Bill Bennett: why didn't they give Reagan a Nobel Peace Prize?

that's his pathetic spin on the hard news (from his point of view), this morning on his radio program.

He's playing clips of Reagan to make his case.

I'm finding it enjoyable, in a perverse way. :-)

edit: I just emailed him and suggested he start his own Peace Prize. He could hold the ceremony at Caesar's Palace. Don Rickles could emcee. I'll post his answer as soon as I get it, I'm expecting it shortly. :-)

and kind people appear as meanspirited.

Ghod Mr. Bennet has gambled too much and has lost his grip on reality.


We have a monument to Reagan and it appears near the white house and garbage men empty it every day. ( The White House dumpster. )

affect on that decision???

I don't know whether it would be for providing military aid to both sides in the Iran-Iraq war, the bloodiest war of the 1980's, or for supporting the death squads in Central America. :shrug:

role to arm both sides until they annihilate each other entirely. Then claim that thereby you fostered peace and stability in the world.

Such a peacemaker. Grenada and Libya.

And on the seventh day he rested.

BOTH SIDES during the Iran/Iraq war?

The death squads in Central America?

The endless litany of tinpot dictators he supported?

My bet is you're still full of craps Bill (badumbum tsss)

what a pathetic sucker

Ahole just like Bill Bennett. :puke:

It's an award they don't want, they don't like, and deride endlessly.

But they poop their drawers when they don't get one.

:rofl:

Reagan did not get a Nobel Prize because he was a dumb hack actor set up to be president. Reagan said the lines and made the moves. He didn't have the intelligence to win a Nobel Prize.

It is the same with little george bush. He is just a drunk front man for the republicans who run the show from the back room. People who are the brains behind republican policy do not show their faces in public.

Americans like Bennett will degrade and demean just about anything in pursuit of their irrational ideology.

Or increasing the unemployed? He was easily the 2nd worst president in my lifetime. I didn't think he could be surpassed, but along came W.

Could his lack of a Nobel Prize have anything to do with the legacy of terrorist atrocities in Latin America?

Or perhaps one of the other wars of aggression launched by Rayguy?

Or perhaps his Iran/ Contra "problem"?

Jesus.

Regan!?! Give me a break!

In fact they did just the opposite, they dealt in war. Duh!

This ongoing attempt to deify Reagan is getting old. Reagan doesn't deserve it, and I'm tired of neocons trying to shove it down my throat.

Oh, and did I mention what a contemptible piece of shit you are?

Especially since his Iran/Contra affair, his building up and erecting a nuclear arsenal in Europe aimed at he U.S.S.R, and his refusal to help fight the rising AIDS epidemic were all lock cinch qualifiers.

On a personal note, being how I was a long time union steelworker at the time, I would have voted for Reagan for all the peace he brought into my life by allowing the importation of all the cheap foreign steel that caused the closing down of the Delaware plant I worked in for 20 years, along with most of the mills in Pittsburgh.

Go Fuck Yourself, Bill!

If I remember correctly the speed limits went back up under Reagan. Use more fuel: create more greenhouse gases. Al Gore won his Nobel Peace Prize trying to fix the problem that Reagan helped create.

Completely unnecessary, except as a political gesture.

from the American Enterprise Institute.

I'm not a betting man ;-), but my guess is the AEI guy doesn't think Gore should have won.

You'd think they'd look down at their "Made In China" flag lapel pins and get all teary eyed thinking an American had won.

there's no reason for them to see Gore as an enemy. Gore after all conceded the 2000 race in the nation's interest.

You'd think they could muster up a similar patriotic spirit. Actually you wouldn't think that.

Maybe an "anti- peace prize"

Hey Bill, I think I hear the slots callin' you.

Edit to add:

Not to mention ramping up the war on drugs and quadrupling the penalties as well as the incarceration rate in his own country.

I ate so much Reagan Cheeze do to a total lack of work, when that bastid was in the white house, that I had to wear a screen over my ass to keep the rats out. Do they even give Nobel Prizes for union busting and exporting entire industries like the American steel industry? Do they give Nobel Prizes for closing down all the insane asylums and turning the inmates out in the streets to live under bridges? Do they give Nobel Prizes for fucking up Social Security, something that you forcibly paid into all your working life, to the point that you need to hire a lawyer to fill out your papers for you and then you still get cheated out of it, as you lay gasping for your last breath?

I'll vote for a Reagan "Totally And Grossly Overrated Dick-Head Award" and nothing more.

:shrug:

great minds and all that...

Lousy blond blue eyed nordic peace lovin lutefisk eaters.

and who cares if Gore won.

Hahahahahaha! Caught like the rats they are!

...... you lose any right to be considered for a Nobel.

When you invade an island nation to polish off the tarnish on your personal image, you lose any right to be considered for a Nobel.

When you bankrupt your country by profligate spending to enrich a few, you lose any right to be considered for a Nobel.

I could go on.

I won't.

Death Squads?

Trickle-Down Economy?


... The Nobel Peace Prize???? I don't think so.

Good luck with that one, Bill.

TC

Hell he invented Crack cocaine and made sure it was distributed throughout the inner cities of America. Used the money to fund even more killing in Central America. Award....My fucking God...these people are completely out of their ever loving gourd..

How're those sour grapes, Repukes? LOL

:rofl:

Has Bill Bennet forgotten the Iran Contra deal??

more to do with it's fall than Reagan?

:shrug:

Play again soon, wontcha?

your hotel room with a transsexual dominatrix looking over your shoulder Bill.

:rofl:

You're irrelevant. Go make the dealers happy...

He was simply a beneficiary of circumstance in that he was president during the time the Soviet Union was inevitably falling apart.

Now go back to putting $200 on 26 red, Bill.

Talk to the Ducey!

And the Grenada invasion saved us all from Caribo-fascism, right?

Next question?

I have to watch the repugs gnash their teeth and wring their claws! Bravo Al Gore!:applause:


kick & recommend

The bribe money you were supposed to give the judges you instead blew on the slots at Vegas.

Rather than trying to diminish it ala Arafat .

Real Nobel material there.
