Rejoicing In America's Failure?

Today, all of the United States lost out on a huge economic and patriotic boost when Chicago was eliminated as host of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Can you imagine that any red-blooded American would be gleeful over such a loss? How about the following folks:

Glenn Beck, who rejoiced at the "sweet" news that Chicago lost its Olympic bid

Rush Limbaugh, who joined Beck in rejoicing: "The world has rejected Obama"

Michelle Malkin, who jokingly asked, "Hey, can we close the White House Olympic Czar's office now?"

Erick Erickson of RedState, who summed up his feelings by writing, "Hahahahaha! I thought the world would love us more now that Bush was gone. I thought if we whored ourselves out to our enemies, great things would happen. Apparently not."

Matt Drudge, whose webpage's top story soon blared, "THE EGO HAS LANDED-- WORLD REJECTS OBAMA: CHICAGO OUT IN FIRST ROUND."

The Weekly Standard, who twittered "Chicago Loses! Chicago Loses!" Their own website bragged that cheers erupted in the Weekly Standard newsroom when news of Chicago's elimination came across the wires.


So I'm guessing these pricks would be happy if the U.S. lost the war in Afghanistan, right? If I lived in Chicago, there would be no way I'd listen to any radio station that carried Rush or Beck anymore.
