Poor Kevan
So the Chinese Government isn’t going to provide unfettered internet access to journos at the Olympics, gee, who would’ve seen that coming? Apparently not the chairman of the IOC press commission Kevan Gosper.
Kevan has expressed dismay about this turn of events because he believes that,
“It has dented my reputation quite seriously.”
Sorry Kevan, but that’s pretty hard to swallow. After your involvement with the IOC bribes scandals, then stitching up Phil Coles for behaving much like yourself, ensuring that your daughter was the first Australian to carry the Torch in the lead-up to the Sydney games, displacing another young woman, and your defence of the Chinese government’s torch relay goon squad, no-one really places much stock in your reputation Kevan. The only people left who want to deal with you are the equally dubious members of the Olympic ‘family’ who are jostling for their turn at the trough.
Hey, Dave, are you aware of the new spelling of his name?
It goes like this… S C U M B A G
There!
Yeah, I saw that comment from Kevan and my first thought was, “Reputation? The only reputation you have, Kevan, is a shithouse one.”
God, the ego of this man!
Trouble is, that trough snorter could’t give a rat’s tail about what people think, seeing the press let him crap on regardless.
The entire olymic games leaves me cold, see kludgey stream of consciousnessrant if you can be bothered.
Either his parents were bogans or they couldn’t spell Kevin.
Possibly both Wah
And I’d recommend lemmiwinks rant to everyone as well.
Your link to lemmiwinks rant doesn’t connect for me Dave, but the one in his comment does. Btw, good rant – China is a contradiction.
Fixed it.
I HAVE KNOWN KEVAN FOR OVER 30 YEARS WHILST IN THE OIL BUSINESS AND HE IS A MAN OF HIGH INTEGRITY JOHN BULLOCK -EX CHAIRMAN OF BRITISH PETROEUM PENSIONERS COUNCIL
I hope that your secretary was more effective with the Caps Lock key than you are John.
Also, a history in the oil business doesn’t seem to correlate with the best of ethics in most cases.
He won a silver medal though…..
The Internet in Beijing is back online, I see. How come this site isn’t on the ban list?
I’m a personal friend of Hu Jintao.
Just write something about T.I.B.E.T. and see what that friendship is worth.
