Nastia Liukin - All Hail, the Red, White... and Pink?

The first gymnastics I ever remember watching was 1984 when Mary Lou Retton charmed the entire world. I was eight years old. I would stand in the middle of my father's living room, do a somersault and stand up with my hands high and my chest out turning around for all the imaginary judges scoring me. To this day, I remember exactly what her uniform looked like. Why do I remember what her uniform looked like, you ask? Oh, maybe because it represented our country and was, yes, red, white, and blue!

Now, it was bad enough when I saw the American women in red and silver leotards for the team competition, but then for Nastia Liukin to walk out last night in a hot pink Barbie outfit! What the hell is that? While I understand this was the individual all-arounds, I still think you should represent the United States and hot pink just doesn't scream American Pride to me.

I found the George Bush "Bored" video!

See previous post of George Bush bored at Olympics Opening Ceremony.... I found the video on You Tube where someone geniously actually just taped it off their tv. You can't make it out that well, but it truly was classic George!

Are we boring you, George?

Did you just see that?  While watching the Parade of Nations at the Olympic Opening Ceremony, George Bush just totally looked at his watch and winced.  I swear, we thought he was going to stand up and flag down the hot dog vendor!  Hey, George, you're not at a Texas Rangers game, dude!  If I can find a video of it, I will post tomorrow.
