Depriving Malaria and Sharia of a chance to see the Olympics live? Sounds like one percenter child abuse to me.

My guess is the IOC made Pooty soften his stance on allowing gays otherwise they’d have no Mens figure skating competitions.

Good God, NBC had to have THE CLOWN on during the Olympics too???
Narcissism.
To: MeshugeMikey
Didn’t want to distract? Yea, Mr. Humble he ain’t.
1. No 6 star accomodations for him and his entourage of 500.
2. He would be upstaged by the games and athletes.
3. The Russians would make fun of him.
4. He heard it was on the Black Sea and thought that was racist.
