WTF Is It Now?!?

BUNNYPANTS BITCHPADDLED, KUDOS TO CARTER
OSLO (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today by a committee whose head called the decision a deliberate slap in the face for the current U.S. government over its policy on Iraq.

The five-member prize committee praised Carter, 78, for "decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development," for an "outstanding commitment" to human rights and for everything from his battle against tropical diseases to his help for developing nations.

The chairman of the committee, Gunnar Berge, used the prize to make a scathing attack on 'president' Bush's campaign to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

"With the position Carter has taken...(the award) can and must also be seen as criticism of the line the current U.S. administration has taken on Iraq," Berge said.

Asked if it was a "kick in the leg" at Washington, Berge said: "Yes, the answer is an unconditional 'yes."' A "kick in the leg" is a Norwegian phrase meaning "a slap in the face," or a big "up yours, douchebag!"

Congratulations to Pres. Jimmy Carter!
