Top 10 Reasons Chicago Didn't Get the Olympics
National Review ^ | October 2, 2009 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 10/02/2009 12:03:24 PM PDT by La Lydia

10. Dead people can't vote at IOC meetings

9. Obama distracted by 25 min meeting with Gen. McChrystal

8. Who cares if Obama couldn't talk the IOC into Chicago? He'll be able to talk Iran out of nukes.

7. The impediment is Israel still building settlements. 5. We've been quite clear and said all along that we didn't want the Olympics.

4. This isn't about the number of Olympics "lost", it's about the number of Olympics "saved" or "created".

3. Clearly not enough wise Latina judges on the committee

2. Because the IOC is racist.

1. It's George Bush's fault.

Regards of their efforts, I think they are probably sitting around laughing about it anyway, with an evil Rove chuckle providing the sound track. Maybe Rove will be on Fox tonight performing it.

11) Many IOC delegates were not convinced that Chicago had sufficient square mileage to accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators, athletes, AND Oprah's rear-end.

12) Voters turned off by Chicago's insistence on adding “Railroad Tie Beatings” as an experimental event in 2016.

13) Confusing ballots caused many, elderly, would be Chicago voters inadvertently cast ballots for “Pat Buchanan”.

14) After listening to Michelle and Barack each talk about nothing but themselves for 20 minutes, voters couldn't recall which city they were promoting.
