#1 "He's overplaying his hand. The outburst against eastern Europe and the red carpet for Mugabe could lead people to doubt the sincerity of his stance on Iraq. Faced with such apparent double standards, you could legitimately start questioning his real motives."

The western diplomat here nails it on the head. Surely anyone with half a brain can see that our amphibian friend has guilty secrets to hide. When we find "Produit de France" stamped on everything in Iraq from Saddam's reactors (well, we know that already) to his nail extractors, even lefties might see the light. Oh, and those unsigned post-dated oil rights..

#2 Well, you have to admit that he does measure up to the standards of the recent winners, which ain't saying much.

#3 "LibÃ©ration" is the daily of the PC bleeding -heart upper-middle class well-read liberals (US meaning), a bit like "The Guardian" or "Haaretz" to my knowledge, but french. Btw, the general media here have been very serious and praising about this nomination, another proof of their partiality (anyone with a sense of humor should be rolling on the ground laughing).

#6 Norway is the home of the Nobel Peace Prize and the home of Vidkum Quisling. It's sooooooo fitting.

#7 Chiraq the one man wrecking crew. Destroys the UN, NATO, EU, and now Nobel. Pretty soon there will be no institutions left.
Memo to Bob: Dining with Jacques may be hazardous to your health!
