day 70/reason 31: Bush violates act of Congress with Olympics ad
The Bush campaign has apparently violated national and international rules about use of the Olympics, which is regulated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the US Olympic Committee (USOC).
According to an ESPN article, An act of Congress, last revised in 1999, grants the USOC exclusive rights to such terms as "Olympic,'' derivatives such as "Olympiad'' and the five interlocking rings. It also specifically says the organization "shall be nonpolitical and may not promote the candidacy of an individual seeking public office.''
However, in true weasel fashion, Bush's campaign is refusing to pull the ad despite requests from the USOC.

The Preznit never met an international accord he doesn't hate. Pollution, land mines, enriched uranium, Geneva Convention,you name it, he says it doesn't apply to 'Amairka' since we are fighting a war on 'Terra'.
