Somebody explain this to me: The president of the United States wins the Nobel Peace Prize and Rush Limbaugh joins with the Taliban in bitterly denouncing the award? Glenn Beck has a conniption fit and demands that the president not accept what may be the world's most prestigious honor? The Republican National Committee issues a statement sarcastically mocking our nation's leader -- elected, you will recall, by a healthy majority -- as unworthy of such recognition. Why, oh why, do conservatives hate America so?
The Nobel Peace Prize is universally recognized as a stamp of the world's approval. Let the rejectionists fulminate and sputter until they wear their vocal cords out. Politically, they're only bashing themselves. "I'm With the Taliban Against America" is not likely to be a winning slogan.
