My ass! This should never happen?

NO WAY!

1. There has been a lot of nuts nominated for the Nobel that never went anywhere at all.

2. He was nominated by Alan Dershowitz, of all people.

[sheshe2]

3. Did he have his underwear on?

[Ocelot II]

5. I don't think Dershowitz qualifies as a nominator. See #4.

[Tanuki]

7. University professors qualify as nominators.

[Ocelot II]

8. I think he's been retired from Harvard for a few years,

don't know if they count him as an emeritus professor. If I were running Harvard I wouldn't.

[Bristlecone]

11. Just ridiculous.

[Ocelot II]

I'd guess that a GOP member of Congress made the nomination in order to suck up to TFG.

6. Nominations can come from ANYWHERE!!!!!

That's all they are - nominations. Your 'Monday night poker group' could 'nominate' you if they felt you'd cheated on that last deal!

And can you imagine how much of this - - you see from the committee as they read through all of the nominations?

Trump would stroke out!

12. We'll see how the pissant fares.
