Commie Teams

Corruption as a way of life

Nobody who watched  will ever forget it. The U.S. basketball team had never lost an Olympic game in 36 years, but the Soviet Union’s team surprised the Americans in the 1972 Munich Games. With just six seconds left, the USSR was clinging to a one-point lead when American Doug Collins was deliberately fouled.  Collins sank both of his free throws, giving the US. its first lead, 50-49, with three seconds left. The Soviets inbounded,  but Rooskie coaches walked out onto the floor - a technical foul.   One second showed on the clock. But, what's this?  The clock was set back to 3 seconds? Soviet ball! Once again they inbound, and take a desperate shot that falls short as time expires.  But, what's this?  Officials yet again reset the clock to three seconds?!?  A length of the court pass goes to Soviet star Sasha Belov, who charges  past two defenders to score at the buzzer.  This time, it's over. You can watch the final three minutes here, if you can stand it. It was for me a practical demonstration of how a predatory power can and will, if it controls the right officials, practice prestidigitation of that transparency at will. Here's a scene from what I will suggest are spawn of that bankrupt system, today's Democrat party. Not as dramatic as their recent Al Franken miracle shot perhaps, but an example of  pervasive decay and stench from this ... this  Obamacy. “ Spitzer to Deliver Harvard Lecture on Ethics?

The talk is titled "From Ayn Rand to Ken Feinberg – How Quickly the Paradigm Shifts. What Should be the Rationale for Government Participation in the Market?" It's unclear whether Spitzer will be paid by the hour or simply given a flat fee for services rendered. [Weekly Standard Blog] ” Sheesh.
