It's weird that the Nobel Prize for science is pretty meaningful within the scientific community, and the Nobel Prize for literature at least generally goes to a major author of some sort, while the Nobel Peace Prize is slightly less meaningful than Miss America.

Here this guy was the Clinton Administration's salesperson for NAFTA and he's still being touted as Mr. Environmentalist. But then Henry Kissinger won one for losing the Viet Nam War, so it's hard to take this award as anything that should be taken seriously.
