Conservatives So, So Happy That Obama Could Not Bring Economy-Spurring Olympics To America

The brilliant political humans at National Review’s The Corner — the #1 Internet blog — are cold slappin’ high-fives and chuggin’ jars of Elmer’s glue because they are just so happy that the American president was unable to bring the biggest sporting event on earth, and a boon to the local economy of Chicago, to America. Thanks for trying, Obama — NOT. Get it?? Ha ha ha! Fuck you Obama you fuck! STIMULUS — FAIL. OLYMPICS — FAIL. HEALTH CARE — GAY. RACISM — FAIL. RUSSIA — FAIL. IRAN — FAIL. ENERGY — WORTHLESS. (Oh btw, Rio won. Congrats Rio!) [The Corner]

    They’re *so* running out of things to ^5 each other about. Lewzers.

  2. Okay Jim did you correct ‘because’ or was I temporarily dyslexic? I need to know.

  3. Tommmcatt says at 12:57 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Yeah, thanks a lot Jim. I was on day 50 of “not going to The Corner and having a ragegasm”. Now I gotta call my sponsor and get back on the wagon.

    In America, The Corner reads you.

  4. It appears that the righties have adopted the Ben Tre Logic to saving our country.

  5. obfuscator says at 1:00 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    this reads like a group of 8 year olds recycling and snowballing the same unfunny half-joke in a profoundly ghey loop of comedy fail.

  6. memzilla says at 1:01 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Although not enough that I could stand to listen to Peter Allen singing “I Go To Rio,” I do take comfort in the fact that Jonah Goldberg can still win the gold medal for Douchbaggery.

  7. El Pinche says at 1:01 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    YAY!!!! AMERICA FAILS!!!!!

  8. user-of-owls says at 1:01 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    I’m sure these smirking pustules, and their hairier-knuckled counterparts at Drudge & Estado Rojo, are enjoying the start of a three-day weekend, since they already had everything written in advance:

    “Evil Obama GOT the Fuckin’ Olympics”
    “Evil Obama LOST the Fuckin’ Olympics”

    Just tell the secretary to plug the appropriate one in after the announcement and jet off to happy hour at Elmer’s Glue Bar.

  9. El Pinche says at 1:03 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    You know… one could get angry at these folks. But it’s like getting angry at Trig for drooling all over your pancakes. Retarded Americans don’t know any better.

  10. 4tehlulz says at 1:03 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    We know you hate America guys; you can stop trying so hard now.

  11. shadowMark says at 1:03 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Tokyo was eliminated in the second round. Cool. Now all of us Chicago guys who dress like cliche images of Al Capone can go out tonight and get drunk with Japanese women who dress like school girls. Win.

  12. SayItWithWookies says at 1:03 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Wow. Just imagine their glee if America goes to shit. Oh, wait.

  13. magic titty says at 1:06 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    K-Lo’s just pissy because there’s no belly-flop competition.

  14. just like obamitler to try to get the socialized new world olympics. maybe he should have had rezko and ayers and ACORN lobby on behalf of chicago, that would have pleased the ineffective pedophiles in the international community. furthermore, birth certificate.

  15. seriouscat says at 1:06 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    America failed? Yes!! Now we can take the country back from the radical leftists and enact our fool proof plan to pray-to-Jesus-and-condem-gays our way out of the shitter! High five, guys!

  16. Cape Clod says at 1:06 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Wait a minute! How is Rio going to host the Summer Olympics when it’s winter there in the summer?

  17. WadISay says at 1:06 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Really, if Obama was trying to save a box full of newborn kittens from being chainsawed by Freddie Kreuger, these guys would root for Freddie Kreuger.

  18. hobospacejunkie says at 1:06 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    I love bashing The Corner as much as that Glanton perv claimed to be a lefty, but does anyone but Mr. Newell even read The Corner anymore? Last we checked they had so much time on their hands they were personally calling potential subscribers to beg for money. It seems they are suffering there own little holocaust.

  19. Gopherit says at 1:06 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Hey, they’d be outraged if there was a 5 meter cheeto relay.

  20. I’d barely gotten over Obama’s merciless treatment of retarded Olympians - and now THIS?

  21. The Cold Sea says at 1:09 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    I always knew Republicans hate America.

  22. memzilla says at 1:09 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    In honor of Rio winning the Olympics, we should change the Newell Internet Meme.

    Example: “Jonah Goldberg should eat a bag of lightly salted poison capybara dicks.”

  23. PerhapsSo says at 1:10 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    WaPo is right there with them: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/02/AR2009100202779.html. They originally had the headline as “stunning defeat,” but they appear to have changed it. Yes, so stunning that the frontrunner won!

  24. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 1:11 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    At least no one is talking about the horrendous jobs report.

  25. user-of-owls says at 1:12 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Cape Clod: They’re going to make the synchronized swimmers swirl the opposite way.

  26. PerhapsSo: Cunts.

  27. PabaBritannica says at 1:13 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: I’m about 99% sure that they ranked behind blogs like LewRockwell.com and The Daily Paul, so there you go.

