Bolton nominated for Peace Prize. Sudden blood pressure spike reported among nation's ironically-minded.
My backup Irony Capacitor just exploded in the workshop, and since my place is currently in flames, I'll make this quick: John Bolton, the walrus-moustached, stapler-throwing, threat-writing, UN-hating recess appointment who couldn't even get a vote of confidence from his own party has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Smoke... getting thick... Must stop... drop... and roll....
John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is one of two Americans who have been nominated for the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.
Last year, Democrats and a few Republicans refused to confirm Bolton to the U.N. post, forcing President Bush to resort to a recess appointment.
Bolton and Kenneth R. Timmerman were formally nominated by Sweden's former deputy prime minister Per Ahlmark, for playing a major role in exposing Iran's secret plans to develop nuclear weapons.
You might remember that Bush and Blair were nominated for the same honor in 2004 for going to war with Iraq. That was a Norwegian. This time the nomination comes from a Swede. Next up: Finnish politician awards Ma Barker posthumous "World's Greatest Grandma" statue.
