I would have preferred Buenos Aries to be the first city in South Africa to host the games…

Not Buenos Sagittarius? Fine, have it your way. As long as we’re making stuff up.

“…because some-ah people out there in our nation don’t *have* maps and-ah I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Eye-raq everywhere like such as… I believe that they should… our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S…. or should help South Africa, and should help the Eye-raq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.”

…but I can understand why Rio was chosen.

Like, for instance, because it’s actually in South America?

I’m shocked that Australia got to host an Olympics before South Africa.

Really? Given that the Olympic bid was awarded to Sydney in 1993 and South Africa didn’t hold multiracial elections until 1994? You know how the world community looks on that kind of thing — or don’t you?

“Mmm mmm mmm
Rio De Janeiro!!”

Africa clearly deserves a shot in the next two or three. Just not sure what city/country would be able to finance a bid… Jimbo3 on October 2, 2009 at 10:03 PM

Chicago, USA

Who do you think you’re fooling jingo?
The only “work” you do is scuttle in & out of your cesspit…

as the King would of said:Thank you, thank you very much.
(Of course I mean the real King of rock n roll, not the washed up old white woman who passed away recently.)

You leftists are right: I am going to shut up, sit down, and wait for orders from Team Ego.

I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of Plug Plagerizer’s epic success “Porkulus” to help the 13% unemployed. Thank God Obama for all those “saved” jobs.

Clearly Obama wasn’t even smart enough to offer a bigger bribe to the IOC than Rio did.

I am sure he did but the problem was the ink wasn’t dry on our newley printed money to pass it on

South America has never had them and Rio is a world class city. I just think it was time for the Olympics to be in South America…their turn.

Had similar thoughts about Rio. Now Africa is the only continent that has never hosted an Olympics.

Check out the graphic.

The IOC’s rejection of Chicago’s bid was a “bitch-slap,” Limbaugh said. “Upside the head.”

Followed by “The Ego has landed.”

I love that man – he’s such a wit!
