[via Rice: N.Y. 'Perfect Place' for 2012 Games - Yahoo! News]:

NEW YORK - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called New York the "perfect place" to hold the Olympics, lending her support during a rally Tuesday a week before the vote to decide the host of the 2012 Games.

... as she scratched Michael "soy tu perrita" Bloomberg behind the ears, to the delight of partisan flacks and the horror of the children, who were witnessing the Mayor's incessant drooling and gleeful leg thumping of the ground.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Rice's visit to City Hall will send a "powerful message" to the International Olympic Committee that the city's bid has the "full and wholehearted support of the United States government."

A support that he wore with pride after graduating head of the class as the White House's new top perrita. This great accomplishment was achieved earlier last week after Bloomberg showed the world how well he could wear his Repugblican approved rhetorical collar and how eager he was to let Karl Rove publicly jerk him with his ideological leash. Indeed, the Mayor was so happy he sniffed and humped any leg he could get.. After a few run-around Ms. Rice's legs and a sack full of quibbles and bits, they retired to Bloomberg's $75 million dog house at City Hall; while New Yorkers where left out in the rain. All in a morning's worth of Repugblican work.
