RUSH: Lets take a brief time-out. Its Open Line Friday. Well get started on the phones. (interruption) Yes, Im gonna get (interruption) Okay. (interruption) They keep pressuring me here about Lindsey Vonn. What is it about Lindsey Vonn thats got you so fascinated in there? (interruption) Tigers ex? Is that what it is? (interruption) All right. Heres 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 everybodys eyes perk up in there. Theres an actress out there that used to be on a TV show called Law & Order, and her name is Elisabeth Rohm.
Im telling you Lindsey Vonn, facially (I dont know much else), is a dead ringer. Its uncanny. It doesnt mean anything. Its just Im 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 CNNs Alpine Edge. CNNs Alpine Edge? Does CNN have a ? Is that somebodys 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 didnt represent the president? Does Ms. Vonn realize half the people in America voted for Trump? Probably not, doesnt care. Shes 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 didnt get her a movie deal. (interruption)
No, no, no. I dont know that that was the objective. She didnt 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 dont think that there are a lot of people currently in our government that do that.
And Vonn revealed she wouldnt 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 wont go. And heres the audio. This is from CNNs 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 dont 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. Doesnt think there are a lot of people currently in our government who are representing the United States well.
Best female skier of all time? Hmm ... maybe. It’s hard to compare them across generations because it’s only in the last 20 years or so that you’d see someone competing for so long that she could be preparing for a fourth Winter Olympics (even a fifth, if she hadn’t been injured in 2014).
[She is getting grief on her FB page!]
GOOD!!!
Thanks for the info.
If she was asked to explain how she has been treated negatively in the past 11 months because of Trump I doubt that she would have an answer.
I asked a female Trump hater that question and she just sputtered-———couldn’t come up with a thing.
.
Ditto that!
Lindsey Vonn is just frustrated that Tiger Woods dumped her.
What about Tigers maid? How does she feel? Or his lawn service guy? garbageman? dentist? These are questions we need answered. Why is the media not covering this? Is there a cover-up?
If she skis, I hope she busts her a$$ a couple of times.
Bitch.
Meanwhile, Trump has recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and AG Sessions has launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood, while the Dow has hit new record highs.
Insignificant much, Lindsey?
Just checking my list of things to do today...
Looking for “Caring about what Lindsey Vonn has to say”
Looking...
Looking
Ah! Here it is!
Just after “Mash nuts flat with a sledgehammer.”
Shut up and ski, Toots. Hurry up with those drinks and sandwiches, too.
Anyone who takes a knee on the podium while the anthem plays will lose my respect.
In my opinion, she’s no better than a kneeling NFL anti-American schmuck. I have no use for her and will not watch her or support her in any way; period!!!
I had to gag down Obama and his Liberal vermin for eight years. These Liberal bottom-feeders can suck sewer water.
Ever since he made up a story about being racially harassed as a child, I have had nothing but contempt for Eldrick Woods (I refuse to call him by his nickname). He and that Lindsey girl deserve one another.
OK lol. I admit, I have never heard that specific combination of words in my life, and I don’t know what it means to boot, but it sure is funny!
coal-burning ham-wallet
lol
I’m a boy from the suburbs of Boston...could you please explain what that is? Assuming you can do so without being banned that is! ;-)
Cite me one female skier who even comes close to her 77 World Cup victories...and this is in an era when skiing has not only become more competitive in skills but in the equipment being used. When you consider that a first place podium time is only .9 seconds faster than the 10th place skier, the equipment and it's tuning is likely 90% of the final time.
What's remarkable about her record is the number of WC events she had missed due to the extreme injuries she has sustained over the years but yet overcame.........Without those injuries there is no question that she would have exceeded Stenmark's victories.......
Do that long enough and you'll pass out ...
Tiger played a round of golf with President Trump two weeks ago in Florida. He played with him right after the election last year, too. Tiger may have been a bad husband but he is a patriot and always supportive of our military.
If the “atheletes” start this nonsense, I can do without the Olympics.
