I think there was a Dick Cheney joke in that last skating routine, with the safety orange costume and the birds chirping at the start of the music.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Seriously.
Get me a ticket to Italy and I'll give him a hand job.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sasha Cohen must be learning job interview skills. "What's your biggest weakness?" "Well, I'm just such a perfectionist...." @@

Well, we needed a tragic flaw. Saying she's a whiny princess who flits from coach to coach just doesn't have the right ring to it.

Yes, Sacha is a big ol' attention hound. If she wins, she wants to be on a sitcom. "I love attention, that's why I do this."
And I'm so on Shanie's side, though Chad has reason to be peeved, because he did win a gold and all anyone asks about is Shanie.
I feel like we should drink every time Dick calls something "second rate"
I don't need to get that drunk on a work night. Scott Hamilton bowed out of commenting on ice dancing, I guess because that's not his field, but Buttons seems to think his Viagra-needing maunderings enhance the experience or something. Him and the woman are completely bitch.
And Emily Hughes is the cutest thing ever.

With Emily you could almost remember its a sport.

What I loved about Emily was her refusing to go along with the reporter's "You must be so thrilled to have this opportunity to skate on the world stage, you must have been so nervous," and she gives them this look of "Please, I've been training and competing in world championships." She refuses to play into their script.

Dick Button on Sacha Cohen: "I found myself thinking Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it." I found myself thinking, "Dude, Depends."
