let me swoop around with my leg in the air <\/a>so the crowd goes wild …”<\/p>\nI AM SICK OF SEEING MICHELLE KWAN DO HER BIG FIGURE EIGHT LOOPS WITH HER LEG IN THE AIR AND A HUGE SMILE ON HER STUPID FACE AS THOUGH THAT’S ALL SHE NEEDS TO DO TO WIN A GOLD MEDAL.<\/p>\n
I AM SO SICK OF THE DRAMA OF MICHELLE KWAN<\/p>\n
Sorry, Kwan. You lose. Back down. Give it up. Retire. I am sick of you dominating the airwaves. You think we don’t all know it’s deliberate? As though hemming and hawing about “oooh, I have a cold” will mean, somehow, that you will get a Gold medal? “Ooooh, will she compete? Will she not?”<\/p>\n
I AM SICK OF IT.<\/p>\n
I love ice skating, but I have one message for the Kwan-ster:<\/p>\n
STEP AWAY FROM THE ICE.<\/p>\n
Sasha Cohen blew you out of the water at the last Olympics, skating with more fire and more courage than you did – and you should be very very frightened of your competition, and stop trying to create some emotional melodrama so that you win as some kind of emotional favorite. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN.<\/p>\n
I AM SICK OF THE GOLDEN-LIT MELODRAMATIC PERSONAL-INTEREST PIECES … I AM SICK OF THE SAPPY MUSIC … I AM SICK OF SEEING YOU IN YOUR STUPID BLACK LEGGINGS STARING AT THE CAMERA WITH A PENSIVE FACE …<\/p>\n
I want someone ELSE to compete for the gold medal. It’s not yours to win anymore.<\/p>\n
I AM SICK OF YOU, MICHELLE KWAN.<\/p>\n
I AM SICK TO DEATH OF YOUR PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE BULL CRAP.<\/p>\n
STEP AWAY FROM THE ICE.<\/p>\n
Dear Lord in heaven: forgive me.<\/p>\n
So come on now, God. Let me have it. Strike me down with lightningbolts. I know I deserve it. I know when I speak to mere mortals, down here on earth, and I say something like, “I am so SICK of Michelle Kwan” I am stared at with shock, and revulsion. I have spoken blasphemy.<\/p>\n
Which is part of the problem.<\/p>\n
Because – er – she’s just Michelle Feckin’ Kwan. She hasn’t won a Gold Medal. Big whup. Neither have I. Her time is up. She has received every other Medal known to man, but waaah waah wah she wants the Gold Medal!!!<\/p>\n
MICHELLE:<\/p>\n
STEP AWAY FROM THE ICE.<\/p>\n
Sasha Cohen is going to KICK YOUR ASS – at least this is my deepest prayer – and it’s time for you to step back, join the cast of Skating with Celebrities<\/i> and SET US FREE FROM YOUR WINTRY GRIP OF DOOM!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
