Top 10 Reasons Chicago Didn't 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.
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.

So bad that Oprah Winfrey will have to frown
Olympics are slim picks, when Barry's your shill
You do things like lose out to Brazil
He had the task, Chicago to sell
I had to laugh, he came with Michelle
O Chicago, Obama let you down!

From Newsbusters:Top Ten Things About Letterman's Trysts With Staffers
10. Learned everything he knows about interns from Bill Clinton.
9. Was jealous of A-Rod, if you know what I mean.
8. Well on the way to becoming the next ex-governor of New York.
7. Makes Mark Sanford look like a rank amateur.
6. Because he’s a liberal, endorsement from NOW was never in jeopardy.
5. Didn’t care about the book, but wanted the movie rights to ‘The Scarlet Letterman.’
4. Is so glad he didn’t have a ‘morals’ clause in his contract.
3. Has great story for his support group, ‘Philanderer’s Anonymous.’
2. If he had to do it over again, he’d collect cars like Jay Leno.
1. Gives company name “Worldwide Pants” a whole new meaning.

“1. It’s George Bush’s fault.”
This is actually what they are saying:
“Chicago torpedoed by anti-U.S. sentiments
October 3, 2009
BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political Reporter apallasch@suntimes.com
Some Chicago officials say anti-American resentment likely played a role in Chicago’s Olympic bid dying in the first round Friday.
President Obama could not undo in one year the resentment against America that President Bush and others built up for years, they said.”

A little help here? In the late 1960s there was a British television series called The Prisoner about a secret agent (played by Patrick McGoohan) who tried to resign from his agency and was shipped to a prison village. McGoohan was called #6 in the prison.

Maybe #6 should have been MO saying, “For the first time in my adult life, I can be proud of the IOC,” should they select Chicago.

Check out the last paragraph:
The slap to Chicago was such that some IOC members were left squirming. The city's plans for Olympic competition along its stunning Lake Michigan waterfront had long made it a front-runner and earned support from the highest possible level.
"Either it was tactical voting, or a lot of people decided not to vote for Chicago whatever happened," IOC member Gerhard Heiberg said. "Nobody knows, but everybody is in a state of shock. Nobody believes it. I'm very sorry about it."

10. Chicago is considered a dirty, crime ridden city.
9. The Chicago criminal enterprise could not keep their hands off.
8. The other countries involved are non-partisan & non political.
7. Obama interjected himself in the process.
6. Michelle interjected herself in the process.
5. Oprah interjected herself in the process.
4. Obama spoke badly of American exceptionalism while he was there.
3. Michelle Obama’s sacrifice statement showed she did not want to be there and was an insult to the IOC.
2. Obama & Michelle made the whole trip about them and it showed.
1. Obama and Michelle lack influence at home and the results translated abroad.

This is going around too.
Top ten pickup lines David Letterman has been known to use on staffers.
10 So what else is a staffer on my show qualified to do, asuming hypothetically you were fired for not sleeping with me?
9 You can sleep with me or Bob Shaffer from the news division, it’s your choice.
8 Hey, staffer, I heard a funny joke. Knock Knock. Who’s there? Me with your pink slip if you’re not free tonight.
7 Want to know what I can get away with that Sarah Palin can’t?
6 No lunch break for you today.
5 Looks like it’s your turn again, unless you have any other job skills.
4 Did you see how Obama wrecked that job market? I’d hate to be looking for work now.
3 Hey, Paul, did you know I swing both ways, and love musicians?
2 I’m sorry, staffers are the only girls who don’t get to tell me to take a hike.
1 Sleep with me or you’re fired.
