Awwww…. The Great One failed to deliver for his Chicago cronies

That’s all you got? Pretty weak.

You’re not exactly Charles Atlas yourself, bub. I’ll generously assume this thread is an attempt at parody, but point out that parodies should try to be a little bit clever.

Of only minor relevance, earlier today I saw a homeless guy suddenly bolt across a street to shove at another man who was unlocking a bicycle. I kept an eye on the situation in case it became violent. Another man happened to be holding a camera and snapped a few pictures of the altercation. The homeless man chased briefly after the photographer, but gave up quickly. Meantime, the homeless man’s cheesy-poofs were being eaten by fast-reacting pigeons, because in his excitement to confront the bicycle-unlocker, he’d dropped the bag and scattered the poofs all over the sidewalk.

This thread reminds me of that experience.

If you don’t plan to return to the thread you started, then ask for the thread to be closed, you fucking trolling protuberance. What a cowardly cleft you are.

1. If the OP had asked, I probably wouldn’t hve closed it, based on the Pit tradition of lettingthe OPs of backfired pittings take their beatings .

2. OTOH, this does smack of trolling, and has been abandoned by the OP, which suggests that he was trolling.

3. Therefore, I am closing the thread, and I am telling Jimmy Joe Meager not to start Pit threads that he plans to abandon.

4. As usual, if someone thinks I should reopen this, go ahead and PM me. I’m always willing to reconsider thread closings.
   No warning issued.

Ok. Several users have PMed me to point out that I should probably read more carefully. Thread reopened. Carry on.

Hosting the Olympics is a bad thing. As in massive money-losing bad, where a few people skim some cream and everyone else takes it in the shorts. And with our economy in the toilet, an Olympic session is about the last damn thing we need.

Looks like Clothahump is singing from the “things to bitch about had Chicago won” hymnal. It’s a wise bettor to put chips on both red and black.

I wouldn’t worry about you, personally. There are still plenty of us around that recognize that you have a functioning brain, complete with cerebrum. But I’m telling you, if you and the rest of the intelligent, sane conservatives don’t try to do something to take back the Republican Party, you’re going to be an island in a sea of howling monkeys.

That reminds me of the final scene from Aguirre the Wrath of God, for some reason. Will the last sane Republican please clean up after the monkeys? Thank you.

Despite his abundant charm and eloquence (and hot wife!), mmmm mmmm mmmm Barack Hussein Obama failed to deliver the Olympics to the Chicago machine that backed him. I bet they’re plenty pissed. I mean, think of all the skims, graft, kickbacks, bribes, and favors they won’t be getting now! All that juicy money… *not *flowing through Chicago… from the tourism, the liquor, the construction, the advertising, the prostitutes. The prostitutes! Won’t *somebody *think of the prostitutes???

Whatsoever shall Chicago do now? Eh… probably just beat another black kid to death.

This is just the most petty goddamn thing ever. Are you a child? What the fuck?

A bit of comedy…

The guys over at the Weakly Substandard broke out in cheers at the news, posted their gloating at their website, then hastily went back and scrubbed it.

Yeah, I love how in the set of four possible scenarios of Obama lobbying or not lobbying, and Chicago getting or not getting the Olympics, Obama would be wrong in all cases.

Obama and Opera wasted two hours of my time this morning. The OIC conference lies between my place of work and my home and they had put up barricades all over the city. But anyway the right city won. It has already been in the USA twice in recent memory and once in Spain. And never in S. America. So three cheers for hot Brazilian samba girls. Perhaps they could swing it so the OL is at the same time as the carnival.

@Jimmy_Joe_Meager

No, I’m pretty clear on that. Rio probably “won” because they offered the IOC larger bribes. Hell, even the French figure skating judge voted for Rio.

I have laughed my ass off at this thread. It really does boil down to Jimmy-bob pitting the president because he was not corrupt enough to bribe the IOC.

After all, the early odds-on favorite for the Repubs during primary time last year was someone who WAS…

Wingnuts- gleefully fiddling while Rome slowly, thoughtfully, surely recovers from a massive arson binge.

They can’t even get their evil right.

Fox News is running a headline, “Obamas Fail in Personal Pitch to Bring 2016 Olympics to Chicago”

Hilarious subtitle:
“President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama risked their political capital and the prestige of the presidency on an enormous Olympic campaign that resulted in an early exit for Chicago and the top prize going to Rio de Janeiro.”

The prestige of the presidency has been ruined!

Well, that because the Mittster is a realist, a hard-headed man who deals with things as they are, not some idealistic lefty.

Oh yeah, well I stopped reading about halfway through reading the topic on the BBQ front page.

Wow. That is some grade-A powerful stupid right there.

Hmm… I *think *I get what you’re trying to say. I’m the homeless guy, right? And the other posters replying here are stupid parasite infested vermin who are scurrying around thrilled to be eating what is essentially garbage?

Um… yeah. Gotta say I agree with you.

[stolichnaya]

oh, man. This is so pitiful and hilarious. It’s like watching Terrell Owens cry.

@Ferret_Herder

You know, he did decline to go earlier on, saying he had a lot of stuff to do, until it was pretty much made known to him that since all the other heads of state would be there for their bids, it’d make him look bad and reflect poorly on the bid if he didn’t show. People would be shrieking about how he copped out if he hadn’t gone.

Exactly. If he hadn’t gone, the nutters would be piling on him for not doing enough to support America, and thus ruining our chances to host the games.
