If political rhetoric alone is enough to qualify a person for a Nobel Peace Prize, it is my opinion that Mr. Limbaugh is more than worthy of the honor. He too has put issues “on the agenda” and gotten politicians “to understand.” He has built America’s number one radio talk show that reaches more than 10 million listeners every week. He has done this by airing facts and points of view overlooked by America’s dominant liberal media.

He has also used his influence to counter what has become conventional wisdom regarding many environmental scares. And it is here, in his crusade to correct myths about DDT, that he has played a pivotal role in potentially saving the lives of millions of people in the poorest parts of the world.


If Mark Levin et al could nominate someone like Limbaugh for consideration of the Peace Prize, then it weakens if not invalidates the entire concept of the award. Something along the lines of the old saying that a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.

Read the article. Very interesting.

2. I don't think Levin, or the guy who wrote the quote, could nominate anyone for the prize

Basically, elected national politicians and cabinet members, professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion (at, I presume, reputable universities), previous winners, and people in a few specialist committees. It's possible Levin found some idiot Republican congressman to make the nomination, of course.
