This article seems to have run into Tom Lehrer's observation [1], decades ago, that sometimes reality makes a satirist's work impossible.

Also, there's either a missing ">" or a stray "</a" at the end of that link.

[1] Lehrer was reacting to the war criminal Henry Kissinger having been given the Nobel Peace Prize. That prize was awarded jointly to Kissinger and the North Vietnamese leader Le Duc Tho, who declined on the basis that Vietnam was not yet at peace.
