Yeah, good thing there never was an Olympics in an even filthier, more
crime-ridden, rampant dope-user, gang-infested cesspool like Los
Angeles.

(Looks off to the side) What? They DID have an Olympics there?

Just admit it. The *ONLY* reason you didn't want Chicago to get the
Olympics was because Obama was lobbying for it.

Like the congressman who scares the shit out of you losers, Alan Grayson
says, "What side are you rooting for?"
