Hitler snubbed Michael Phelps at '72 games?

By Humberto Fontova

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has always craved the type of news coverage from the Venezuelan media U.S. presidents such as JFK and Jimmy Carter got from the U.S. media – to say nothing of the type presidential candidate Barack Obama currently gets. Alas, a few Venezuelan reporters persisted in covering Chavez in a manner more similar to that of Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and Andrea Mitchell's coverage of U.S. Republican presidents such as Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

Praise by a Chavista for a proud American athlete seems to have gone slightly overboard. "Only Michael Phelps, when competing in the 1972 Munich Olympics, over there in Hitler's Germany, won as many medals," continues the Chavista newscaster. But wouldn't you know it: "Adolf Hitler, who presided over these 1972 Olympics (in a chauvinistic snit fit, it appears), refused to personally award the medals to Michael Phelps."

Bwahahahah! You can't make up that stuff!

Hey, in 500 years, some kid is going to get an “A” on his history test for writing a paper like this and getting all the names from the same century right in one sentence. It’s close enough for public school. ;)

Bwahahahah! You can't make up that stuff!

Make it up? Make it up?!?

U.S. Senator John "Bluto" Blutarsky was an eyewitness to Hitler's snub of Michael Phelps at the 1972 Olympics, the Summer before Hitler bombed Pearl Harbor.
