Limbaugh = Nobel Prize!

World renowned radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was nominated today for a Nobel Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize, which is given by a committee of the Norwegian Storting (the Norwegian Parliament), was created by inventor Alfred Nobelin his will in 1896 to be given to the individual or organization who"shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations,for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding ofpeace congresses." The first Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 1901 to HenryDunant and Frederic Passy.

The Landmark Legal Foundation nominated Limbaugh for being "....the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today," explained Levin. "Everyday he gives voice to the valuesof democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equalapplication of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the Nobel Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peacefulworld for future generations."

Way to go Uncle Rush!!
