Okay, so I just got done watching the Olympics on NBC this evening where they had women’s platform diving semi-finals.  Why do they have such crappy interviewers in Beijing?  Andrea Cramer interviews the 15 year old Haley Ishimatsu who just missed making the finals and asks her what’s going through her mind given she “just managed to miss the finals”.  Um, duh, she’s devistated.  Her Olympic dream is over.  Haley breaks down during the interview and Andrea just stands there, like an idiot, staring at her.  Haley apologizes and Andrea says “It’s your first time, we understand this” with, in my opinion, an uncaring tone to her voice.  Anyway, she asks Haley some other stupid question about “what she will take away from this experience” and Haley barely can get a complete sentence out she’s so emotional.  I was watching the interview thinking “For crying out loud, hug her already!  She’s sad for not making it and now embarrassed that she’s crying on national television.  Do you even feel?”  Why can’t Cat Deeley be doing the interviews for the Olympics?  At least she is good at showing that she cares when someone is hurting or is at least really good at faking it.

Wow, I must really be suffering from lack of sleep if I felt it was important to write about this before going to bed tonight.
