1980 Redux: Boycott Sochi ! Says Lindsey Graham

Free episodes:

Great idea Senator ! So what if the 1980 Boycott achieved nothing but dashed the hopes and aspirations of scores of athletes and wasted their training time and money and lowered nbc's ratings and wasted their time and money as well....Idiot.

Personally I could care less either way. Not only don't I give a damn about jock culture, the Olympics are no model of ethics themselves. They cause all kinds of problems of their own and so far as I'm concerned, all the time and money spent on them could be put to better use anyway. That being said, it's also obvious that this is yet one more grandstanding campaign designed to get public attention. Why doesn't anyone ask why the media is focused on all this peripheral irrelevant noise rather than the issues Snowden is trying to warn us about?
 
So the senator is demanding we boycott a nation long reviled for its history as a surveillance state on grounds of its giving asylum to an insider blowing the whistle on the U.S. as a surveillance state. Is anyone else here feeling just a little confused?
