Who will be next to make a 'run for the border?'

My money is on the Polish judge.

Do crooked Olympic judges have diplomatic immunity during the games?

No, of course not. But shouldn't you identify a law that was broken first?

[Shermy]

Maybe some local muscle from the Icicle Gang showed up at her hotel door and gave her a message.

I'd leave town too!

Under those new terrorism laws can't we detain them indefinitely with no formal charges?

HHHHHEEEELLLLLOOOO, What the HELL is THIS?!! WHAT ABOUT THE AMERICAN COUPLE WHO PLACED 4TH, they were absolutely flawless. The chinese gave a lousy performance and the girl fell, they were awarded the bronze. THIS REALLY SINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN!!

[RummyChick]

Isn't it illegal to fix a sporting event?

I guess a daisycutter might be overkill :-)

[codebreaker]

Bill O'Reilly was laying out fraud and conspiracy for fraud to begin.

[codebreaker]

I think it was also intentional to keep the Americans out of the Bronze.

Rank these "sports" by which is more crocked:

1. Figure Skating/Ice Dancing
2. Boxing
3. Jai Lai
4. Trotters
5. WWF
6. College basketball

LOL! Is that the Red Chinese Judge or the Russians?

"Do crooked Olympic judges have diplomatic immunity during the games?"

Not unless her day job is as a French diplomat?

At the rate judges are bailing, they may have to cancel the rest of the skating competitions due to a severe judge shortage:)))

[codebreaker]

I think the Harlem Globetrotters is more on the up and up than the Ice Dancing.

At least we dont know by how many points the Washington Generals will lose by.

[randog]

I guess the liberals are right--competition is bad, brings out the worst in people. Give everyone a 'participation' ribbon and send 'em home. ;>)

[Miss Marple]

Maybe we could have a judge fleeing pool.

Lots more opportunity for scandal...we still have the men's single, wommens single, and ice dancing.

By next week they will have Scott Hamilton and Utah Girl judging.

[codebreaker]

And on the Ladies Judging panel.. we have Sandra Bezic, Liz Manley, Utah Girl, Scott Hamilton and Verne Ludquist!

[spectre]

The Russian team says "they deserved to win". At least that's what I think they are saying. The blonde is talking like she has a mouth full of cotton. They admit to making a few mistakes.

Their Coach sounds like she could be the warden of a female prison...tough cookie, vintage Russian.

What do they do when two judges are missing? Are their substitutes or what? How lame to say that the first judge went home sick...if she was sick she wouldn't have been flying on a plane for all of those hours..she would have been treated here. Can't believe they didn't come up with a better excuse.

Sports fixing is illegal.
