DNC humor czar condemns Nobel Prize jokes

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 9, 2009 01:16 PM

The Twitter hashtag of the day is #nobelol (started by Andy Levy) — for Twitter users from the left, right, and center laughing out loud at Barack Obama’s receipt of a Nobel Peace Prize he himself says he doesn’t deserve.

There’s already a bumper sticker via College Politico:

The worldwide derision has a Democratic National Committee flack comparing jokesters to…terrorists:

“The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists – the Taliban and Hamas this morning – in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize,” DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse told POLITICO. “Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize – an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride – unless of course you are the Republican Party.

Er.

Ed Morrissey notes the many decidedly un-Republican public figures joining the snort-fest.

DNC, meet Emily Litella:

Best Rush Limbaugh quip: “I don’t believe this! He’s not only the first post-racial president, he’s also the first post-accomplishment.”

    I’m sure SNL was going to take a week off from poking fun at the wun. But how can they now? Actually, how dare they now?

    SNL MUST do at least 2 sketches on this.

    Now, I wouldn’t accept a Nobel Peace Prize, if I won one EVER!
    Chili champion would be great until he wins his, then I’d send it back.
    And all the living winners should send theirs in… They have done you a great dis-service.

    I hear Lord Obama has already won the Lombardy Trophy, but they’re keeping it quiet until Superbowl halftime. So that as many players as possible can sustain career ending injuries while he’s trying to figure out a way for every team to have a losing record.

    Hmmm. I clearly remember numeroust instances when the DNC and Al Queda, Hamas, Chavez, Castro, etc., were all allied in opinion against Bush.

    Were they throwing in their lot with terrorists, dictators and Commies?

    The musical answer is: YES!

    People don’t know why Obama ‘won’ the Nobel Peace prize ??? Please, allow me. First, he’s tall. He is a snappy dresser. He has great teeth, too. When he is reading the teleprompter, he does so in a halting, faltering cadence that makes him seem thoughtful. What does it matter that he is actually trying to figure out the word on the screen? He is not above belittling his own nation. That’s important. If the world infers that he is actually a weak man trying to ingratiate himself with the tyrants of the world, well so what? His past associations with the likes of Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Phleger, and his choice of czars including communists, homosexuals who approve of pedophilia, and America haters of all stripes illustrate the tolerance and scope of this great man. Did I mention he’s tall ??

    Has anyone heard about who has been nominated for “Artist of the Year” for the American Music Awards? NO, Barack Obama hasn’t (not that I am aware of, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone if he was, and if he’d accept it or not if it was bestowed upon him), but unless you could ever win an award like this for simply DYING, then it could be given to literally ANYBODY.

    If you haven’t guessed it, some brainless twit (or twits) nominated Michael (Freaking) Jackson for “Artist of the Year.” This feels like deja vu all over again. So, I’ll ask the obvious question…WHAT DID MJ DO (in 2009)TO DESERVE THIS AWARD (apart from his passing from this mortal coil–essentially becoming a LATE artist)?

    The world is collapsing beneath the weight of its immense insanity and imbecility. Atlas is shrugging, but sooner or later he’s going to simply drop us like a bad habit.
