George, go to the Olympics

Forget silly comparisons to 1936. Bush is right in choosing to attend the Beijing Olympics.
March 8, 2008

President Bush is catching quite a few javelins for his decision to attend the Olympic Games this summer in Beijing, with one Republican congressman saying his presence would be akin to President Franklin D. Roosevelt attending Adolf Hitler's Berlin Olympics in 1936. Setting aside that we're all thoroughly sick of rhetorical references to Hitler, Bush is, for a change, on solid diplomatic ground.

The comments came from Rep. Frank R. Wolf of Virginia, who co-chairs a congressional caucus on Sudan and is mad at China because its economic and political ties to Khartoum are allowing the regime to flout international efforts to halt mass killings in Darfur. Congress has little power to stop the president from going to the Olympics if he chooses, but Wolf is doing the next best thing by introducing legislation that would prohibit diplomatic and other government personnel from spending federal money to attend.
