Last night, Fox News host Sean Hannity hosted a panel that debated the merits of President Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. After complaining about Obama’s goal of eliminating nuclear weapons and claiming that the Nobel is undesirable because Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat receieved it, Hannity suggested an alternative recipient for the award — former President George W. Bush:
HANNITY: [Yasser Arafat] got the Nobel peace prize. Excuse me, a terrorist got the Nobel peace prize. Some people deservedly so. You know who else deserved it? Ronald Reagan. And frankly, I would’ve given it to George Bush.
Watch it:
As many commentators have noted, the Nobel Prize appears to have been motivated in part by anti-Bush sentiment, which makes Hannity’s suggestion particularly absurd. After all, George W. Bush engaged in the torture of detainees, waged an unprovoked and illegal war, and brought about the largest protests in history against U.S. policies — hardly behavior that is fitting for a Nobel Peace Prize.
.M.C.L comment: Sean Hannity has took back the title of the dumbest man on Fox News from Glenn Beck with that statement. Honestly the idea Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush deserve a Nobel Prize would be really lowing the bar for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Reagan White House armed both sides in the Iran and Iraq war, funded death squads in South America and introduced drugs in the inter cities. George W. Bush like the article pointed out started a war just for the hell of it, torture detainees and spied on Americans.
