Yea, I'd have to consider this extremely premature but what the hell, they awarded the peace prize to Yasser Arraffat too.

I dont' argue the Elitist part....it's the "Ivory Tower" part that makes me want to spew! LOL Hell he can't even spell!
This....I think precisely this. "Give him the award now and see what he does later..." is my guess.
The "he's not George Bush" folks are probably somewhat right too.

Elitism is the belief or attitude that those individuals who are considered members of the elite—a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes—are those whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight or those who view their own views as so; whose views and/or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern.[1] Alternatively, the term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of the elite. Those opposed to elitism are considered supporters of anti-elitism, populism or the political theory of pluralism. Elite theory is the sociological or political science analysis of elite influence in society - elite theorists regard pluralism as a utopian ideal.
Elitism may also refer to situations in which an elite individual assumes special privileges and responsibilities in the hope that this arrangement will benefit humanity or themselves. At times, elitism is closely related to social class and what sociologists call social stratification. Members of the upper classes are sometimes, though inaccurately, known as the social elite. The term elitism is also sometimes used to denote situations in which a group of people claiming to possess high abilities or simply an in-group or cadre grant themselves extra privileges at the expense of others. This form of elitism may be described as discrimination. Such elitism has social psychological consequences [2]

The funny thing is, the deadline for nomination was less than 2 weeks after his inauguration. This pretty much seals the deal that the Nobel Prize is now a political award.
