Default Nobel Peace Prize, who would you vote for?
It seems Rush Limbaugh and Al Gore have both been nominated for the nobel peace prize. Yes it's a wacky world. Who would you vote for?

Where's the "none of the above in any way deserve it!" option?

Neither. What has either of them done to promote peace? Al Gore only cares about his political career. Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer, one who many people unfortunately take seriously.

Where is "NONE OF THE ABOVE" I don't see what accomplishments Al Gore has done to promote peace and neither have I seen with Rush Limbaugh. You can't give it the KofI Annan, Jimmy Carter, John Bolton, GW Bush, or even Chirac. So maybe "NONE OF THE ABOVE@"

Ada Aharoni would get my vote. Someone with Egyptian roots living in Israel and actually trying to solve that immense problem. And she's into literature too

Ada Aharonis Home Page

Part of her biography :
Professor Ada Aharoni, writer, poet, playwright and lecturer, was born in Cairo, Egypt, and now lives in Haifa, Israel. She has published 25 books to date, that have won her international acclaim. She writes in Hebrew and English, and her works have been translated into several languages. Believing in the power of the word, she is confident that literature and culture can help to heal the urgent ailments of Israel and our global village, such as war, terror and conflict. The themes of love, reconciliation, coexistence and peace, as well as equality of women, are major ones throughout her various works. She has also extensively researched and written books on the Jews of Egypt in the 20th Century, and their forced exile from Egypt (1948-1967).

Ada Aharoni received her Bachelor Degree (B.A) in Literature and Sociology, at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (1965), her Master of Philosophy Degree (M.Phil.), at London University (1967), on the "Father of the Novel" Henry Fielding, and she was awarded her Doctorate Degree in Literature (Ph.D), on the Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature - Saul Bellow, at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (1975). She lectured in the Department of English Literature at Haifa University, and taught Sociology (Conflict Resolution), in the department of Humanities, at the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology), in Haifa.
Sorry, Sam, those two clowns in your poll don't even merit the nomination.

I think it's obvious to all why most people wouldn't vote for Rush.

Gore. I've seen his movie. I've seen much better without the ridiculous jokes and far better coverage of the evidence. Gore, like Moore, should realize that some documentaries are really not worthy of box office status. Crediting Gore with the Nobel in my opinion is like stepping on all those scientists who do the work.

I think the vitriolic James Randi has done more than either of these guys for the benefit of humanity. Unfortunately, most people won't listen.

I'd have to vote for James Brown.

Godfather of Soul's gotta get something!

Dangit. I flipped a coin and it came up Rush. I'm not going to submit it though.

Wait...recount...two out of three.

Rush again.

Well, either way. If it makes you feel any better, I find Gore intellectually dishonest and Rush...utterly pathetic.
