Insult or honour?

I adore the Dalai Lama with as much passion as I despise George W. Bush.
I’m not sure if the Congressional Gold Medal is even worth anything at all when this president is the one awarding it; furthermore, the Dalai Lama is so far and above the token that it’s like he has to stoop to [...]
