Olympics vs. politics

1.Tougher on demonstrators: Beijing or Denver?

Denver! They have a secret dentention center that holds 5000 thousand protesters paid by you the taxpayers for 50 million dollars.

2.Media favorite: Michael Phelps or Barack Obama?

Phelps! Heck he is already in London promoting the 2012 games. By 2012 Obama will be trying to hang on to a failed government and most likely Hillary will be in the wings to seize power.

3.More anticipated: Tonight's speech by the candidate's wife, or the water polo final?

Who cares! The water polo final was transfer to horses in the pool in order to raise the final rating for NBC.

4.Dream Team: USA Basketball or Obama-Biden?

Coach K for President! End of discussion!

5.Biggest losers: Trash-talking French swimmers or the Clintons?

The Trash-Talking French swimmers already have the biggest porn site on the planet after being caught on Video and Bill Clinton is trying to be their agent of change for them.

6.Best backflips: Shawn Johnson or Biden on Obama's qualifications?

Biden! For having his Son [BO] arrest a alledged Gay for having sex with the whole Obama former church choir

7.Most notable no-show: Tyson Gay in the 100 finals or John Edwards?

John Edwards! He will be showing up for some time in a legal mess that will continue until the 2012 election

8.Younger: The Obama girls or China's "women" gymnasts?

Are you kidding! The Obama girls are the uglyest cheerleaders since the Dallas Cowboys let the Houston Texan's chose them last year.

9.Most fakery: The Olympics opening ceremonies or a political convention?

If the Democrats can get 3000 moonwalking degates wire to the top of Mile High Stadium with Ted Kennedy being the swing man at the end of the convention in the nude. The rating will be out of slight and most likely a new Star Wars movies will come out of it.

Media favorite: Obama. Phelps had to swim through the water instead of parting it with his staff.

Dream team? If I gotta pick, it's Obama/Biden (unless they promise a cabinet post for Coach K).
