The Nobel prizes continue to lose their shine.

Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing, a firebrand who shoots from the hip with outrageous claims, told a newspaper that the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States wasn’t so bad, and Americans are naïve.

Breitbart.com reports on the despicable statements:

“September 11 was terrible, but if one goes back over the history of the IRA, what to the Americans wasn’t that terrible,” the Nobel Literature Prize winner told the leading Spanish daily El Pais.
“Some Americans will think I’m crazy. Many people died, two prominent buildings fell, but it was neither as terrible nor as extraordinary as they think. They’re a very naive people, or they pretend to be,” she said in an interview published Sunday.

We may be naïve, but we damned well know when we’ve suffered a horrendous attack on our homeland by evil men drive by a perverted sect of Islam. Lessing is a sick woman whose only award should have been a one-way ticket to a rubber room.

Lessing won the Nobel Prize for literature earlier this month. She was praised by the judges for her “skepticism, fire and visionary power.”

Next, Lessing will say Americans are responsible for global warming.
