    Hitler got Time person of the year, which is supposedly based on impact, not really a value judgement on the person’s character.

    But yeah they gave a prize to Kissinger and Arafat, that alone should be completely disqualifying.

      Thanks for the correction I knew that was wrong after I posted it, the guy that pioneered lobotomy for the people did get one though.

      There are a lot of bad examples, and I’ve yet to hear the committee recognize a mistake and apologize and explain how they will do better. Which is disqualifying.

      The Nobel Committee has 0 credibility. I shit on every one of their nominees.
