Some on Nobel Peace Committee Reluctant on Obama

From Reuters.

"Obama was awarded the prestigious prize on October 9 for efforts to "strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people."

So they award EFFORTS, huh? I'd like to nominate Jesse Jackson for all his hostage negotiations. How come Bill Richardson never received one for HIS work?

"VG said one of the newly elected members, Aagot Valle from the Socialist Left Party, had strong objections to giving the prize to Obama."

This surprises me. You'd think Socialist Lefties stuck together.

"The decision was unanimous," Jagland said when announcing the prize. Jagland, from the ruling Labour Party, was recently elected Secretary-General to the Council of Europe."
...
"Jagland is known in Norway for liking dramatic gestures but is prone to gaffes."

He's probably gay. You want dramatic gestures? Go see Bernie Koeppel (the Love Boat doctor) or George Takay (Mr. Sulu of Star Trek). Liberace was King of Dramatic Anything.
