This article sums it up rather well.

Slightly more on-topic is this, which I missed from earlier this week:

Sorry, folks, I could not find anything Ann Counter has said about the prize -- surely her psychotic rantings would have delighted and entertained you all -- but to make up for it, here's Charles Krauthammer.

At least on her website, she's banging a different drum:

Krauthammer's piece was actually quite good. Surprising, I know- don't fret, my bleeding heart hasn't clotted just yet. :D

I thought it was predictable shite, meself.

Not persuaded by the case against Mary Robinson either, to be honest, but there ya go. Don't really see the point of the award in the first place.

Is that all? :blink:

I'd have expected a lot more disapproval, to be honest.

You have to wonder what Obama's thinking. If a Viking king named Harald asks you over for lunch, YOU SAY YES! :auss:

King Harald probally wasn't going to serve a loaf of bread and two fishes, or a pitcher of water that Obama could turn into wine.

I'm personally slightly upset that he, and thus everyone else, didn't wear the traditional white tie - the Nobel Prize was one of the few events nowadays of that level of formality. Not even black tie....a regular suit

It's almost as if there is a concerted effort by this administration to breach protocol whenever they come in contact with foreigners.

It was so low-key it was comical. Looked like he was being presented a certificate of attendance or something.

I had expected John Bolton to throw rocks at the president...

Yes! :lol:

Also, I can understand how the president is a busy man and can't spend the rest of the week partying up with various Norwegians, but I still thought it would have been nice for him to lunch with the king. If only to perfect his bow. :P
