The gold for killing sport goes to Mike Pence, international man of misery

FULL STORY by Marina Hyde: The GUARDIAN…..

One history professor described the vice‑president’s deportment for the entire Olympic visit as “a new low in a bullying type of American diplomacy”. What a great slogan to spray on the side of Air Force Two. That, or an anamorphic skull next to the legend ET IN SPORTING ARCADIA EGO. If athletic excellence can feel Promethean, you should picture Mike flying in like a great Caucasian eagle to peck the winners’ livers out.

Needless to say, he is supported in his idiosyncratic version of patriotism by Fox News, inarguably the Trump administration’s state broadcaster. If the other networks are covering a breaking story unfavourable to the regime, Fox News can always be found leading their bulletins with some elaborately irrelevant piece of Hillary Clinton arcana.
