Tsvangirai who has been beaten, imprisoned and threatened with death more times than Saint Barry of Mombasa has given political campaign speeches was not considered a worthy winner. In the face of years of extreme provocation from ZanuPF thugs, Tsvangirai has continued to campaign peacefully for democracy in Zimbabwe. He won the Presidential election but vote rigging worthy of the Glenrothes by-election saw Tsvangirai robbed of his chance to lead the Zimbabwean people, bring democracy back to Zimababwe and put food back in the mouths of Zimbabwean children.
Instead the Nobel Peace Prize Committee were blinkered by razzamatazz and chose to award the prize to a person who had made some speeches, raised lots of money for his election campaign, and won. Barack Obama had been in office just long enough to reload his stapler, arrange his pens nicely on his desk and buy his children a dog. This was enough to sway the Committee and award Saint Barry of Mombasa the prize just in case he does something worthier than send another 40 000 troops to some third world shithole to deal with the fuzzy wuzzies.
