Outtake:

After being bombarded with spin, stonewalling and lies, it doesn’t take long for a journalist to become a cynic. Skepticism grows along with a thick skin and a demeanor where one needs to ask the tough questions. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. If not the journalist, then whom?

In my column yesterday questioning the merit of President Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize after only nine months in office, I wrote that neither Obama nor the White House staff knew he had been nominated, “as far as we can tell.”

At least one reader took offense, claiming I was a hack making a cheap shot and comparing me with Glenn Beck. Fine. My first reaction was putting me and Beck in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

The cynic in me made me do it. It’s not as though I don’t believe the White House surprise. Rather, I find it incredulous Obama’s staff was 100% clueless. Someone or group nominated the president. Word gets around, usually.

My suspicion — and, yes, it comes from out of left field — is it came from someone/group associated or on the fringe of Obama’s presidential campaign committee. There’s nothing wrong or sinister about that....
