RUSH: Let’s take a brief time-out. It’s Open Line Friday. We’ll get started on the phones. (interruption) Yes, I’m gonna get… (interruption) Okay. (interruption) They keep pressuring me here about Lindsey Vonn. What is it about Lindsey Vonn that’s got you so fascinated in there? (interruption) Tiger’s ex? Is that what it is? (interruption) All right. Here’s the story. Grab audio sound bite number 19. By the way, when I see Lindsey Vonn, you know who she looks like? (interruption) Well, now everybody’s eyes perk up in there. There’s an actress out there that used to be on a TV show called Law & Order, and her name is Elisabeth Rohm.
I’m telling you Lindsey Vonn, facially (I don’t know much else), is a dead ringer. It’s uncanny. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just I’m just illustrating my observational prowess. Anyway, skier Lindsey “Vonn is in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where she spoke passionately about what it means to compete for the U.S. ski team. ‘Well I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the president,’ Vonn told CNN’s Alpine Edge.” CNN’s Alpine Edge? Does CNN have a…? Is that somebody’s name or is that a show? Maybe CNN has its own lodge?
Have you ever heard any Olympic athlete in the past ever claiming they didn’t represent the president? Does Ms. Vonn realize half the people in America voted for Trump? Probably not, doesn’t care. She’s 33 “and getting ready for the final act,” it says. Their words. “The 33-year-old Vonn is getting ready for the final act of a long and illustrious career.” Well, maybe “act” is right. You know, the fling with Tiger didn’t get her a movie deal. (interruption)
No, no, no. I don’t know that that was the objective. She didn’t get a movie deal. They broke up, and the rumors were because he was catting around. “Away from the slopes, Vonn also appears willing to put her head above the parapet and speak out about U.S. politics. ‘I take the Olympics very seriously and what they mean and what they represent, what walking under our flag means in the opening ceremony,’ she added. ‘I want to represent our country well. I don’t think that there are a lot of people currently in our government that do that.’ …
“And Vonn revealed she wouldn’t accept an invitation to the White House if she were to win gold at Pyeongchang. ‘Absolutely not,’ said Vonn. ‘No. But I have to win to be invited. No actually I think every U.S. team member is invited so no I won’t go.” And here’s the audio. This is from CNN’s website, Christina Macfarlane speaking with Lindsey Vonn. “You previously competed in three Olympics under two presidents. How will it feel competing in an Olympics for the United States whose president is Trump?”
VONN: Ummmmm… (haltingly) Well, I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the president. You know, I want to represent our country well, and I don’t think there are a lot of people currently in our government that do that.
MACFARLANE: Would you accept an invitation to the White House if you were to win Olympic gold in Pyeongchang?
VONN: Absolutely not.
RUSH: “Absolutely not.” No doubt about it, absolutely. Doesn’t “think there are a lot of people currently in our government” who are representing the United States well.
I tried to support her on another thread but what she said is indefensible. Arguably the best female skier ever in the history of world Cup skiing and now she has to go stupid on Trump..........Sheesh!
So ski under the u.n. flag.
I’m sure Trump will lose a lot of sleep over it.
Tiger’s ex hookers most likely hate Trump too..
Of course, maybe she is one of them too.
She fell on her head too many times.
YAWN
Brain freeze.
Pfft! I used to enjoy watching the Olympics. You know some of them will take a knee.
The Wannabe Gangsta Babe snarls.
Maybe she could ski Compton this year.
Find her level and sink to it.
Good. I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon! Strike me down with all your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
I say give her a break. She's probably getting a ration of crap from her European friends on the tour and just wants to stop it. It's not like she has time to keep up with politics. She lives in a bubble.
I would still spank that twice, film it and watch it again at 11....
What if, somehow, you walked out of the ski shop in Pyeongchang with one of those iron/O2 hand warmers without paying for it, and Trump gets you out of the hoosegow? How about in time for your event(s)?
For some odd reason I’m not overly impressed with the thoughts of someone whose big accomplishments in life consist of not falling off skis and being some golfer’s squeezetoy.
I think I will root for the Polish girl.
Does anyone really care what that coal-burning ham-wallet has to say?
She is getting grief on her FB page!
They shouldn’t invite this liberal skank to the White House, ever.
It probably required significant sanitizing after the Obama group.
This is pretty far back in the WGAF file.
