DUers, we have a new athlete to admire here at DU - No Spoilers

[Catch22Dem]

They were doing a little story on Johnny Weir before he skated and here's what he said (as best as I can recall)

"Some people, the more republican types are afraid of what I say and what I mean to the sport, and that's fine with me. They should be afraid of me."

There you have it folks, so send some good vibes his way.

3. i thought that was a weird interview

I was happy to hear the subtle republican bashing, but I guess I didn't get what made him so outrageous or why the establishment would/should be scared.

I thought his short program was fantastic, though ...

4. I thought it was pretty weird myself.

But he didn't get his nerves to get ahead of himself as the other two american men.
