Just in case you missed this AWESOME moment from last night:

Video: (BEACH) VOLLEYBALL TEAM WINS GOLD, BLINDSIDES NBC WITH SHOUT-OUT TO (PRESIDENT) BUSH!
August 21, 2008 by Allahpundit

A palate cleanser by popular request; you’ll remember our heroines here from the Butt-Pat That Wasn’t. The official Olympics site has highlights of the match but this snippet had to be rescued from oblivion by Tivo. Exit question: Good lord — don’t they know who runs this network now?

The comments were worth going to the link...but couldn’t
watch the video at this time.

Those are awesome girls. I have always made fun of beach
volleyball...but I think I like it now! LOL!

It seems that NBC Really does not want anyone to see that Shout out to President Bush. Although the item is still listed on Hot Air, not even the link to 187 comments about the video works now (unless it is just a problem with my computer.)

Since I couldn’t see the video on Hot Air, I went to google to look for other reporting and found a point by point description of the match. The author worte a good story all the way to the last paragraph and then -— Wow! was all I could say.

“May and Walsh won their 108th consecutive match and became the most successful beach volleyball team of all time. May brought a vial of her mother’s ashes to scatter in the tournament sand. Then, strangely, Kerry Walsh exclaimed to an NBC reporter that she wanted to “thank President Bush for all that he does!””

“Not the best way to end the most amazing professional beach volleyball career in history, but as someone who’s not likely to ever win a gold medal, it was nice for me to know that nobody’s perfect...”

DrDeb, thank you for this link!! It was terrific to hear our winning Volleyball women’s team thank our wonderful President for his inspiration. I’m so happy for these young women for winning GOLD and happy for our President for being recognized for his goodness.
