema to remove his considerable rectal blockage.
[re=430892]Jim Newell[/re]: Check your line, Jim. Looks like you hooked one.
You know, its not just the Nobel prize thats splitting this country in half, why, any prize or even praise of Obama splits this country in half. You know, its splitting this country in half whenever anyone supports him, or when he accomplishes things. When you come right down to it, any positive accomplishment by Obama, any respect or deference given him, even smiling at him, these things are all tearing this nation apart. Yes, even letting him live another day, each day he keeps living, its tearing this country apart; what is Obama going to do to stop tearing this country apart?
[re=430909]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: Now I am totally straight and all, but may i suggest the term “keistergels”?
So, Reagan should have gotten a prize for invading Grenada? Anybody remember that debacle? Thought not.
This is what is killing me today – Chip, you ignorant slut – OBAMA DID NOT NOMINATE HIMSELF FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. He had nothing to do with it. And as he is also not a member of the nominating committee, nor is Gibbs, you complete jackass, how the hell would either of them know why or why not someone else didn’t get it the past. They do not have a list of the nominees, they do not have an insight into the secret workings of the selection committee, Jesus F’in Christ! I love the idea that winning the NPP is somehow Obama’s fault, when he had nothing to do with it.
hooray for the liberal media!
just once i wish someone would give these idiots a thorough explanation of exactly why ronald reagan was such a piece of crap, and one of the worst things to happen to this country in the last half century.
the beatification of st. ronnie is one of the things that really enrages me.
[re=430922]TGY[/re]: Which came quickly after the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon. And Reagan PULLED OUT THE TROOPS!
I’m already nauseated by criticism the Prez hasn’t ‘done’ anything. Those that say that are living in Zombieland. If the internets et al aren’t proof enough, words ARE deeds. The right ones change the world. Did WMD or yellowcake or I have a dream change the world? Epic meh.
[re=430920]Prommie[/re]: Uhhhhhh…..
tear himself in half? Yeah, I’m going with that. On the internet.
[re=430920]Prommie[/re]: Tearing this country apart is tearing this country apart.
And speaking of St. Ronald I expect Lady Noonington to come out with a special opinion on why he was the greatest peacemaker since Jesus or one of those guys.
Chip is not destined to reach old age. Ever meet a Grandpa Chip? Me neither. Enjoy it while it lasts, NewsWeasel.
But…but…but, Reagan!!!1
I wonder, do conservatives have to change their pants every time they utter his name?
That last paragraph is just about fucking perfect. Thank you for it.
Just imagine the humongous oozing puddle of flaming bile had Obama won the Olympics, too.
[re=430845]Crank Tango[/re]: Chip Reid is a butthurt skidmark on the underwear of journalism, paid to help us forget things like Iran/Contra & the establishment’s enabling of W’s multiple disasters. For this he is paid a 6-figure salary and is a bargain at that price. He also sports a combo baby/gay face. His utter & complete lack of self-awareness makes him perfect for the job, and also explains why he allows people to call him Chip. Like almost all White House reporters, Chip’s balls have been surgically removed, which is why his face has that puffy look.
[re=430845]Crank Tango[/re]: except for that whole little Nicaragua thing…they are still trying to recover from Reagans illegal meddling.
International trading in drugs for guns, yea, that will serve the cause of ‘peace’.
[re=430920]Prommie[/re]: The claim that donating the money to charity is admission that he is tearing country apart in 3…2..
Perhaps the Nobel committee considered that having the worlds great superpower agree to follow the Geneva Convention and attempt to talk with it’s enemies before going to war with them, equated to aiding the cause of peace.
I love how the update graphic is “Obama peace prize win polarizes Web.”
OH NOES HOPEY WHEN WILL YOU STOP HURTING THE INTERNETS
Damn selfish uppity FailPrez…
[re=430924]sarcasticusername[/re]: Wait until the put the statue of Reagan in the Capitol Rotunda. I’m not even kidding about that.
