And Farage evidently has no grasp of the phrase, or is being disingenuous: "It only takes one rotten apple to spoil the whole barrel".

Y'know, Donnie, even at 79, even at 300lb, even as President of the United States, it's a little funny that you're still the whiny, entitled little bitch that Fred and Mary made you.

Against my wiser judgment, I feel sorry for the poor schmuck who had to wake him up with the news this morning. The Nobel committee made their announcement at 5am DC time.

Love the fact that Washington is six hours behind Oslo, so WH staffers are currently drawing straws for who gets to wake him up and tell him.

Even better, they announced it 5am DC time. Who volunteered to wake him up and tell him?

Giving it to him also sets an outrageously dangerous precedent: initiate, encourage, aid and/or abet a conflict, manipulate a 'ceasefire', and you've got yourself a NPP. Step right up.
