And Yet Another Award For The “Words” Man!

I am still on the road, but I have a short piece to illustrate that a LOT of people are a bit surprised that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee is now handing out the Prize for just saying what one wants to do instead of actually DOING something. Except, thankfully, or at least, right this minute, the following piece from Andy Borowitz, an Obama supporter, I might add, is humor. Or would be, if it wasn’t so plausible these days.

Huh – come to think of it, Obama getting the Peace Prize for reading a teleprompter WOULD be humorous, not Prize-worthy, except there were people actually DOING work for peace in the world(including the esteemed Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton). Ahem. But enough from me, here is the post:

Obama Named Country Music Entertainer Of The Year: Surprise Selection Shocks Nashville

NASHVILLE (The Borowitz Report) – President Barack Obama stunned the country music world today by picking up its highest honor, Country Music Entertainer of the Year.

Mr. Obama was chosen unanimously, according to the Country Music Association, beating out such favorite as Carrie Underwood and Toby Keith.

In Nashville, country music insiders were shocked by Mr. Obama’s selection, given that he has only been in office for eight months and during that time has yet to record a single country song.

But Mr. Obama was gracious in receiving the honor, saying that he was “honored and humbled” by the award before excusing himself to accept this year’s Heisman Trophy.

Oh, I just wonder what award today will bring for the Talker in Chief!

      That’s the best fun I’ve had all week.

    • barry bums a ciggie

      My vote went to Barack Obama, teleprompter reader. Thanks for the link!

    • Deidre

      Hilarious! I just voted and sent it on to a ‘few’ of my closest friends :)

  • Portia Elizabeth

    There are rumors from the AKC that he’s a shoe-in at Westminster in February.

    • Peggy Sue

      Oh, now that’s funny, Portia E.! I wonder if poor Bo will go into a snit?

      • Portia Elizabeth

        He might lose points for that, but he’ll definitely win in the non-working group.

          ROTFLMAO…Y’all are too funny! :-D “Non-working group” – good one!

      Obama is a mutt, so what breed will he be?

      • ~~JustMe~~

        Heinz 57 variety = mixed breed

  • annie

    What is going on with these people? I cannot understand what they see in him. He is such a phony he only says what people want to hear, but people HE HAS DONE NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

  • Docelder

    How about having him on who wants to be a millionaire. No use asking him the questions though… everybody knows he knows the answers already. Heck, he probably also knows the questions. No funny business though, just plain old omnipotence. Anyway. just pay the man the million and be glad the show isn’t titled who wants to be a double millionaire.

    • jwrjr

      If he misses any questions it will be due to Racism.

  • TexasMirth

    This award has become an international joke and we should all keep laughing because politicians fear ridicule far more than criticism. Fidel Castro shut down humor magazines after taking power, and he had signs posted that read: “Counter-revolutionary jokes forbidden here.” He understood what other tyrants knew – being laughed at is dangerous because as Orwell said: “Every joke is a tiny revolution.”

    • Lana

      Love it, TexasMirth. We got a tiny revolution going on here!

    NEW AWARDS!

    Emmy. Talk show. Best teleprompter monologue reader.

    Oscar. Good looking. Could be a convincible actor some day. Give him the award now so he will wink at us when we cover him on the red carpet.

    Queer Hater Award. Read his lips. Put a hood on his head and forget the black half of this half-breed. He is ready to whoop up on some girly boys.

    Military Complex Complexity and Indecision in the Face of Conflict Award. Given by the rest of the world.

    Advertising Award. David Axelrot. “How I made a Silk Purse out of a Cow’s Ear.” Complete with pre-defined media talking points on how good I am.

    And.. how about a guide. How to spend the Soros money you got for voting (and laughing at the world as you go to the bank) for the biggest joke you ever pulled on the world. Alfred Nobel would be proud.

    Anybody got any other awards to give him?

    You know. Like Best White Actor in an African American Comedy Series. Or Why Skinny Half White Guys Can’t Jump Start the Economy.

  • Eastan McNeal

    If he grew as big as he talked (or as big as his 28 year old writer (in pajamas) said for him across the teleprompter Obombadammed could be the new World Wrestling Champ, because, if he could, he would.

    Yes He Could!

    Say it. Yes He Could!

  • Eastan McNeal

    He has to have the Toon Awards. Mighty Might. He might. He may. Yes he has a marginal chance to save the day. He IS the cartoon hero of 2009. Give him the award Jethro. I don’t want to. What do you mean, you don’t want to. What do you want to do? I donno. What you want to do?

  • jwrjr

    Has he won “Best Swimsuit Model” from Sports Illustrated … yet?

    • Eastan McNeal

      He is waiting for PlayGirl, and he will let his wife sub for his body.

  • candymarl

    Rolling Stone Musician of the the Year. So what if he doesn’t sing or play an instrument? He talked about it.

    • ~~JustMe~~

      Language award

      Remember he wanted us all to speak more than one language said we were lazy! I expect he has several up his sleeve by now and can perfect a speech for us soon.

