VIDEO: Kennedy Family Olympics

With the news that Robert Kennedy’s grandson was contemplating a run for the House of Representatives, I began to wonder how the sprawling Kennedy clan goes about selecting their best candidates for public office.

Is there some kind of meeting of the elders at their Hyannisport compound? An intra-family “primary” campaign for the opportunity to run?

Then, after some sleuthing around the web, I stumbled upon this remarkable (and rare) video of the Massachusetts political dynasty’s “Olympics”-styled selection process:

“Uh oh. Pump up the jam.”

We’ve got Olympics fever, but it’s for Lillehammer, 1994 and one magical performance…

The real reason Chicago didn't get the 2016 Olympics…

In Obama's America, everybody gets trophies (or medals or whatever).

From a friend with inside knowledge:

Obama told them everybody would get a medal.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Brand manager for Hopenchange, the perpetual campaign

From Michelle Obama’s cringe-inducing address to the International Olympic Committee:

And I’ve brought somebody with me today who knows a little something about change. My husband, the President of the United States — Barack Obama. (Applause.)

Jesus, I thought they had finally jettisoned the smug “Change” sloganeering.

UPDATE: From J in STL,

Maybe somebody should have pointed out to her that the Olympics is all about continuity. Like over two thousand years of continuity. Change wasn’t what they were looking for.

Rio De Janiero: RACIST

International Olympic Committee: RACIST

To everyone who just denied billions of completely unaccountable dollars to Obama’s Chicago developer friends: screw you, baby-hating Nazi-racists!
