#1 I'm surprised he didn't invoke Rita Repulsa, given all the Morphin he's obviously been shooting.

#2 Hey, give him some credit. At least democrats admit what Jane Fonda did was wrong.

I'd call that progress, if 37 years after the fact.

#3 Maybe the Ego should start with something easier, like selling cars.

#4 So, what exactly does this racist have against a third world country hosting the Olympics for the first time ever? It's not like they don't have the expertise to hold major international events...they have Carnival every year and will host the World Cup in 2010.

(I have to admit it's a shocka to have them actually come out and say that Hanoi Jane wasn't such a wonderful woman after all....that is new.)

#5 Looks like Valerie Jaret and the rest of the Obama Chicago crime syndicate won't be able to pawn off their slums on the Olympic vilage committee after all. But, on the upside, those slums are now shovel ready for Obama to get people back to work.

#6 Now Hanoi Jane did something wrong? How is this? The press has been covering for her and saying it was legitimate dissent ever since it happened. I suppose it's a small step forward for them to finally admit that it was traitorous.

#7 Great - and just yesterday we had that humorless old fossil Garrison Keillor suggesting that Republicans be removed from any Obama-care coverage. Just great, just another part of what some call "the cold civil war."

#8 I'm surprised it wasn't compared to the holocaust and the right are all Nazis, which seems to be their typical insult.

Thanks Badanov for finding the silver lining in Ed Schultz. Baby steps, Ed, baby steps ...

#11 Any time MSNBC, and it's "commentators", are mentioned I'm reminded of the comment I read quite some time ago.."MSNBC has more letters in it's logo than it has viewers"...

#12 "Congratulations boys, you did a heck of a job. Just remember, when Obama fails, America fails."

Jeez EdÂ…get with the program. When Obama fails, the World fails.

#13 It has nothing to do with Obama apologizing for America.

Hosting the Olympics is very expensive, some cities are still paying after playing host.

Nice that Obama doesn't have nothing better to do than lower the importance of the Presidential office by trying so hard to get the Olympics here.
Just watch it on TV.

#15 Can someone link Reid's video of "We have lost the war in Iraq" from 2005-06 time frame. Talk about embracing defeat. Donks count on Americans having short memories - Keep pounding them!

#16 Narcissists have a low pain threshold. It's nothing personal, just business. Narcissists think it's all about me. Normal people say it is all about us. Meaning all of us.

So, here is a little wisdom from Al-Aska Paul, residnet imam for you willing to listen.

Life is a series of lessons to be learned and mastered. There are no failing grades.

You are handed a lesson to learn. If you learn, you are handed another lesson.

If you do not learn, then you will be handed the same lesson in a different form.

Like the previous lesson(s) you will learn it or be handed the same lesson over in a different form.

As you grow older and gain wisdom, you grow as a person, getting more understanding and helping others along the way in this circle of life.

If you don't learn the lessons, you will become f*cked up, ugly, and bitter.

It's your choice. In the end you will forget all of this. But the trip will have been worth it if you learned the lessons life hands you. It can be fun and satisfying, like doing your best sharpening job on a chain saw, and watching the long wood chips come out of the fast opening cut in the log.

#19 Barak Hussein Obama
With his daughters very own mama
Flew off to Copenhagen
For Chicago's Olympic Gold

But amid the audible sighs
from the CNN news guys
Their Holy Grail quest died
When the IOC said "No!"

#21 Another example of Obama's third world, bread and circuses mentality. Despots love the Olympics. They think it makes the rest of the world have a better opinion of them and the locals forget they are starving.