    Obama you successfully passed the stimulus of failure and could not get the Olympics! These are both the same sort of failure you failure! Jimmy Carter is better than you because guess what? YOU’RE A FAILURE! mumahahahahahahamagrrrrghamamauchmunchmunchmunch.

  28. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 1:14 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    K-Lo uses ellipses like a fatty pausing for breath. Imagine the chunky turds she would shit out if only Jonah Chodeberg could maintain a chubby for more than 5 parsecs.

  29. Wonder if skoalrebel is backing his colleagues on this douchefest? He seems like a bit of a sport, so maybe he was hoping NR would send him to cover the games.

  30. proudgrampa says at 1:16 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    WadISay: Well said!

  31. DemmeFatale says at 1:19 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    I can’t believe our Hopey spent an ounce of political capital on this crap.
    Doesn’t the Olympics eventually drive it’s host cities into debt, anyways?
    Please correct me if I’m wrong, sports isn’t my thing(And don’t even get me started on NASA!)

  32. stumpycuse says at 1:21 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    can we call them (and Michael Steele) unpatriotic?

  33. Car Ramrod says at 1:23 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    DemmeFatale: LA (1984) and Atlanta (1996) both made money on the Olympics.

  34. Jumping Jim says at 1:25 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Chicago just has corrupt politicians. The IOC has professionals who do corruption. That is their only focus.

  35. Cape Clod says at 1:26 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    user-of-owls: I wonder how many drownings that will cause?

  36. Flanders says at 1:30 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Cape Clod: clever!

  37. Oldskool says at 1:30 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Wonder how Barry managed to pull off the tsunami and follow up earthquakes with nary a finger pointed at him. He’s a sly one, he is.

  38. The brilliant political humans at National Review’s The Corner Humans, JIm? What do you know that I don’t know? Oh right, sorry: satire.

  39. Crank Tango says at 1:34 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    There really should be a word for people who rejoice in American failure. Besides “patriot,” I mean.

  40. DustBowlBlues says at 1:40 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    So the Olympic committee did the right thing, and gave this to South America. Kind of a snub to Hopey, though. Is the IOC Republics?

  41. geminisunmars says at 1:42 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    DemmeFatale: Salt Lake didn’t do so well - but that was “merely” Winter olympics. I’m still so proud of Denver for turning them down back in the 70s. I don’t get this rah-rah crap either. For sports, nasa either.

  42. Vulpes82 says at 1:44 pm, October 2nd, 2009
  43. geminisunmars says at 1:45 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Cape Clod: It’s always summer in Rio de Janeiro. I think I see a cable show in its future.

  44. Sharkey says at 1:49 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Can we please just view this as a repudiation of Oprah?

  45. DustBowlBlues says at 1:51 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Will no one ever identify why Rio won? Skimpy bikinis and a president with a seriously fun name. Really, Corner, is it that difficult?

    Lulalulalula. Like rooting for Kaca (sp?) in the World Cup. Kacakacaka. Beautiful people with fun names and almost naked ladies on the beach to keep the men folk happy. Duh.

    How many minutes until a Winger figures out it was that giant Jesus statue that put God on Rio’s side?

  46. DustBowlBlues says at 1:57 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Jumping Jim: “Chicago just has corrupt politicians.”

    This is a joke, right? Read anything on South America lately? Not to dump on our American friends down south, but I just read a book about Lula and corruption is still a terrible problem in South America. Endemic and hard to eliminate. Like Illinois.

  47. Crank Tango says at 2:00 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Cape Clod: with lots of rock-hard nipples, I hope. But seriously, that is a really good fucking point.

  48. DustBowlBlues says at 2:01 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Flanders: Ditto the comment from Clod. Does water flush in the toilets counter clockwise? Because the only country I’ve ever been to that isn’t US, Canadastan, Gay England and snotty France is South Asia, where you don’t really try to figure out the way the squatters work

  49. pat robertsons personal trainer says at 2:02 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    this was pretty stupid from the beginning. (1) now that most of us get more than three channels, U.S. ‘Mericans (black ones, no less) again dominate international hoops, and there’s no big bad USSR to fight it out with, no one gives a flying fuck about the olympics–winter or summer. (2) this really was an exercise in corruption as it always is. how else can you explain all these UN-lite types agreeing to salt lake effing city back in ‘02, even if it’s “for the skiing”? (bullshit, it’s always for the coke and hoes and the best SLC can offer is subpar meth and multiple wives.) and in this case, who’s really going to win that competition of corruption, chicago or rio? i mean, yes, in this country, Chicago is corrupt, but jeezus, they’re amateurs in the world market. Hopey never stood a chance unless Michelle was bringing drugs and hookers. and besides, have you ever seen a brazilian in person? you will drop you pants.

