What happened to Condi? (NY'c Olympic bid)
When W designed not to get involved with the finale of NYC's 2012 Olympics bid (other than making a video appearance), my understanding was that Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice was going to represent the US Government and show its backing for the bid. Other than a cutesy photo-op, did she actually contribute anything?

2. We didn't have a snowballs chance in hell
Foreign entertainers coming to this country have absolute hell just getting through the border and our agents are assholes. We are a warmongering belligerent country hated by the world.

Who the fuck thought we ever had a chance?
