But don’t worry: these are the same leftists who have taken over institutional control of just about everything they feel can lend authority to their political agenda. So the real purpose of the investigation, I’d guess, is to suggest integrity where none exists, and to lead, by the ultimate inaction of the committee, to exoneration of their choices — and in an oddly circuitous way, validation for the winners.
Meaning Obama will retain his pre-emptive Peace Prize. And we classical liberals will be able to hold on to our disdain for what the prize has come to represent.
Which is important. For clarity.

I assumed that the motivation was because the Stockholm County Board wanted Fred Heffermehl to stop bothering them, so they announced this to shut him up for a while. But then, maybe I’ve been attending too many County Board meetings lately.
Well, if there is a bright side to all this, it is that we can still keep razzing the lefties on the hollowness that is the modern Nobel committee; as demonstrated by their awarding Obama a peace prize just before he doubled down on many of the same acts and policies that made BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! an evolllll kill-bot war-mongerer…
I mean, it’s a picture perfect illustration of progressive hypocrisy; an icon if you will…
“We have no basis to suggest that they haven’t managed it properly. But we want to investigate it,” Wiman said.
Really? No basis at all? And here I thought “the seriousness of the charge” was ludicrous to use as a basis for an investigation, but now apparently no basis at all is needed. Or is questioning the awards to Al Gore and Barack Obama openly beyond the pale?
I have to be the only person in the right-of-center world ecstatic about Obama’s getting the peace prize within months of being elected as it showed the political and directional partisan rot at the center of the committee’s selection “process.”
I love it when an opponent self-identifies.
Wow. Baracky just froze all Iranian assets in the US. Of course, you realize this means peace!
Is this like where Saudi Arabia and Libya are on the UN Human Rights Commission?
