Chicago was voted out of the 2016 Olympics in the first round. Rio de Janeiro ended up the pick and I think it’s wonderful that they enjoy the first Olympiad to be done in South America. It’s too bad that Chicago wasn’t able to get it though. Bare minimum, it would’ve meant a huge influx of money to the US.

But from the looks of it, there’s a few folks that are celebrating a bit more than the good folks in Rio. (hat tip to TPM)

“Cheers erupt at Weekly Standard world headquarters,” wrote editor John McCormack in a post titled “Chicago Loses! Chicago Loses!”

The line was quickly removed, but ThinkProgress caught it in time and posted a screenshot of the post.

But even with the edits, McCormack is still obviously reveling in America’s defeat.

“As a citizen of the world who believes that No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation, I’m glad that the Obama White House’s jingoist rhetoric and attempt to pay back Chicago cronies at the expense of undermining our relationships with our allies failed,” he wrote.

He’s not alone. McCormack’s fellow conservatives joined in the celebration.

“Chicago and Tokyo eliminated. No Obamalypics,” Michelle Malkin tweeted, following up with, “Game over on Obamalympics. Next up, Obamacare.”

“Please, please let me break this news to you. It’s so sweet,” said Glenn Beck on his radio show.

“Hahahahaha,” wrote Red State’s Erick Erickson. “So Obama’s pimped us to every two bit thug and dictator in the world, made promises to half the Olympic committee, and they did not even kiss him. So much for improving America’s standing in the world, Barry O.”

The Drudge Report announced the news like so: “WORLD REJECTS OBAMA: CHICAGO OUT IN FIRST ROUND. THE EGO HAS LANDED.”

“The worst day of Obama’s presidency, folks. The ego has landed. The world has rejected Obama,” echoed Rush Limbaugh.

“President Obama fails to get the Olympics while unemployment goes to 9.8% Iran continues nuclear program. America needs focused leadership,” Newt Gingrich tweeted. Then he added, “Somehow charm and oratory dont seem to work in foreign affirs but historians have warned that foreign policy is different than campaigning.” (sic)

“ChicagP\/\/n3D!” tweeted Newsmax, of recent fame for running, then pulling, a column about an impending military coup against Obama.

Um…yay America? Love it or leave it? Careful right-wing nutocrisy, your insincerity is showing. And right in front of the children, too.

Honestly, I don’t get how people can be fans of any of these folks. Their contempt for average people, while displaying a mask of defenders of the American people, is staggering.
