4. Reminds me of Bill Maher's line from maybe a year ago or so -

"The Presidency of the United States is not supposed to be the Special Olympics - NOT EVERYONE GETS A TURN!!!"

6. Don't insult the Special Olympics athletes

by comparing * to them.

7. you just reminded me of...

The Seinfeld episode where Kramer is trying on some weird shoes and is coming from the dentist and is mistaken for a "special" person and is invited to the dinner.

Life does copy art. :rofl:

8. Well, I would simply say

that 99.9% of those in the audience are far more intelligent and gifted than their "guest speaker."
