It’s crashing. It’s crashing terrible. Oh, the huge vanity…!

hindenburg

I. CAN. NOT. BE-LIEVE that our greenhorn president really, genuinely went to Copenhagen to lobby for Chicago to get the Olympics. Like others, I assumed he had it in the bag before flying out to accept the honor (which was tacky enough, but just inside the bounds). To prostrate THE OFFICE OF MY COUNTRY’S PRESIDENT before the international gang of midget wrestlers that is the Olympic Committee, and to do it ON SPEC?! AND FAIL?!

Oh, I am sorely vexed. I’m not sure the heady pleasure of watching him crash and burn can make up for the hot ouchy of the international humiliation. Can somebody fax this bozo a copy of the job description, please?

There ought to be some kind of Internet Snark Award for the wag at Drudge who came up with the headline The Ego Has Landed.

EDIT: changed ‘humanity’ to ‘huge vanity.’ Thenk yew, lauraw.

Oh the humanity!

I thought I couldn’t think less of BO’s qualifications to be president, but today I do. That he would stick out his scrawny neck in Copenhagen without Chicago being a sure thing is mindboggling. Honestly, my mind is boggled right now.

‘fraid yer man Drudge nicked that headline. It has rarely been more aptly applied, though!

My heartiest congratulations to the good folk of Chicago and the USA, who have avoided an awful fate which we, in this benighted island, will be suffering all to soon.

It has been reported that Nelson Muntz will be dispatched by Fox to point and laugh at The President, at the earliest opportunity.

The more amusing thing is how the American media is trying to help BO save face. They exclaim that Chicago came in second(never mind they where bumped off first; or they calm that everyone came in second).

Just another foreign policy faux pas. I cough in BO’s general direction.

Mayor Daley will have a contract out on someone shortly. Epic fail on someone’s part. How is Mr. Mayor going to pay off all those people without diverted tax monies now? He’ll have to resort to diverted Stimulus monies.

I have just one question. If you’re from the Chicago Machine how do you fuck up a Chicago style pay to play racket?

Good grief the IOC is as crooked as can be, and he apparently wasn’t aware of that. Faceplant of the season.

I just LOVE it when “Teh One” publicly eats shit. It makes me happeh!

In honor of yesterday’s entries:

There once was a thug named Obama
Whom Teddy confused with Osama
He thought he was cool
But we know he’s a tool
And his wife has face like a llama.

Speaking of the Pity President picture, I saw these in the store the other day and had to get them to take a picture for you, Miz Weasel. 😛 You are lucky I don’t have an address for you or they’d be in the mail on their way to England!

He’s welcome to take over from London in 2012 if he wants. The poor UK taxpayer is, what, £20 billion in the hole already? Chicago dodged a bullet if you ask me (I’m still sniggering up my sleeve at how chock full of FAIL this whole episode is, though).

Hey, maybe there was a participation trophy the non-dream team brought back. They can display it in the foyer of City Hall in Chicago, take some pictures of Mayor Daley showing it off.

To the Wickedly Witty Weasel Woman-a request. When the Iowahawk contest is over would you kindly post your entries here so that we may all bask in the awesomeness and hoot loudly as we (well, me at least) guzzle adult beverages?

Actually, on not-so-sober reflection (it being Friday and all that) I’m getting rather worried. Adam Smith said there was a lot of ruin in a nation, but the fund is not without end, and Obama’s spending like a crack-addicted lottery winner. If I had been given a glimpse in 1997 of the utter desuetude to which the Labour Party would bring Britain I would have passed it off as a hallucination. I knew Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were bad news, and I flit the coop at the earliest opportunity, but I had no idea that the mad Gramscians were going to tie the country down and go full-tilt Roman Polanski on it. If, next year, BHO’s wings aren’t severely clipped (and preferably amputated) in the mid-terms, then he’s going to make Jimmy Carter look like Thomas Jefferson.

Scubafreak, why oh why would the U.S. want another chance at the games “in due course”?

Mitt made the Olympics work, didn’t he? I used to be a fan, but I was sorely disappointed in his performance in the last GOP race. Now, not so much of a fan.

Thank you, Nicole. Snuggle Buddies is exactly what I needed to wake up to this morning. AIIIIIIIIIIII

Here in Chicago, “There was much rejoicing.”

Taxpayers who won’t be on the hook for the overruns.

Cops, who now have a chance of getting a contract. (They’ve been without for over two years.)

The students at Collins High School, who won’t have their new $30M gym and pool torn down to make room for an indoor bicycle track. (Really.)

And me.

Oh, yeah. The Olympics is a rolling corruption-fest and we’re definitely better off without hosting it (foolish, foolish London. Glad we aren’t there any more).

But the more I read, the more it seems Obama thinks he can just flash his pearly whites and get anything he asks for. The man is a great sucking black hole of vanity and self-regard.
