Glenn Beck Attacks Obama Over Chicago Olympic Bid 9/29

RHETORIC: BECK SAID VANCOUVER LOST $1 BILLION WHEN IT "HAD THE OLYMPICS." Glenn Beck said, "Vancouver lost, how much was it? they lost a billion dollars when they had the Olympics." [Transcript, Glenn Beck Show, 9/29/09]

REALITY: VANCOUVER'S OLYMPICS WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL 2010. Vancouver will host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games from February 12 - 28, 2010 and March 12-21, 2010, respectively. [Vancouver2010.com, accessed 9/29/09]

the truth is, the lead up to the olympics here have been unbelievably retarded. but the politicians here are also unbelievably retarded. the whole thing has been a fiasco and this city would be better off without them. there's probably going to be riots here for the olypics and the financial benefit to the city is pretty much non-existent.

regardless, glen's still a jackass.

As for Beck claiming that Vancouver lost $1Billion, might turn out to be a prophetic under-estimation.

Anyone want to trade their apartment for mine in Vancouver for the months of January and February 2010? Nice 2 bedroom, only a few blocks to the Olympic Village and transit to many of the venues...
