If you won a Roseanne Barr Award for Athletic Achievement or a Cameron Diaz Genius Prize, would you be honored or insulted?

Libya awarded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez the Muammar Gahdafi Human Rights Prize this weekend. "I feel bathed in honor," Chavez explained upon receiving the award. His reaction speaks volumes. So does the fact that Gadhafi singled him out for "honor."

With the current Nobel Peace Prize winner claiming that Western scientists developed HIV as a weapon of biological warfare, and past winners including the liar Rigoberta Menchu and the murderer Yasser Arafat, one might wonder why a Muammar Gadhafi Human Rights Prize is even necessary.

If you're not a weirdo, the Gadhafi Human Rights Prize probably strikes you as an oxymoron. But it's not even the most Orwellian award that has been handed out on the international stage. In the 1950s, such Communist lackeys as singer/entertainer Paul Robeson (the Susan Sarandon of his day), novelist Howard Fast, and German playwright Bertolt Brecht were awarded the Stalin Peace Prize. Later, when Stalin fell out of favor within the Kremlin, the prize was renamed for Lenin, and the Soviet government bestowed it upon W.E.B. Du Bois and Angela Davis. Like Chavez, they too basked in the "glory" bestowed upon them.

Something had to take the place of the Stalin Peace Prize for unintentional humor value, and that something is the Muammer Gadhafi Human Rights Prize. Congratulations, Hugo Chavez. You deserve this award.

Let's not forget Bill Clinton winning the Chauchescu Award for his role in covering up Vince Foster's murder. He beat out Idi Amin by only 4 votes. An impressive victory. Well done Bill!!!
