 Bush nominated for Nobel Peace Prize, plus other Iraq award nominations13 Feb 2004
As we first reported in May last year, and then again in October, President Bush has been nominated for the Nobel Peace prize for "being the most powerful man in the world and someone people should suck up to". The reaffirmation of Mr Bush's nomination has provoked widespread amusement amongst satirists, some of whom, like E.F. Watley, have expressed fears that they might be put out of business.
However, the Nobel Peace prize committee aren't the only ones receiving nominations. DeadBrain rounds up the best of the rest.
