Thread Name: Potboiler. Bye-Bye Olympics 2008!
Subject: RE: Potboiler. Bye-Bye Olympics 2008!
Har! Har! What a farce! I also couldn't care less whether Toronto gets the Olympics. It's just a bunch of hype anyway...in search of dollars.

I agree with Justa Picker that the reporter should've had pity on Mel and just kept his mouth shut. But since when have reporters had pity on anyone?

Truly incredible. Jean Chretien in Ottawa, Mel Lastman in Toronto, and Mike Harris at Queens Park. The horror! The horror!

I can't help but agree with Rick about the minority group spokesmen (spokespeople?) who are cynically and gleefully siezing this heaven sent opportunity to trash old Mel...it's all so utterly predictable and tiresome. All that self-righteous indignation. Blah, blah, blah...

I'm glad I don't watch TV.
