10 Reasons Winter Olympics is NOT like a GOP Convention

[Seabiscuit]

My favorites:

2.France gets cheered at the Winter Olympics

3.The GOP Convention is just one big downhill event.

While the Winter Olympics has more variety.

10.What the Winners Get

When you win at the Winter Olympics, you get to be the most famous guy in your Scandanavian village. When you win at the GOP Convention, you get to invade Iraq just ‘cause you want to.


etc...

1. I liked this one.

1.The Winter Olympics embraces international judging

If the Olympics were like a GOP Convention, the American figure skaters would only permit themselves to be judged by American judges.

2. Also GOP Convention would never allow figure skating.

In 2004 The Texas delegation turned their backs (literally) on Jim Kolbe, a gay Congressman from Arizona who was speaking on an innouous subject like trade. I'm sure they would throw spears at Johnny Weir (all skaters are perceived to be gay doncha know). The Arian race must remain purely het doncha know.
