Dan Drezner could barely stop laughing long enough to blog when he heard about this Obama-Nobel Prize thing - it had so "cheapen[ed] an already devalued prize."
See, in the good old days, back when the prize meant something, the Committee would only give it to someone who'd actually accomplished something. Like Henry Kissinger.
Anyway, I quite agree with Drezner: it is utterly ridiculous to think that in a mere nine months has (as the Committee put it) "created a new climate in international politics." Right?
