Chicago is out.

[RICHARD]

Did you ever see this?

Arguably the single best downhill ever.

Meh,

Bill Johnson.

Is speed skiing still an Olympic event? Those guys and gals are nuts.

I heard that GWB is the real reason Chicago lost the bid.

Are we really bitter?

I read that article too Richard, and that wasn't given as the reason
Chicago lost their bid.

Just curious...where was an article that suggested that?

I honestly don't remember, I think Daily Beast or Huff Po.

I'll find it for you if you want to read it. It was just a throw away line at the beginning of the article.

From Politico -

Former Bush Press Secretary Dana Perino, who supported Chicago’s bid, shrugged off such reactions: “I… don’t know anyone who’s high-fiving,” Perino wrote in an e-mail. “Though I’d bet there are some doing that, I’m just as sure there are some who are finding a way to blame President Bush somehow. “

That wasn't the article I was speaking about. The article I saw was
saying that Europe still had a bad taste in their mouths from the Bush
years & was not enclined to favor America's bid.

I didn't read anything on it. I just heard it on a Sunday morning talk show and thought it was an astute observation.

Dana Perino is pretty hot. I'd like to see what's in her monring briefings.

GWB's press secretary says maybe that is what people are saying...

Isn't that what is called a red herring?

[RICHARD]

Some Chicago poltician-Burris- and Jesse Jackson both tossed GVB some blame.

LOL, what is the deal with sitting on my dad's lap and cheering one Carl Lewis?
