DR. Rice: "I will be New York's personal ambassador to host Olympics"
Well if THAT doesn't convince the world to come here, nothing will.



====

(City Hall-WABC, June 28, 2005) — The White House lending its political muscle to boost the New York City's Olympic bid. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is at City Hall offering herself as a personal ambassador for the bid.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stood by the Mayor this morning at City Hall. She's offered to be the personal ambassador for New York City's bid to host the 2012 Olympics.

New York's emissaries are preparing their trip to Singapore where on July 6th the decision will be announced by the International Olympic Committee. They decide who will pick the bid and house the Olympics.

Rice wanted to personally pitch New York at the Singapore meeting but had to cancel. (Note: Since she is currently needed here to tie 9/11 into Iraq all over the airwaves.) Even so the Secretary of State's decision to back New York City some say sends a strong message that the 2012 Olympics, belongs here.

1. Well, kiss those Olympics goodbye
If Condiliar is the ambassador, then I think Paris has a lock on the 2012 events.

32. Eva Braun is trying to cozy up to NY so she can run against

Senator Clinton.


By that time she and Hitler GW will be married with twins.

5. New York's chances of hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics
are slim at best. I'd put my money on Paris or London.

Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics and the IOC usually doesn't award Olympics to the same continent twice in a row.

Besides hopefully Condasleeza will be in jail by 2012.

26. It is understood in NY that it's all over but Bloomberg's tears
We don't want the Olympics and it's pretty well understood after the Jets stadium fiasco that we are not seriously in the running.

7. Is that part of the Secretary of State's portfolio?
Or does this fall in the bailiwick of her job as Secretary of Stinkeye?

I've been having a problem with an abandoned van on my street. I wonder if Condi can help me out with that?

9. Well, so much for that idea
As Randi Rhodes would say: "Buh bye NY Olympics"

Condi needs to keep her ugly mouth shut! That would be "diplomacy!"

12. I'm glad she stepped in.
I'm glad she stepped in. Virtually guarantees that the Olympics will NOT go to New York. We don't need this right now. My personal choice of the front runners is Paris but it would be nice to see a South American country get it. How about Sao Paolo or Rio?

I can't imagine they are that delusional that they believe this bitch has any sway in the international community.

29. "Oh my God! Theyt've all turned to stone!"
"Wasn't my fault..."
"Auch! I told yuou shouldn't be a host for the olympics."
~ My take on what may happen if Condi does host.

30. Oh great. If you want to make sure something fucks up, put Condi on it.
Just leave everything to Contradicta.

Actually, she should be well-suited as the personal ambassador to Gitmo.
