"Some of the opinions I've heard here in Norway are more or less to the effect that Berge's comment lessened rather than enhanced the effect of awarding the prize to Carter. In Norwegian the expression is "han dreit på draget" -that is- "He sh*t on the wagon tongue"."
Interesting, bassen. We've had sort of the same sentiment expressed here in the US, in regards to Carter's acceptance speech & comments about the ways the Bush administration is waging the war on terrorism, and it's "unilateralist stance".
