Olympic Mens Basketball Team Disses Bush

[THUNDER HANDS]

(yeah, I love Richard Jefferson, as I am a big NJ Nets fan, I love his quote)

Word is, President Bush is considering an impromptu visit to the Summer Games.

Unless he wants to blow his shot at re-election, he should not be seen in public with the U.S. men's basketball team.

"We got nobody on our side," Team USA's Shawn Marion said. "Referees, fans, reporters . . . nobody."

It's true. Even shocking numbers of Americans want these Americans to lose. Even the president is smart enough to understand this, which is why he's rumored to be pondering a show of support for the real Olympic dream team.

That would be the Iraqi soccer team, which would advance to the finals with a victory tonight.

"I didn't vote for him (anyway)," Team USA's Richard Jefferson said when told Bush had suddenly become a huge soccer fan.

1. Ha!

They've given me a reason to cheer for them!

Iraq lost, though. Too bad.

2. Just wait until they come back and are listed as "terrorist risks" just

like Kennedy, just because, yes, they're rich, but mostly (if not all) non-white.

5. *Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!*

You win the prize for recognizing why Bush won't support athletes from his own country.

3. I'm back on the bandwagon!

I know one player who is going to have a TON of strange fouls called on him next year.
