Popular Post ginjag Posted January 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2014 And it's the Nobel prize for what ?? The friendliest PM in the world due to her 50 trips abroad in over 2 years. ridiculous. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jingthing Posted January 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2014 About as much sense in this as Obama being nominated before he was elected president. Two wrongs don't make a right. Yes they devalued their brand by giving the prize to Obama before he actually did anything, and it turns out he won't be earning it either. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to apologize to all those to whom I stated that I didn't think Thais had a sense of humor. This has to be the funniest thing I have heard in years. Either that, or they hired some top comedy writer from the west. Either way, thanks for the laugh . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thaddeus Posted January 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2014 FactsThe nomination processes start in September each year. No person can nominate herself/himself for a Nobel Prize. The Nobel Committees are responsible for the selection of the candidates. The names of the nominees cannot be revealed until 50 years later.

h90 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Is this a satire piece? Why? Obama for not doing anything at the time he got it. Al Gore for the Climate fraud United Nations for being a complete useless organization Yassier Arafat and Shimon Peres Aung San Suu Ki for supporting an Embargo that includes Medicine for poor sick people Gorbachov for making millions poor. Kissinger for being a war criminal She would fit in perfectly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Must be kidding......there's no mention of what Nobel prize......anyway...she'd probably sell it anyone was silly enough to have it awarded to her.......... Anyway...she may be indicted for voting for the senate and amnesty bills...which would make a criminal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
