In the end their mistake was making this about Bam instead of about the Olympics. The reason Chicago lost was BECAUSE of Bam, they did not want this to turn into the Bam Olympics and have him and Michelle on TV as the heros of getting the games to Chicago. If he would have kept a low profile and lobbied/bribed behind the scenes, they might have pulled it off.
Why would the IOC want the games in Chicago if it meant that it was about Bam and not about the games? Very rational an the part of the IOC, they saw thru his game.
It was interesting that Rush and others have started laughing at Bam. Narcissists cannot stand to be laughed at. He may get real erratic in the next few months, especially if more people start to make fun of him.

I couldn’t listen to Rush today because of work.
I can only imagine how he played this.
I agree, this is an unmitigated train-wreck for Obama, just one of a continuing series. The SRM has got this guy’s balloon so overblown, the pop is going to be a doozy to watch. I just hope not too many decent Americans are hurt in the collateral damage.
As I understand it, some of the smarter SRMers are already heading for the exits.
I see very little rationality in the IOC and the Olympics is tainted with the selection of the butchers of Beijing.
With the possible exception of San Francisco, Chicago was like the worst possible choice of an American city for the Olympics.
