Tonya Harding's back and this time she's swinging at President Barack Obama.
In an interview on HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," the infamous Oregonian lashes out at Obama for talking about doing a "Tonya Harding" and "knee-capping" on the campaign trail in his fight against then U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.
"He has this country to think about .¤.¤. and he has to bring me up?" she says bitterly. "Guess what? I get jobs because he used my name on national television."
So, strap on your knee pads and have a listen. But be aware there are some Tonyaesque expletives:
Even skanks hate 0bama.
Uh, yeah. There is/was a show on TRUETV that has a bunch of has-been, idiot, grade x level celebrities making stupid remarks about people doing stupid things that get them in trouble with the law. One of them is Tonya Harding. The only redeeming value I saw the one time I watched, was the comments by these "celebrities" were as stupid as the stupid stunts. They really picked from the right poll of celebs...
Good for her. That's a "job" one can really be proud of.
I used to always say that the difference between men and woman is that OJ Simpson can still get a date and Tonya Harding can’t.
I bet she’d be a less damaging president....
It's the only "job" she's qualified for.
Well...there is one other but that's too disgusting for me to contemplate.
He wasn't the 1st women to land a triple in competition. Think it is easy? spend some time around the skating culture, land singles, then doubles, then triples, it takes years, millions of falls, these kids work their hearts out.
The only thing the Bamster will do is destroy the Republic.
Tanya for all her faults and issues at one point was a champion in a sport that didn't like her blue collar edge. I just wish she would find peace, faith based or not, she deserves better.
I have more respect for her than Obama
That beanpole Barry wouldn’t last 30 seconds in the ring with T.H.
Ah geez! Is their another kneecapping in the offing?
She may be a skank but she’s the only female skater that has ever done a the Triple Axle and can do quad toe loop .
“Guess what? I get jobs because he used my name on national television.”
Good going, Barack. As if things weren’t bad enough already...
LOL :)
Don't put any money on that. She'd be horrible but for simpler reasons. Obama's catastrophic both because he's inept and a socialist idealogue. She's merely inept.
Well, if I had to choose between the two, it sure as heck wouldn't be OJ!
Lol:) You guys are cracking me up tonight.
I'm not sure of her grasp of the more complex issues but she'd be a very strong Commander in Chief! Iran would certainly not be an issue any more. :)
I have her autograph and a picture of us together, she’s awesome!
She may be a skank but she’s the only female skater that has ever done a the Triple Axle and can do quad toe loop.
EEEEE-YIIII-KESSSS
Disgusting and very sad photo. Sad because she once was a pretty girl with a world-class ability to skate. Once she had promise but was and remains self-destructive to an horrendous degree.
Looks like one of those cool oblique smears by partisan media shills. “Oh look — only losers like Tanya Harding are against Obama.”
Yeah, jobs. She appeared at a bowling alley/bar in south GA, (Douglas). A real happening town, that. Maybe 10,000 in the county.
I think she’s probably had enough of being anathema. She was a very talented skater.
Well, actually Harding was living with a guy about a dozen years ago, he was my late husband’s cousin. She attacked him with a hubcap.
Well, at least someone can credit Obama for getting her work. Come to think of it, now Obama will probably claim he WAS responsible for helping her, LOL!
She was a great skater, to bad she was surrounded by people that brought their trashy attitude to the rink.....
I've always thought those were the tricks she could do, uhm, horizontally!
At least he didn’t talk about doing the macacarena.
I’ll bet Tonya would give a better gift to a national figure than 25 movies on DVD’s.
I second that.
She was a gifted skater. I won’t diss her talent. To this day, she’s the only female to have done a triple axle.
I have to ask, did he deserve it? Or was she being a witch on a broom?
“she’s swinging at President Barack Obama”
but the newscaster has it all wrong, as did Obama....Tanya put Nancy Kerrigan out at the ankle, not the knee! The ‘kneecap’ headlines were all ‘media truth’ back then, just as we all know ‘media truth’...ie, lies, all lies!
You give Pres_ent Obama (without the id) waaayyy too much credit! He's just enriching 'the shorts' this week, prior to enriching them as 'longs' next month...rather than Pres_ent Obama (without the id), I like to call him President Long April, Short March....kinda has that Philipino Death March taste, with a hint of 'girly-man' that so well describes the current CIC! Would love to find out how many of his 'administration' were short America before joining up!...Perhaps we'll hear some of that before/during/after the March 12 'mark-to-market' hearings!
Give her some credit....she also said “He’s got better things to do than mention my name on TV”!!!! Would be ‘Understatement of the year’ if it weren’t against the UberLord-in-chief!
He has to!....It may be the only job he actually ‘creates’!
I predict he will be the first president who will be 'congratulated' for using the word Macacca in a sentence!
...In competition. I didn't know about the quad---was that in competition also?
Boy do I miss the television coverage that used to be during those years. Really loved watching that sport.
Tonya had a following and was doing OK until she got really stupid and had her tits pumped. Now she doesn't just act stupid, she looks stupid too.
True, but she over-trained and injured herself, and didn't have the sense to withdraw from the competition. In large part due to pressure from her 'husband' (using the term loosely) and the other thugs she ran with. She was going to be their claim to fame, they thought.
But she runs with a similar crowd as the Terrorist-in-Chief...
I fear the merely inept far less.
