According to ABC correspondent Claire Shipman, the botched Olympic bid by Barack Obama is actually a "good" thing for the President. Writing an online column for True/Slant, Shipman bizarrely spun, "It would have been great had he come home a winner. Great for all of us. But maybe not so much for him. Why? Because then he would have then [sic] really irked his critics."

They claim that this is good news because of the corruption with the Olympic bidding process.

Then why validate the Olympic process at all? Why make the effort to go there an appeal winning it for Chicago?

All the lapdog media have anal poisoning from having their noses in Othuggo’s butt.

So no matter what the turd does, they will praise it. Get used to it.

Writing an online column for True/Slant

Accent, certainly, on "Slant."

Actually, this is more “mental date rape.” This dumb broad is madly in love with this psychotic poseur, and no matter what he does, she’ll protect him and find some way of explaining it away and saying it really wasn’t actual, true, honest to goodness rape... he’s just misunderstood. She’s like the twits who visit serial killers in prison.

But don’t blame it on her on her being a woman. All of the guy reporters in the US are on the same wavelength.
