The Award For 'Best Use Of An Acceptance Speech' Goes To ...
President Barack Obama, seizing his Nobel Peace Prize occasion to reiterate the need to attack Iran.
"I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st century.
Now, these challenges can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. And that's why my administration's worked to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek. We cannot tolerate a world in which nuclear weapons spread to more nations and in which the terror of a nuclear holocaust endangers more people."
Bonus 'War Profiteer' award in the 'Lets Not Upset the Apple Cart' category goes to this headline:
Some Analysts Warn Obama's Nobel Peace Prize Complicates War Efforts
