Andrew E. Kramer in the NYT:

"Mr. Putin likes to throw in a few surprises on these occasions, as he did two years ago by announcing the release of the imprisoned oil tycoon, Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky.

I'm not a friend of Mr. Putin but the Nobel Peace Prize was definitely awarded to people who didn't deserve the prize at all. So why not give the prize to Mr. Blatter? Did he actually kill people?
Peace and absurdity go hand in hand. I would say: Sepp Blatter for the Nobel Peace Prize.
