So you can go to youtube and rate it, I won’t argue.

Unless it’s a low rating.

Top 10 Reasons

redtillimdead (Diary) Sunday, October 4th at 9:19PM EST (link)

Chicago did not get the Olympics-
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.
6. Obviously no president would have been able to acomplish it.
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.

Well, I do (and you really must see Steven Foley’s graphics):
10. Republican subterfuge

9. Feared our inner-city thugs could beat up their inner-city thugs

8. Disappointed that Obama did not wear his White Sox jacket

7. Railroad tie fighting not supposed to be a trial event

6. Michelle’s sacrifice too great, so the IOC could not inflict any more on her

5. Racism!

4. Disappointed that Obama did not wear a Chicago Gangster Hat

3. Concern that community organizers not enough involved in process

2. Disappointed at Michelle’s poor grasp of common Klingon idiom
And the number one reason Chicago lost the Olympics ….

1. IOC thought George W. Bush still President of Chicago

Bush's Fault

From Allahpundit over at Hot Air:

A nice point from the comments: Chicago was selected as a finalist for the 2016 games last summer, when the Chimperor was still president. So much for Bushism poisoning the city’s chances.

If you pay someone to sit on his butt, you can’t be surprised when he does.

Sometimes I think I’m pretty with it internets wise, then I get scooped by the NYTimes by almost a year. I was only exposed to this meme a couple months ago.

Food for thought: In the last line Hitler says he should have voted for McCain. Would McCain have brought the Olympics to Chicago? Hmmmmmmm….

The Movie

The film is Downfall

The actor is Bruno Ganz who was a sensation in Europe thanks to his performance as Hitler. Sadly he was not nominated for best actor at the Oscars.
