"The chances of New York to host the Olympic games in 2012 were not that good. But now they were lowered to zero."
-- An International Olympic Committee member, quoted by Spiegel (translated by Florian), citing the Bush campaign's refusal to pull a campaign ad that mentions the Olympics.
The background on this is that Bush has been trying to wrap himself in the Olympics in an ad and that he has been slapped down by both the Iraqi soccer team and the IOC. Now New York finds out that Bush has screwed them out of the Olympics. Like New Yorkers need another excuse to hate Bush.
