On one of my lefty mailing lists I just received an appeal to sign a petition to ban Israel from the next dreary Olympic Games.
Of course I signed it, since I like the idea of banning Israel from anything it could possibly be banned from.
Still, a little humorous imp wouldn't stop giggling somewhere in the back of my brain. Surely, the imp whispered, if there's anywhere that Israel belongs, it's the Olympics? The world's most nearly Fascist country, these days -- surely it ought to take pride of place in one of the world's most Fascist spectacles?
The ideal outcome, of course, would be that everybody else boycotts the London Olympics and only Israel and the Brits show up. Israel would kick the Brits all around the stadium and the Brits would tearfully express their deep gratitude for the opportunity to be of service.

The Olympics? Wow, I didn't know people still watched that.
However, banning Israel from the next World Cup -- now you're talking, man.

Haven't you got that turned around?

Banning Israel from the World Cup would be like banning Rush Limbaugh from rhythmyc gimnastics. Top level footie requires much more talent than murdering unarmed hippies in the high seas or bribing US Congresscritters.

World Cup, Eurovision? Surely the first order of business is banning Borgore.

calling fort judah's present schtick
zionic fascism
strikes me as removing
the quint-essence of the mini me fraud
the trappings of liberal democracy
are retained for ceremonial occasions
and of course
the delectation of his norte amigo landsmen
in nassau county
much
as a harlot might put on
the elk's club beauty queen dress
she wore b4 her big ride into
the darkside of the city
you know
"just fer pictures i kin send back home
to my folks up in the kentucky hills"
at any rate what ever mini me wears
for his studio close up shots
his enlightenment era theme park outfit
is ever ready to wear
ever ready to aide
this tiny con mans slippery gig
he'll never go falange in public
closet fascist ???
hell who isn't these days among those within 100 yards of power
no doubt he enjoys it too
much as the wolf enjoys granny's night shirt
much as mini's sugar uncle' mistah Sam '
loves
to wave above his head
the nation's beloved declaration of independence
and bill of rights

op --
"mini-me" refers to Israel as a mini-USA?
"mini-me" refers more narrowly to Israel's Trash-Bin 'Net & Yahoo?
seeking clarity. both seem to work as interpretations of your post's references.
