Adolf Hitler would have been so proud

Did you enjoy the Olympics opening ceremonies? WHY NOT? Who told you to say that? Who do you work for?



This Olympic spirit was brought to you by Kaiser Permanente, Budweiser, Old Navy, VISA, Exxon Mobil, Coca-Cola, BMW, T Mobile, Nissan, General Motors, General Electric, Lexus, Bank of America, Lenovo, Tylenol, Hilton, Vizio, McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Pantene, Kia, Johnson & Johnson, Kodak, Panasonic, Samsung, UPS, Volkswagen, Adidas, Staples and NBC.

The blood of the victims of China's next crackdown is on the hands of all of them. For what they've paid for Olympic sponsorship, their logos ought to be prominently displayed over the bodies.

We would also like to note that the Bush administration is ending as it began. George W. Bush, the man who apologized to China after the Chinese government shot down a U.S. plane and held the American crew hostage, honored the authoritarian regime again by becoming the first U.S. president to attend an Olympic Games outside the United States. NBC's cameras showed him at the opening ceremonies chatting amiably with Russian Prime Minister (for life) Vladimir Putin, who earlier in the day sent troops, tanks and airstrikes into the sovereign republic of Georgia.



Just a bunch of guys enjoying a show together.

From where they sit, authoritarianism looks pretty good.
