Comedy gold: CNN anchor in utter disbelief as Chicago is eliminated
posted at 12:00 pm on October 2, 2009 by Allahpundit
I’ll keep updating the other thread but this one’s too much fun to bury there. An instant classic, courtesy of Greg Hengler.
Update: While you watch, a question from John Miller to meditate on. I fear we all know the answer, my friends.

Yes, for all of us relative newcomers to the site, who got here after this legendary humpbot seems to have been retired.

That assh0le!™ If he hadn´t wasted all that time with General McChrystal, he could have landed the Olympics

OBAMA: BASHES THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS
BUT THINKS HE IS THE SAVIOR OF THE ORIGINAL OLYMPICS????
battleoflepanto1571 on October 2, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but does this count as 2 failures since both Obamas participated?
Sort of 2 for the price of 1?
I’m just saying let’s spread the failure around, let’s remember there are 2 losers here, not just one.

Everyone has to listen to the news-anchors in total disbelief. I’ll sum it up for you. Obama was suppose to the savior of mankind.

infidel4life on October 2, 2009 at 12:19 PM
That’s what you get for offering the IOC “soaring oratory” rather than the expected cumshaw…
Talk is cheap, as they say, but the Olympics cost money.

For the first time in may adult life, I am pround of the IOC.

I would love to see the footage of the Obamas and the Oprah as that announcement was made.

WHAT?! Chicago is OUT? WHAT?!
Hilarious.
bridgetown on October 2, 2009 at 12:20 PM
If you didn’t know the background on Avery Brundage before now, you’re fixing to find it out over the next couple of days, and how it reflects on the current IOC, thanks to the outraged big media.
jon1979 on October 2, 2009 at 12:21 PM
Drudge Headlines are pretty funny:
“THE EGO HAS LANDED
WORLD REJECTS OBAMA: CHICAGO OUT IN FIRST ROUND ”
“Obama + Michelle x Oprah= Zero “
NickelAndDime on October 2, 2009 at 12:21 PM
Well, I suppose Obama can go on Letterman’s Late Show with Oprah, and they can all cry in their beers. Oh yeah – I forgot – Oprah can’t stand Dave!

ted c on October 2, 2009 at 12:22 PM
LOL, LOL, LOL.
The funniest part is I couldn’t give the teeniest rat’s arse about this whole Olympics thing. Honestly, they are such as massive waste of time and money.
But watching people lose their sh*t over this is priceless. Especially since the newsflash should be: The world is bigger than the United States and the Obama worshippers need to get their heads out of their hindquarters over some irrelevant sporting event.

No, I’ve ALWAYS said he was #2
Jeff from WI on October 2, 2009 at 12:22 PM

Jeff from WI on October 2, 2009 at 12:23 PM
They really did think he was going to get the Olympics just by showing up, didn’t they?
It’s scary if you stop to think about it. Scary that there are so many people who are so deeply enamored with O for no substantive reason.
Oink on October 2, 2009 at 12:23 PM
Well, the American taxpayer just saved about 50 Billion Dollars. It’s a start.

ohiobabe on October 2, 2009 at 12:23 PM
That was great. I hope Rio gets it! Shame on Obama for trying to make the Olympics political! Shame shame shame. I’m glad the world can see through him. Finally!

Obama in the WH corner curled, wimpering, up with Michelle beating on him.
Jeff from WI on October 2, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Oh, you’re kidding!! Details please!
Oink on October 2, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Three questions and a request to Imagine!:
Hard to win without Affirmative Action, ain’t it?
I wonder if the IOC has been watching BecK?
I wonder if this will tick off The One so much that He will decide to win the Afgan war?
Imagine the jokes if President Bush had been b*tch slapped this way.
IlikedAUH2O on October 2, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Rush just nailed it. Daley has dirt on Obama, so Obama had to follow Daley’s wishes and try to land the Olympics.

right2bright on October 2, 2009 at 12:29 PM
Remember this moment my friends, and remember it well. Come 2010, you will feel this exasperation and disbelief when both houses lose most of their democratic seats. Still, the liberals just don’t get it. Look to healthcare tank, cap and trade fizzle, and any future TARP bill coming down the pike crash and burn. When the time comes, even Ralph Nader will poll better than Obama.

And all the Obambi apologies to the world just went to waste??? I thought Obambi was sorry for everything America has done, and that’s not enough for a stinky Olympics?? And all the sacrifices Michelle has to suffer for flying her private jet to Denmark? Oh the RACISM, the RACISM!!

Oh dear God.

Oh man, to be on Oprah’s private jet and listen to that conversation…
Does the Secret Service have a plan on how Obama crawls out of Denmark?
