I’ll admit, I have been watching Kerri Walsh and Misty May for quite some time now. What can I say, I am a guy, I watch women’s beach volley ball. Plus, there is something sexy about these two and I don’t care what anybody says. Steffi Graf is hot too, but that is off topic……..
I watched every game throughout their olympic run. They never lost a set. For lack of a better phrase, they were awesome. Dominating. But what made them even more appealing–at least to me–was of what appeared to be their fondness of W. Granted, I have had my issues with the President but I still think he is a genuine guy. There is nothing false or phony about him, he truly believes in what he is doing. Apparently they saw it too.
I think we all remember this photo awhile back of the Prez having some fun with our olympic duo:
Bush knuckled off a couple of lobs, but defending gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh gave the chief executive some pointers. Then after a good play, in the tradition of female volleyballers, May-Treanor turned, bent over slightly and offered her bikinied rear-end for the 43rd president to slap.
“Mr. President,” she said, “want to?”
Bush knows nearly every camera for a half-mile was right on him, so he wisely chose instead to brush his hand across the small of May-Treanor’s back. Me? I would have put a welt on that thing. Then again, I am not the Prez.
But when they smoked the Chinese drama queens for their back-to-back gold medal, who did they make a definitive point to thank besides their families? And I mean a definitive point. It was obvious how much Kerri wanted this to get out to the viewing public, and for those stayting up late, it got out. They thanked our President for his inspiration and for all he’s doing.
You can see how they thanked W here.
I watched this live. And I remember thinking there is no way this clip–at least this part of the clip–would be shown on the Today Show. And guess what? It wasn’t. Shocking.
This made up for the badmitton, trampoline and race walking…
