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.
She’s just another dingbat liberal with nothing between her ears. No one gives a damn about her opinion, especially her republican ex bf.
I think Zurbriggen really only competed in 9 seasons, not 10. His bio lists 1982-1990 as his career in World Cup skiing; it looks like he started competing late in the 1981 season. He and Girardelli were the same age but Girardelli competed a few years longer. During the seven peak years when their careers overlapped, Zurbriggen won all four of his World Cup overall titles and finished #2 to Girardelli the other three years.
I was surprised to see that Girardelli never won an Olympic gold medal, either -- considering he had the advantage of competing in three Winter Olympics in six years (with the two-year lag between the 1992 and 1994 Games).
She’s no Suzy Chapstick
She’s no Suzy Chapstick
Looks like I may not watch any of the Olympics. The NFL has become repugnant to me, and she has started on to do the same for the Olympics.
There are endless reasons to not watch the Olympics.... my last watch of them (unless I stumbled across them) was when they were in Montreal.....
No. They should invite her. Definitely. Force her to refuse officially. There go the ad revenues.
1. Ice Hockey -- especially the medal round games
2. Men's Downhill
3. Snowboard Cross (I don't like X-Games events, but this is like NASCAR on a ski slope!)
She might not be a liberal, but she is definitely a #Never Trumper
Is her RBF Trump’s fault?
“Do that long enough and you’ll pass out ...”
One of Matt Lauer’s “conquests” says that the position that caused her to pass out.
Hate is one of the defining characteristics of the modern liberal.
She is going downhill fast.
Why wouuld an already famous woman want to jump in the sack with Tiger after he tramped around with porn stars? Just bizarre.
Too much jaw tabby
I’ll watch the Olympics now just to see her fail....then she won’t have to worry about being invited to the White House...
? So was he an early Nazi or a late Nazi?
