Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton praised British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for saying today that he won't attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics in August.
"I wanted to commend Prime Minister Gordon Brown for agreeing not to go to the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing," Clinton said during a speech at the Irish American Forum in New York, according to her office. "That was an important decision by Prime Minister Brown and I am calling on Senators McCain and Obama to join me in my request that President Bush also not attend the opening ceremonies."

Instead of boycotting the Olympics, I think Hillary should change it from within by COMPETING! How dope would that be?! The only way to show China what's up is to single-handedly win more gold medals. Do it Hilla-me! U-S-A! U-S-A!
