From elsewhere on the internets (namely, my inbox), NBC Olympics commentary quotes:
Weight-lifting commentator:
'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'
Dressage commentator:
'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'
Gymnastics commentator Paul Hamm:
'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'
Boxing Analyst:
'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.'
Softball announcer:
'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.'
Basketball analyst:
'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'
Rowing medal ceremony:
'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.'
Soccer commentator:
'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.'
Tennis commentator:
'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?'
What I do know is that The Daily Show has been handed pure gold.

Off to Milwaukee, again. Juliana should come with me this time - the entire city is overrun with Harleys of every possible description. (105th anniversary weekend.)
Nothing says family values better than trying to fire your brother-in-law.
Well, trying to get someone else to do it for you.
Naw, that just says good governance. Well, it does in Republican.
'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them...
You know some of us are too mature for that sort of humor. Now excuse me while I wipe diet pepsi from my monitor.
Stephanie - yes, I still have it. I am not home right now, but will send it when I get there.
When I say that The Daily Show has been handed pure gold, that's not a knock against Palin. It's just that the pillar of McCain's message is that Obama isn't ready to be president due to lack of experience, so they are being handed an epic amount of irony.
Am at the park- 2 things
1 - am bothered by pantylines even with elementary school age girls
2 - a neighbor-ish boy is here, r years younger than mac and he keeps a completely expressionless face like 70% of the time - kills me dead. They are playing lightsaber duel.
Heh. I'm following the watch-n-post on the Cubs game over at the Tribune (Cubs up by one in the bottom of the 8th, and my dad, brother, and his family are all there, so I hope the Cubs win), they just noticed that George Will is at Wrigley, and he has a Cubs logo on his cellphone.
