Political bloggers are buzzing about HBO's Bryant Gumbel, after his recent take on the Olympic Winter Games: "So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the winter games look like a GOP convention." For the most part, politically conservative bloggers took issue not with the paucity of African American athletes competing in the games, but at Gumbel's comparison to a GOP convention.
NewsBusters links to the video, and questions why the comment has received scant attention: "You'd think these remarks would have received more attention than they have. (Well, maybe not.) It's just hard to imagine a Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity getting a pass on something like this. Don'tcha think?"
"Does he really mean they GOP is a 'whites only club'? It was absolutely idiotic to equate the GOP to racism," Steve at Bring it On! blogs. And Mark at USS Neverdock writes, "You can bet it would be all over the media if someone on the Right said such a thing.