[re=430872]chascates[/re]: great observation. Bush and his sidekick Dick should be in the slammer. they should be eternally grateful to have the choice to fly off to Paraguay in case things get too legal minded in the Justice department
Reagan didn’t win because Norway was actually part of THE EVIL EMPIRE he was always prattling on about.
I mean, have you been to Ikea? If that isn’t evil…
[re=430957]Cocktoastin[/re]: really…..you may be on to something.
I really feel like a much bigger kick to the leg of the Bush administration was when Obama was given the World’s Best Dad coffee mug by Sasha and Malia on Father’s Day. WHY DIDN’T THEY GIVE REAGAN ONE??!?!?111
Wait a minute! Didn’t Reagan win the “Permanently fuck up everything good about the United States award?” He didn’t? Well, by golly, he should have!!
I was ready to give Obama the Nobel Prize just for beating McCain.
I think the Nobel committee already addressed Reagan by giving Nelson Mandela the prize.
Why did they award the Nobel Prize to the person who took donations from Roman Polanski’s defenders?
[re=430920]Prommie[/re]: Once again, all part of the evil conspiracy type plan for Hitler to take over the world.
Chip Reid::reportage as Drano::enema
Of course Obama will do the right thing with the prize money and donate it to ACORN.
[re=430884]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Does he even go to Crawford anymore? If not, I’d recommend f-bombing Texas as a whole.
[re=430927]DoctorCulturae[/re]: Yes- words do change the world. thank you! And I am also sick of people here saying what has he done? I posted this on a different topic but why is it that repubs will support anything that one of theirs does- no matter how awful but Dems and liberals – we tear down positive things on our side(not me) Lots of people here are doing so- and Harry Reid. So I salute Barry Hopey Soetero Hussein Obama. I am not weeping for joy as I did after his election but I’m still happy. Please, the rest of you continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
And to think that Chip is son of T.R. Reid, the writer of the one of the best books on health care system.
[re=430979]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: as a child of the 80s let just say LOL. Bravo.
[re=430926]chascates[/re]: Reagan always had a problem with early pull-out. Just ask Nancy.
[re=430873]Terry[/re]: Xanax
[re=430979]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Oh thank you.
I’m a let you finish, but Reagan was the greatest Peacemaker OF ALL TIME.
Yes, Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War.
Lot of fucking good THAT did us.
And tonight, as every night, little Chip will reverently pull on his “Ronnie” jammies, kneel at the edge of his bed, bow his little head and pray to the Great-Haired God of All Things Right and then jump into bed and get boned for twelve hours straight by Andrew Sullivan (while thinking of Reagan)
I’m not supposed to disclose this because the Committee’s deliberations are secret but we were going to give it to Eduardo Paes but then Rio got the olympics and we thought that would be just too weird if we gave Eduardo the award (like it would be piling on after Chicago got the shaft) so we thought hey who’s pretty down right now and it all immediately made sense – Obama – he could use a pick me up so think of it as a consolation prize.
TGY: no ask Jane Wyman…wait she dead right? nevermind….
Hey I’m not George W. Bush either. Where’s my prize?
I didn’t realize Chip Reid was retarded AND had turrett’s syndrome. Idiot.
Robert Gibbs is obviously virulently Anti- (US) American. Instant-Analysis is the very foundation of our society. The revolution will be televised, and instant-analyzed, and fucking live-blogged.
Reagan’s Nobel Prize is up Augusto Pinochet’s dead ass.
Reagan didn’t win the Cold War, Gorbachev did.
This clown is asking why Reagan did not win a peace prize for illegally funding a group that raped and killed American nuns, traded weapons with known terror groups for hostages, and other such peaceful initiatives?
You can’t get a Peace Prize for invading Grenada and Panama…
Wouldn’t it have been great if Obama turned it down to protest the fact that Reagan never won the award. Maybe, it’s not too late for him to do that. Is Sacheen Littlefeather available?
