Bush, Nobel Laureate?

The Nobel Prize committee today announced that President George W. Bush has been under consideration for an unprecedented six Nobel prizes this year:

Economics, for cutting taxes on the rich and helping more people into poverty;
Physics, for his astute observation that no one could have foreseen the breach of the levees in New Orleans;
Medicine, for his plan to send the Army into the streets of America to fight the Avian Flu;
Chemistry, for the obvious chemistry that exists between him and his nominee for the Supreme Court;
Peace, for sending Karen Hughes to tell the women of Turkey that waging war promotes peace; and
Fiction (to be shared with Colin Powell,) for his 2003 State of the Union Address.

Stay tuned for more developments as they become available.
