Tonya Harding's back and this time she's swinging at President Barack Obama.
In an interview on HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," the infamous Oregonian lashes out at Obama for talking about doing a "Tonya Harding" and "knee-capping" on the campaign trail in his fight against then U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.
"He has this country to think about .¤.¤. and he has to bring me up?" she says bitterly. "Guess what? I get jobs because he used my name on national television."
So, strap on your knee pads and have a listen. But be aware there are some Tonyaesque expletives:
I have her autograph and a picture of us together, she’s awesome!
She may be a skank but she’s the only female skater that has ever done a the Triple Axle and can do quad toe loop.
EEEEE-YIIII-KESSSS
Disgusting and very sad photo. Sad because she once was a pretty girl with a world-class ability to skate. Once she had promise but was and remains self-destructive to an horrendous degree.
Looks like one of those cool oblique smears by partisan media shills. “Oh look — only losers like Tanya Harding are against Obama.”
Yeah, jobs. She appeared at a bowling alley/bar in south GA, (Douglas). A real happening town, that. Maybe 10,000 in the county.
I think she’s probably had enough of being anathema. She was a very talented skater.
Well, actually Harding was living with a guy about a dozen years ago, he was my late husband’s cousin. She attacked him with a hubcap.
Well, at least someone can credit Obama for getting her work. Come to think of it, now Obama will probably claim he WAS responsible for helping her, LOL!
She was a great skater, to bad she was surrounded by people that brought their trashy attitude to the rink.....
I've always thought those were the tricks she could do, uhm, horizontally!
At least he didn’t talk about doing the macacarena.
I’ll bet Tonya would give a better gift to a national figure than 25 movies on DVD’s.
I second that.
She was a gifted skater. I won’t diss her talent. To this day, she’s the only female to have done a triple axle.
I have to ask, did he deserve it? Or was she being a witch on a broom?
“she’s swinging at President Barack Obama”
but the newscaster has it all wrong, as did Obama....Tanya put Nancy Kerrigan out at the ankle, not the knee! The ‘kneecap’ headlines were all ‘media truth’ back then, just as we all know ‘media truth’...ie, lies, all lies!
You give Pres_ent Obama (without the id) waaayyy too much credit! He's just enriching 'the shorts' this week, prior to enriching them as 'longs' next month...rather than Pres_ent Obama (without the id), I like to call him President Long April, Short March....kinda has that Philipino Death March taste, with a hint of 'girly-man' that so well describes the current CIC! Would love to find out how many of his 'administration' were short America before joining up!...Perhaps we'll hear some of that before/during/after the March 12 'mark-to-market' hearings!
Give her some credit....she also said “He’s got better things to do than mention my name on TV”!!!! Would be ‘Understatement of the year’ if it weren’t against the UberLord-in-chief!
