Women's Volleyball Gold Medalists directly thank President Bush

[Scarchin]

Just saw Kerri Walsh pause the interview after winning the gold to thank W for his inspiration,

Class.

[Senator Goldwater]

Yeah, that was nice. Must’ve driven NBC crazy.

[DocRock]

Because it was live and not edited... I saw it, too.

[nhoward14]

That was so awesome along with May’s comment about needing to “make the team of the future”.

LOL

Congrats girls... and their husbands!

[sharkhawk]

That’s going to make the DUmmies heads explode. I saw it too, wonder if Bob Costas or any of the lefties on NBC will mention it.

[llevrok]

The presidential pat on the tush did it, eh?

[Southack]

Cool!

Bush rocks!

[txroadkill]

I was watching with my dad, he looked at me after they thanked Bush and said, “well, I guess they wont be on Letterman next week.”

[Scarchin]

Yes - I noticed that the interviewer brushed the comment aside, but Walsh’s enthusiasm overshadowed it.

[filbert]

You don’t suppose those lovely and athletic ladies are . . . GASP . . . REPUBLICANS?????

(I married a Division I volleyball player . . . who’s a Republican, so they’re out there!)

[roses of sharon]

That was great, Pres Bush is probably crying!

Congrats to Kerri and Misty!

[max americana]

I just heard about the ‘THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT’ on radio one in Westwood (L.A.). right now.

The announcers didn;t say a word about it, but kept on rambling on stupidly like they knew sports.

[FlingWingFlyer]

First Kobe Bryant and now this. These athletes are really starting to earn my respect again. I love it when Americans act like Americans. Isn’t President Bush “McCain’s president?”

[libh8er]

Now watch her get savaged in the left wing kook blogosphere.

[mware]

LOL, and then one of the girls said she wanted to start making babies.

The nags at NOW must be so ticked.

[roses of sharon]

Yes, and she called him an inspiration, he must have given them a pep talk!

[kms61]

what did Kobe Bryant say?

[al baby]

I worked for Kent Steffes he won the Beach gold medal in the 96 olympics and then spoke at the convetion later that year introduced by Newt. Lots of beach Vollyballers are conservative

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Just went over there and they're not mentioning it yet. I was working on my sewer yesterday and there wasn't much difference between that and DUmmieland.

US athletes might as well thank President Bush as they are already on the outs with the DUmmies by beating the left’s favorite the Chicle's.

[Scarchin]

I think I know who’s gotten an invite to the White House for a public congrats!!!

[TheEaglehasLanded]

I don’t think President Bush should have honored the Chinese Communist government that sells us lead toys, but good to hear some of the athletes have some class.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I meant Chicoms.

[dfwgator]

Now watch her get savaged in the left wing kook blogosphere.

One can only imagine the vitriol Roseanne Barr has in store for her.

[wastedyears]

That was awesome

I jumped up when the ball hit the sand after Kerri killed it.

I’m happy for them. About the only things I enjoyed were swimming and the women’s volleyball.

[roses of sharon]

What a great win that was, in a rainstorm!!!

[Hildy]

I’ve gotta say, the American athletes have shown nothing but class through every event. I’ve been so proud of all of them..win or lose, gracious and thankful and most all mentioning how proud they are to represent America. It’s been a great games! (Except for the Chinese cheating and all!)

[Scarchin]

She’s just jealous because of how she’d look in those v-ball outfits.

Methinks it would take at least 20 of those things just to cover Roseanne’s ass.

[Steve_Stifler]

Forget Sarah Palin. Kerri Walsh for vice-president!!! Think of the inauguration bikini, errrr, gown.

Oh drats, the Constitution’s dang pesky age requirement ruins another great idea.

[skateman]

Saw it, I knew I liked those girls for more than the way they filled out those swim suits, oh yeah, also the way that they play the game.

[max americana]

>Yes, and she called him an inspiration, he must have given them a pep talk!<

That’s it..I love those 2!:)Those husbands of theirs are darn lucky to have them.

[nhoward14]

Misty May is way cuter.

[littlehouse36]

[txroadkill]

LOL, I bet Rush has fun with that tomorrow.

[abigailsmybaby]

I was working on my sewer yesterday

See any democrats floatin' around?

[wastedyears]

Wow, NBC just mentioned that Kerri thanked the President.

[hole_n_one]

Because it was live.....

Not on the west coast.

It has yet to air in this time zone, and, because of the way the post is titled, you know what what means..........

[hsalaw]

what did Kobe Bryant say?

Summarized: that America is the greatest country ever, and he's always been proud to be an American.

[goldstategop]

World class! I'm proud when our athletes take the time to say a good word of our President.

[fhayek]

Why is it axiomatic among the media elite that Bush is both universally reviled and summarily dismissed as a failed president? I, like millions of us, find inspiration in his faith, in his resolve and in his leadership. I feel that there is a growing disconnect between the drive-bys and the real America. That is why they are so shocked at the recent performance by Obama in the polls.

[mware]

Did you hear her when she said, I threw my moms ashes onto the sand but didn't know they were putting on the planks.

I don't know where those planks will be going but my mom is going to go with them.

[originalbuckeye]

They are AMERICANS first. And last. Our journalist community doesn't get that fact. I am always proud of our Americans who excel at the Olympic sports. I have lived in a Socialist Country (Britain is the 80’s) and the USA is the best place to live on Earth! Period! Many of our athletes GET it, too.

[hole_n_one]

you know what what that means..........

I really suck.

[lesser_satan]

I think one of them is already a mom, IIRC.

[Scarchin]

Why is it axiomatic among the media elite that Bush is both universally reviled and summarily dismissed as a failed president?

Because they HATE him!

I know you knew that ;)

[wastedyears]

Yes, I saw that.

[Hildy]

I think being in China made them MORE appreciative of what we have in America..when they say it, it’s almost like they’re saying it for the first time...I’m not saying they are, just that it sounds like it’s fresh in their minds.

[altura]

Saw it! Loved it!

[lawnguy]

Why is it axiomatic among the media elite that Bush is both universally reviled and summarily dismissed as a failed president?

I think it's a combination of wishful thinking, and the fact that they don't personally hang around with people who would like President Bush.

I find myself extremely disappointed in his communication skills, but I also respect his ability to focus on the bigger picture, and I think History will be very kind to his watch.

[Spok]

“I was watching with my dad, he looked at me after they thanked Bush and said, “well, I guess they wont be on Letterman next week.”

That says it all. Maybe the committee will review the rules they used to take Jim Thorp’s medals away from him.
