Landmark Legal Foundation has nominated Rush Limbaugh for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Limbaugh, whose daily radio show is heard by more than 20 million people on more than 600 radio stations in the United States and around the world, was nominated for the prestigious award for his "nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin. These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout the world," said Landmark President Mark R. Levin.
"Rush Limbaugh is the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today," explained Levin. "Everyday he gives voice to the values of democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equal application of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the Nobel Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peaceful world for future generations."
This follows on the heels of Al Gore being nominated for his "documentary" An Inconvenient "Truth." (All quotation marks are mine).
But those two notables aren't the only guys nominated. According to Dana, Patterico is also trying to get nominated. Not because he would consider it to be a great honor, but just to show how meaningless the nomination is, particularly after nominees like Stanley "Tookie" Williams and prior Peace Prize winner Yasser Arafat.
Surely Rush is at least as deserving to win as those guys.
