- mseebach 17y agoOr the democrats did it, so Obama can hold a long rejection-speech, highlighing all the people more worthy of it than him for an instant PR success.
- lionhearted 17y agoNobel prize recipients are called beforehand and asked if they'll accept before being announced publicly. Actually, most major awards are these days, as it removes the, "Thanks but no thanks, your cause is bankrupt" responses which tend to be embarrassing.
- mseebach 17y agoYeah, that makes sense. Amazing then that nobody told him about how accepting that prize might constitute a pretty big case of hubris.