I love Gibbs, that has got to be the most win you can show Reid for being such an asshole. I just love his exasperated sigh which connotes a sign of unbelievable incredulity are Chip’s stupid ass question: ” Really, really, this is the question you are asking? The Nobel Peace Prize Committee isn’t under the aegis of Obama or America’s influence for that matter. If you want to know why Reagan didn’t win go take it up with Norway. What does this clip show more, the douchiness of Reid or is rank ignorance?
Obama deserves a Nobel Prize for making ANY move toward normal diplomatic relations with Iran, instead of going with the former administration’s policy of just blowing shit up until we get bored and/or run of of places to bomb.
[re=430856]comicbookguy[/re]: Worst. Math lesson. Ever.
OMG. Chip Reid never fails to douche up a situation by regurgitating ridiculous Republican talking points to somehow provide “balance” to a news story. Yes Chip, I’m sure Gibbs AND Obama knows why the Nobel Prize Committee failed to recognize Reagan’s efforts and they are just hiding the “liberal bias” of the committee because they are liberals. Holy Moly, I couldn’t be Gibbs. I wouldn’t be able to resist the daily urge to tell “Chip” to go kick rocks.
[re=431100]Carlos[/re]: Win.
I too am wondering why Reagan never got a Peace prize. Reagan strengthened the defenses of Americ and her allies in a period when the Russians had become quite aggressive. I lived through that time and believe me the old SOvit Union was SCARY. Reagan believed-and so do I -tgat true peace is accomplishe only by strength.His policies quite likely help prevent a war between EAst and West. As a result of his resolve the Russians were bankrupted trying to out do us and the poeple of Russia began to demand change so much that the Old SOviets had to liberalize. This led to the demise of THe SOviet Union abd THe Iron Curtain. Does Reagan deserve a Nobel prize? Darn straight he does.

[re=431752]A freedom lover[/re]: Hey, asshat – fix your sticky Shift key and we’ll think about considering possibly maybe taking you seriously to some extent.
Freedom lover, I believe the mujihadeen in Afghanistan had something to do with the decade-long, soul-crunching bankrupting and fall of the Soviet Union. And, looking beyond your Kentucky fifth-grade history textbook logic, are you suggesting that liberalizing is a good thing, then? Liberal!
I’m back. Yeah my shift key does get goofy. Kentucky fifth grade education? I thought libs were tolerant, openminded, and senstive. Seems kipperthegod an teebob2000 need to go back through sensetivity training. Well thats what I get for posting without proofreading.
Any way back to the Gipper. R.R. was a great President who returned dignity and prestige to the Presidency. He was firm yet fair with the Russians, and as a result was feared and respected by them and our other enemies. Wish I could say That about O.
Stop by the blog.

Hello teebob2000
This is what I love about liberals such as yourself. It is very difficult to have a reasoned adult conversation ruled by civil discourse. The pattern is almost always the same personal attack coupled with an effort to demonize and marginalize the other party.
If that doesn’t work then resort to profanity. My Grandma always said people used profanity when they were too ignorant to use a different word, or had no point to defend, leading them to cuss at their own frustration.
teebob it’s been fun. Well I’m heading off to freeperland now to enjoy poking fun at fellows like you or fellowettes whichever may be the case. Lots of fun though:)
[re=431845]A freedom lover[/re]: We don’t have any problems with your politics of selfishness, self-centredness and narcissism freedom hater, the ‘I’m alright Jack stuff you’ attitude of the mean-spirited. Its not a particularly noble belief, one might even call it odious but its definitely valid. Our question is why are all your heroes so stupid? Bush? Cheney? Palin? Limbaugh? Hannity? and all the other rock spiders dwelling on the dark side of the human psyche. They don’t have enough neurones between them to challenge your average xerophilic mould.
What happened to your once great party of Lincoln, Greeley and the Pathfinder? What happened that it is now reduced to a rabble of incoherence? Is smart right-winger an oxymoron these days? Its certainly makes you unelectable in the fetid swamp of right-wing politics where the motto is “Brains are bad”. Good luck with your blocks in freeperville. Look forward to catching up in 2010.
