So, would you agree that if they had given the prize to Reagan in his first year it would have been a good thing? Of course not, based on what you said about Reagan above.

Giving a prize like this to someone who hasn’t done anything to deserve it is just embarrassing. As one liberal (Peter Beinart) said, you don’t give Oscars to people before they’ve put in a great performance. Nor is the Nobel literature prize given to people who haven’t yet written something great.

And how will you feel if the White House is bombed tomorrow and, after a miraculous escape, Obama becomes a warmonger?

You don’t have to be a conservative to find this embarrassing.
