State Department: Better a Nobel Prize Than a Shoe

I believe that Obama has not accomplished enough related to "peace" to justify giving him the Nobel Prize. Nonetheless, the State Department's response to critics of the award is funny.

Contrasting Obama's award and the shoe-throwing incident involving former President Bush, Assistant Secretary of State P. J. Crowley stated that:

Certainly from our standpoint, this gives us a sense of momentum — when the United States has accolades tossed its way, rather than shoes.

Yeah - funny.

PS: Although I find Crowley's statement funny, I do not condone shoe-throwing!
