I think I should just congratulate Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who, it was just announced, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. She has campaigned for years against the dictatorship in Venezuela, and it’s good to see that she is recognised for her struggles. I’d far rather see the Nobel Prize being awarded to someone like her, who genuinely deserves it, than to a self-important, egotistical fool who seems to think he should be awarded it just for being who he is. Mind you, I suspect this decision will spawn a few tantrums in the White House.