  • sowsear

    The Nobel prizes have lost all their luster with me. The prize in Economics went, not to our esteemed leader/financial genius, but to some dumbo American professors in Economics.

  • Eastan McNeal

    Don’t start that again.

    We could give him an award for Being There. Naw. Jarry Lohsnson gave it to him last night. Yea. He did GIVE IT TO HIM. But the Ombama Boy thinks it was a compliment. Oh, Mobly, you missed it. The Orange long-armed alarmists with the big mouths want to be like him. They want to walk like him, be like him. They are the funeral bearers in Being There. They drank the kool-aide. But the guy is a kook. I know. I think we should give him the GoverNuts award.

    What is that. I don’t know. It just sounds good. Is he really a president? Naw. He is just a precedent. Don’t mean nothing in the long run.

    What you wanna do?

  • sowsear

    As a talker, he’s gonna have his work cut out for him, if he thinks he can convince people, especially women, that Sharia Law is misunderstood and wouldn’t be a bad thing. I wonder if he ran that by the missus. Where’s my burka?

  • Eastan McNeal

    OH. He just announced he is making himself the Special Olympics Czar. If they can’t do it he can. If he could he would. Yes he would!

    He could shot-put a promise almost beyond his toes and hide his background (it is printed on his A-Shirt: I think I went to school and, since I never finished high school I can make up what I want.. or Sucker!) behind the pole vault pole. Watch me run. I throw the pole up and run under the jump, catch the pole and you pretend I actually jumped over the thing and did it.

    As I ride around the field on my trike, pulled by those guys that fixed my leg and promised me a garden, I will accept the long bike ride thing they do in Europe because I got this yellow shirt some army veteran gave me.

    • jwrjr

      He is the Czar for the Special Olympics?

    There’s a buzz going around that MLB will name him MVP at the end of the World Series ’cause you know Barry likes baseball and it’s good for America!

    • http://rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com Rabble Rouser Revrend Amy

      That’s what I’m afraid of, Jackarooty! You know me and baseball! :-)

      • Jackarooty

        Ah yes Amy…it was a short and sad post season here in Boston. AS I told my NYC sister months ago…her boys will go all the way!

    • Sandy

      Not if I can help it,especially if my Phillies win it, as I hope they do. We waited 28 years between World Series wins, I hope they get 2 in a row and, if they do, I’ve got their back. Nobody is stealing their MVP award, least of all POTUS. They worked hard to get where they are, unlike POTUS,WHO GETS EVERYTHING HANDED TO HIM!

      • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

        LOL – sorry, Sandy – I hope I’m not losing you and Jackarooty as readers, but I bleed Yankee pinstripe blue! :-D

        And Jackarooty, I know it was a short postseason for y’all. It’s so weird, though, isn’t it, how you can have so many of the same players, things seem to be going along, and then – WHAM – done. That’s baseball, though, isn’t it?

        Sandy, I hope we see your Phillies in the Series!

        • Onofre’s arm

          Hey, I’m pulling for the Phillies, but I sniff an all L.A. World Series this year.

  • beebop

    Aw. Come on. Imagine how dissed he felt not to be on the list of new saints. Must explain why there was not public appearance yesterday …..

    • Portia Elizabeth

      I was shocked, SHOCKED, that Hawaii offered up Father Damien instead of BO. I’m sure the lepers would much rather have Saint Barry of the Obots.

  • tango

    Maybe he’ll win Miss America? Remember, it’s not a beauty contest but one that awards intelligence and service to others. And since the Miss America organization does want to be progressive and not discriminate, it’s time a man won the contest. Obama would be perfect. Remember, he’s what “feminism looks like” so just give him the award already. hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

  • Sassy

    WORLD FERTILIZER CHAMPION

    He has dumped manure across the entire globe now!

      ROTFLMAO

  • susan h

    Mr. Obama deserved to win the Presidency even less than he deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Those who voted him in are now screaming that he didn’t deserve the Peace Prize, it was too early, before he did anything, why him? what are his accomplishments? Yet these same people did not ask these questions before they made him the U.S. President and “leader of the world”. This prize just highlighted how ridiculous it is to give a prize (or the presidency) to someone who has not done anything and just talks talks talks, which is all Obama did during the campaign, but has yet to do anything. I guess Norway likes the idea of “Hope and Change” just as much as some Americans do. Too bad for all of us.

      Russian and Iranian hiney–lip smackin’ good.

        I’m sure Obama is fond of the more subtle taste of Eurasian glutes, butt right now he seems to favor the spicier Chavez, Castro, and Zalaya cornhole tacos.

  • jimmy

    Obama = GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER!!!

    (ps: whatever happened to the “Whitey” tape?)

  • Reverse Mortgage Loans

    Your post really impressed me a lot. Since the nobel prize for peace has been given to the Obama I can say that obama is really facing the big piece of criticism.
