Chinese Dissident Liu Xiaobo Wins 2010 Nobel Peace Prize

And the Nobel Peace Prize recovers a tiny shred of dignity.  Oh, it'll never really be a true honor, not after the shenanigans of the past, but at least this year wasn't the execrable circus of last year's laughable idiocy.
Imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo wins the prize this year, and Beijing is furious.  Good.  It's now denounced Liu as a "criminal" -- thereby legitimizing him more than ever.