  50. Jumping Jim says at 2:08 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    DustBowlBlues: I could have elaborated… there are reports of Olympics being bought (see SLC) so I would wonder if anything changed hands to achieve this result, as the IOC has benefited from such things before. Or you could just read what Pat Robertsons personal trainer wrote.

  51. Jukesgrrl says at 2:13 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    I certainly hope Obama now has Mayor Daley over a beer barrel with something BIG he wants in return for doing that fool’s errand. If Hopey didn’t learn that tit-for-tat in the Windy City, the tea-baggers will start saying he wasn’t really a community organizer, the University of Chicago transcript is a fake, and he was still in Kenya until about five years ago.

  52. Suds McKenzie says at 2:13 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    So, can I still be outraged Hopey went somewhere yesterday. … Fuck it I’m outraged.

  53. nappyduggs says at 2:16 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    This is all a part of the bigger picture. The sexy Scientology aliens who are coming to reclaim the Earth will fit in much better in a Carnival-type atmosphere than they would eating cheese- filled fried cheese on the shores of Lake Michigan.

    Get ready for a galactic butt probe, you beautiful but syphilitic Brazilians!

  54. glamourdammerung says at 2:28 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    So, can we officially point out the GOP hates America and wants it to fail now?

  55. victorferreira says at 2:29 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    DustBowlBlues: Just google José Sarney or Paulo Maluf, if you have the time. God, what a bunch of assholes.

    Oh, and I can attest: There were some fucking hot days this winter. Like, upwards of 30ºC (that’s about 86ºF+, for you Celsius hating freaks). And I live in one of the colder cities…

  56. Rotundo says at 2:57 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    glamourdammerung: They worked fervently for it for the past 30 years, most folks are aware of this, but yes, it probably bears repeating. About 30% of the general populace just will not understand or accept this any way in which it is presented. Your modern post-Bush Republican party supporter. Mercifully demographic trends seems to be shrinking the ranks.

  57. JSDC007 says at 2:57 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Kathryn Lopez loves that Chicago didn’t get the Olympics, and she hates having the right to vote as well.

  58. bitchincamaro says at 3:08 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    I had Lush Rimjob on the radio at noon; he had just gleefully announced the good news, pronounced Obama unfit to disarm the Iranian nukes, then splooged all over his polished brass mic. What a puddle of pus.

  59. Manos: Hands of Fate says at 3:09 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Ronald Reagan wouldn’t have put up with this shit. He got the LA Olympics by threatening to send in the special forces to take out the wusses at the IOC. My way or the highway mother fuckers — that’s a real ‘merican.

  60. proudgrampa says at 3:33 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Vulpes82: Sharkey: Yes. It WAS a repudiation of Oprah.

  61. american mutt says at 4:02 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    Isn’t there a Metallica album called, “Kill em all”? Yeah, there is. I like that album.

  62. President Beeblebrox says at 5:44 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    We all know that Rio won because they have better-looking trannies than Chicago.

  63. lochnessmonster says at 5:59 pm, October 2nd, 2009

    They just wanted an excuse to go to Rio…hmmm do you think Sanford will lead the fact finding mission for the Reps when they need to go during the games??? Brazile is close to Argentina!

  64. Should have solicited the support of Blagojevich and left Opra’s big ass home.
    The larger than life ego and his annoying “Ursula” look-alike wife earned a big zero.
    What a Putz!

  65. bakeneko says at 12:46 am, October 3rd, 2009

    Repubs prefer Rio? Really? Simple math:

    Way more “Boys Gone Wild” than Chicago…

  66. LowerdPeninsula says at 2:16 am, October 3rd, 2009

    Jumping Jim: “Chicago just has corrupt politicians. The IOC has professionals who do corruption. That is their only focus.”

    Truer words have never been spoken. The IOC is a giant racket. As someone else, said, we’d have been better off sending Blago, Rezko, and Daley, and leaving Obama, Michelle, and Oprah, at home. They’d have gotten the job done. The IOC doesn’t respond (kindly or otherwise) to honest folks.

  67. peeno nwar says at 2:58 am, October 3rd, 2009

    “Does this mean the IOC is Racist?”

    No, it means you are.

    Now go back to eating your bag of Shadenfreude-flavored dicks.

  68. fork-wielding maniac says at 12:51 pm, October 3rd, 2009

    i was dippin’ a full can of rooster natty cut in front of my web cam when i read this. my lips mouthed the words and juice ran down my chin and into the keyboard. i got fuuukin’. piiissed. auff.

    iow, jonah goldberg is a douche.

  69. desertwind says at 2:48 pm, October 3rd, 2009

    The wingers just live to dance: Samba! samba! samba!

  70. William Buckley would be spinning in his grave but he’s already been incinerated in the fiery depths of hell.

  71. Long Form Def Certificate says at 8:34 pm, October 4th, 2009

    JSDC007: Is K-Lo Messican? ‘Cause there are plenty of them in Chicago, & if they are at her next family reunion… Well, she’ll be hanging upside-down, & disembowelled, in a maquiladora outside Juarez. Just another Invalid Letter Dept.
