I just heard something on the radio about Johnny Weir throwing a hissy and storming out of the rink. Do you know what that's about?

[Howlin]

Olympics PrimeTime Ping!

[dinok]

He is a jerk...I can't belive we have to be represented by idiots like him.

The other night he trashed all Southern Republicans.

[STARWISE]

Man, your fingers are busy today .. LOL (me2;)

[Howlin]

I sure don't; I've been trying to avoid hearing anything about the games during the day.

We shall soon hear, I am certain.

[daisyscarlett]

Johnny Weir had a very bad day...it started off by him missing the bus to the arena so he got there late. Naturally, he blamed the Olympic organizers saying the bus schedule used to be every 10 minutes but today they changed it to every half hour...

[cmsgop]

[Howlin]

Can you put your medals thingy over here? :-)

[UB355]

I will not be a spoiler, Google Johnny Weir if you want

[Howlin]

I am really tired tonight for some reason.

[pipecorp]

she didn't score very well.

[Dog]

I have got hooked on womans curling? those Swedish women are HOT!

:-)

[STARWISE]

Screengaze does that to me, too @@

[Howlin]

I actually find it interesting.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Was tonight's costume in worst taste than Tuesday's or something?

Looks like maybe yes.

[Dog]

Yeah so do I...for another reason.....:-)

OMG!

[gopwinsin04]

Fruity denied!

[Miss Marple]

Yikes. I hope he fell on his butt and came in 20th. He is an embarassment to this nation, and I am rooting for the Japanese guy or the Russian.

[Dog]

Who the heck is that?

[A Citizen Reporter]

That's Johnny Weir.

[Purrcival]

Johnny Weir

[Dog]

Who is he?

[firewalk]

Thanks for the ping

[Dog]

Why is he wearing Commie colors?

[A Citizen Reporter]

He's the American male figure skater. Thinks he looks cute in the CCCP outfit?

[Miss Marple]

He is the extremely obnoxious, full-of-himself, super gay-acting, anti-Republican male skater representing the USA. I am rooting for the Russian or the Japanese. Or maybe the Swiss guy.

Weir is an embarassment to this nation. He wears see-through outfits, plucks his eyebrows, and wears more make-up than the women skaters.

[warsaw44]

crude...me too. I listen to talk radio all day long here at the home/office. every time the news came on I'd cover my ears like a little kid. I wish folks wouldn't tell us ANYTHING which we will see tonight. Maybe a big block letter announcement stating as such in post number 1 each night would do it?

[Dog]

Ugh.

[Purrcival]

Why is he wearing the Commie colors? Here's his explanation:

[Howlin]

I just screamed something REALLY NASTY at Chris Matthews; I've about had enough.

[Purrcival]

I scream at Chris Matthews every time I see the clown on TV. What did he say THIS time?

[Carolinamom]

One of Mathews' advertisers is Preparation H. LOL

[mass55th]

Thanks Howlin.

[Miss Marple]

How appropriate! I refuse to watch him since he went down the Texas National Guard road. He is a class A jerk.

I am torn...Tony Snow is on O'Reilly tonight and yet I want to watch Weir to see if he falls (which I hope). I guess I will see who Tony has on and switch if it is someone boring.

[Howlin]

Now he's saying that Cheney did it to send a message to Bush!

[BigSkyFreeper]

Can you put your medals thingy over here? :-)

[Carolinamom]

You could do both if you're willing to stay up for the O'Reilly re-run.

I think it's hilarious that the Preparation H product is targeted to Chrissy's audience.

[BigSkyFreeper]

That is Johnny Wier.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Chrissy's hemorrhoids are acting up. He should stop using Head and Shoulders and put some Preparation H up there.

[mware]

They are all a bunch of moonbats.

[mware]

They are all a bunch of moonbats.

[Baynative]

He wanted to wear the tightfitting glittery sequined outfit, but his manager brought the wrong color eyeshade and he just couldn't get comfortable with the arena lights.

[BigSkyFreeper]

[JMS]

I've got to say that none of the Swedish girls were as hot as Cassie Johnson the US Skip.

[Purrcival]

"Now he's saying that Cheney did it to send a message to Bush!"

BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHA! So what's the message, supposedly? "This could be you"? "You're next"?

Twit.

[Howlin]

They just are not going to quit parsing every single word.

[Howlin]

Oh, geez! Now Olbermann wants to know if the SHERIFF can be investigated for a slopy (in his opinion) report!

[Purrcival]

I can see the headline in the NY Slimes now:

"Cheney Victim Released from Hospital (DAMMIT!)"

[A Citizen Reporter]

I nearly forgot about Dancing with the Stars! I've got weeks invested in this.
